Sai Satcharitra - Ovi to Ovi english Translation - Chp- VIII

July 5, 2007

46. The way in which one has acquired knowledge, or has performed his deeds, he will get the body accordingly. Thus it is stated in the Shrutis. 47. “A person is born according to his knowledge” (wisdom). The benevolent mother Shruti says so. Therefore, according to his store of knowledge, a soul is born. 48. God’s ‘leelas’ are beyond the intellect. It is impossible to know them totally. But that human being should be considered fortunate, who is able to know even a fraction of God’s ways. 49. Human life is acquired by utmost good luck; and to be born a Brahmin is more fortunate. By God’s grace to be near the feet of Sai is a rarer opportunity. To gain all these is rare. 50. Although there exists different forms of life, human life is superior to all. From where have we

come? And who has created us? Such questions can be answered only by a discerning human mind. 51. The other species do not have the knowledge. They are born and they die. They do not understand the past, the present and the future and nor the existence of God. 52. God was, therefore, overjoyed after the creation of man, thinking that man, by means of sense discretion and non-attachment, would worship Him. 53. Evanescent man doing ‘sadhana’10 (Spritnal Practices) will become eternal God. There is no other better means than the human body, to reach God through ‘sadhana’. 54. A snake-charmer is very shrewd. He does not perform before a layman or a novice. He expects the right audience which will appreciate his skill. 55. Similarly, after creating innumerable insects, animals, birds and plants, God was surprised and disappointed. He felt that His creation was meaningless. 56. In the infinite expanse of the universe, the sun, the moon and the innumerable stars were there; but there was nobody who wondered even for a moment about the Creator. 57. Not a single living creature had even given a thought to the motive behind the whole creation of the

Lord. 58. ‘My whole creation is futile till such time as I have not created a being who will be sharp and intelligent and who will appreciate the prosperity and abundance of my creation’. 59. Having thus thought to Himself, God created man who with his sense of discretion would know His powers. 60. ‘My glory is limitless. My powers are incomparable. This creation is the result of my Maya. With wonder he will realise that all this is the sport of my Maya. http://www.saileela s.org/books/ sss/index. Send free SMS to your Friends on Mobile from your Messenger.
