Message of the week - December 20, 2007

[Guest guest]

Sairam,

 

Happy BABA day to all. Pray BABA guides us and fulfills all our wishes

and guides us always.

 

Here is the message of the week.

 

When a man takes a plunge into the sea, he gets the merit of bathing

in all the Tirthas and sacred rivers. Similarly when a man takes

refuge at the feet of the Sad-guru, he gets the merit of bowing to the

Trinity, i.e. Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh and also Para-Brahma. Victory

be unto Shri Sai the wish-fulfilling tree and the ocean of knolwedge,

who gives us self-realisation. Oh Sai, create in us regard for Your

stories. Let the readers and audience devour them with the same relish

with which the chatak bird drinks the water from the clouds and

becomes happy. While listening to Your stories, let them and their

families get all the sattwik emotions, viz. let their bodies perspire,

let their eyes be full of tears, let their prana be steady, let their

minds be composed, let their hair stand on end, let them cry, sob and

shake, let their hostilities and their distinctions, great and small

vanish. If these things happen, that is a sign of the grace of the

Guru dawning upon them. When these emotions develop in you, the Guru

is most pleased and will certainly lead you on to the goal of

self-realisation. The best way, therefore, to get free from the

shackles of Maya is our complete and whole-hearted surrender to Baba.

The Vedas cannot take you across the ocean of Maya. It is only the

Sad-guru, who can do so and make you, see the Lord in all creatures.

 

Let us pray to BABA to bless us always.

 

Humbly Yours, Sairam
