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

[Guest guest]

91. “I am not the mind, intellect, or the sense organs. Nor am I theanything

till he lives. If he resorts to ME with full faith, his difficulties will be

removed.

 

92. In this way, I am beyond the senses. I have no interest in the sense

objects. But there is nothing where I am not present. I am not the doer or

the cause of any deed.

 

93. With the realisation that the mind, intellect and other senses are gross

instruments of the physical body, detachment will arise unveiling the

concealed Self-Knowledge.

 

94. To forget one’s own real nature is itself the illusion; to remember the

pure and complete bliss is ME – none but the Supreme One, Pure

Consciousness.

 

95. To turn oneself towards that ME is itself a service and devotion to ME.

When I experience the bliss of the mind, it is knowledge in the pure form.

 

96. The soul is Brahman itself. Bliss from understanding knowledge is

Brahman. By the knowledge of the untrue nature of the world, the illusion

about the world will pass away. Brahman is Truth. That is ME.

 

97. I am eternal, pure, enlightened, the liberated one. I am Vasudeva, the

sacred letter ‘Aum’. I am the truth. Your good lies in worshipping ME with

true faith and devotion.

 

98. Thus realising my true nature serve ME in the right way. Moreover,

surrender to ME completely. And be one with ME.

 

99. When the river surrenders to the ocean, can it come back? Will there be

a separate identity when she embraces the ocean?

 

100. Just as a wick soaked in oil when joined to a flame of light, becomes

itself a bright light, in the same way a person reaches the status of a sage

at the feet of the sage.

 

101. He who thinks of nothing but Allah Malik, the Supreme Being and the

Pure Consciousness, he has peace, has no desires and looks upon all with an

equal eye. How can he have a separate identity from the Supreme Being?

 

102. Where there is not the awareness of oneself, where there is no ego,

where there is absence of strife or quarrel (twofold nature of the world),

where there is no wish for worldly possessions, where these four virtues

reside, can there exist the ego?”

 

103. Summing up, in Sai’s nature these eight virtues exist in their complete

form. Where is the place then for the ego? How can I then nurse such

egotism?

 

104. “He whose self is pervading in the universe, I am part and parcel of

Him. Surrender at the feet of Sai. This will mean MY service.

 

105. To serve ME and to sing my praises, to surrender to ME completely will

lead to union with ME. So says Krishna in the Bhagwat.
