Guru Poornima is a full moon day, celebrated by the

Hindus in memory of the Gurus. Guru, here-in, means a

religious and/or spiritual teacher of what-ever level

of achievement. The highest level of a Guru in a human

embodiment is a Sadguru, known else where as a

Perfect Master or Qutab. Under these Perfect Masters,

spiritual teachers of various levels in the hierarchy

of Gurus function. All of them try to evolve the

different species including human beings not only on

this earth but else-where in a perceptible and

imperceptible form. They sacrifice their lives for the

cause of others as directed by God. They not only

teach but also walk-along hand-in-hand with their

devotees and disciples for their evolution.

They give both temporal and spiritual benefits to

their devotees. Their responsibility of devotees does

not necessarily end in one life-time. The Perfect

Masters are perfect creations of God and they

try to bring perfection to who-so-ever they came in

contact ceaselessly and egolessly.

 

Let us Pray to get their kindness on this day that is

on 29.07.2007.

 

Baba Said

 

" A guide is always necessary to show us the right way

in small or great matters "

 

Gurupurnima' is an auspicious day celebrated all over

India. The word `Guru' here indicates a `Sadguru',

otherwise known as a Perfect Master or by the sufis as

`Qutab'. Ordinarily, the word Guru is used for any

teacher imparting training in any field of knowledge

e.g. a professor, a music teacher etc. However, the

word `Sadguru' depicts a personality so vast and

universal, that it is beyond comprehension of an

ordinary mortal. Only the spiritual seekers get a

glimpse of this entity as they advance in the

spiritual path. A Sadguru is one who leads the created

to the creator.

 

Being himself beyond the multiplicism and dualism of

nature, he has the power to pull-out human beings from

the limitations of nature imposed on them. Some people

think that a living Sadguru is necessary for uplifting

the soul of an individual to spiritual

heights. However, history reveals that even after

leaving their body the Sadgurus continue in their

activity of elevating his people. The scriptures say

that:

 

" Dhyan-moolam Gurormurtih,

Pooja-moolam Gurorpadam,

Mantra-moolam Gurorvakyam,

Mukti-moolam Gurorkripa " .

 

Even if, the Sadguru is in a dis-embodied state, his

vakyam i.e., his sayings written and codified by

disciples in the form of holy books continue to render

the same effects for those who follow them. This is

not only the theory of Hinduism but of Sikhism as

well. The experience people have today about Sri Sai

Baba of Shirdi, who left His gross body on the 15th of

October, 1918 is a witness to this

eternal game of Guru-shishya interrelationship.

 

Being beyond limitations of nature a Perfect Master or

Sadguru is as much a living entity without body as

with a body in the time-continuum. A Perfect Master is

at first a perfect man, a Satpurush. A Satpurush means

one who does not suffer any imperfections or

limitations that all other creations of God are

subjected to. God is only perfect and everything else

is imperfect. The sadgurus, evolving life after life,

from the state of a normal human soul (Jivatma) reach

the State of divinity (Shivatma).

 

When this state of realization comes to them they are

not the body, nor the mind but are pure consciousness

and are known to be in a state of `Soham', 'Brahmosmi'

or `Anal-Haq'. Pain and pleasure, life and death, heat

and cold, and such other varied attributes of nature

perceptible in the phenomenal world do not affect

them, for they are in a state of Only God or pure divine consciousness. Their

attributes are the same as those of the God.

They are infinite existence, infinite knowledge, infinite power and infinite

bliss. This state is known as the seventh stage in the spiritual journey of the

souls. At this stage the gross, subtle and mental bodies are totally

annihilated. When they undergo

annihilation of mind `Manonaasha' , they become what is understood as

`Brahmnishtha' , `Paramhamsa' , `Turiya', `Jeevanmukta' etc., How-

so-ever intellectually one may try to understand or imagine about this state, it

is not possible to do so without actually reaching that state.

 

Most of these Shivatmas remain in a state of permanent

bliss in a God state even after leaving the body. They

are Jeevanmuktas, but that again is not the ultimate

stage. This stage, which is also known as the turiya avastha is not the final

stage of the divine journey. A jeevanmukta may be beyond the life and death

cycle but still he is not beyond all the forces of nature (Prakriti).

 

The higher stage is `Parammukta' or `Turiyateeta'

(beyond Turiya state). It is at this stage that the

soul reaches its highest goal. He is beyond prakriti.

Only the Param Bramha (the God Eternal) is beyond

prakriti, as prakriti is that power of God through

which He manifests in gross, subtle or mental forms.

This will of God to manifest and actual manifestation

is known as `Shakti'. The manifested God and the

creation are under the control of nature in

whatever subtle form they may exist. However, those in

the stage of Parammukta have the highest divine power

of creation, preservation and destruction. They carry

out the universal work of God in the

form of man on earth. It is these souls that come down

on earth in human body to evolve the souls of the

human beings (jivatmas) to the state of God

(Shivatmas). When embodied in human form, they remain

simultaneously in the state of God and also of man.

They do not move around like mendicants, and are not

bound by any scriptural injunctions. Their actions are

universal in nature, cutting across religions, nations

and all divisions of society. Even animals and

birds are not treated differently by them.

 

Sri Saima is in this stage of divinity. Let us then,

surrender to Him and worship Him on this auspicious

day.

 

Baba Said....

 

" No quest can be successfully carried out on an empty

stomach. Do not discard offers of food, served dish

should not be thrust away. Offers of bread and food

should be regarded as an auspicious sign of success "

 

Baba is every where just feel him and keep on saying `Om Sai Ram' to whom so

ever you meet.

 

OM SAI SRI SAI JAI JAI SAI!!! Let us pray at the lotus feet of Bhagwan Baba who

is the incarnation of all gods and protector of all, to show mercy on us, and

increase our devotion towards him

 

Jai Sai Ram

Swamy Mahadevan

Bow to Shri Sai-Peace be to all

Baba Bless you ever!!!
