Guest guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Sairam, Happy Gurupoornima once again. For those of you involved in selfless prayers for the welfare of others, my pranams. The best gift one can ever give is their time. Time is precious and time is money. When you spare few minutes of your busy schedule to pray for others who you do not know and have not met, that is selfless service and BABA always loves those who do service to others without any expectations. I am sure Baba is delighted with our little service. We always reward our children when we are pleased with them and their efforts and are proud of them. We do not care if the effort put in by the child is small or big. Similarly BABA, our universal father always rewards our efforts and encourages us to continue our good deeds. His reward unlike us is not materlialistic. His reward is assurance that He will run to us when we call Him and He will take on our burdens on His shoulders. The message from BABA through Satcharita for this gurupoornima is this.. Balasaheb Mirikar Balasaheb Mirikar, son of Sirdar Kakasaheb Mirikar was Mamlatdar of Kopergaon. He was going on tour to Chitali. On the way he came to Shirdi to see Sai Baba. When he went to the Masjid and prostrated himself before Baba, usual conversation regarding health and other matters commenced, when Baba sounded a note of warning as follows:-"Do you know our Dwarakamayi?" As Balasaheb did not understand he kept quiet, Baba continued - "This is our Dwarakamayi, where you are sitting. She wards off all dangers and anxieties of the children, who sit on her lap. This Masjidmayi (its presiding Deity) is very merciful, she is the mother of the simple devotees, whom she will save in calamities. Once a person sits on her lap, all his troubles are over. He, who rests in her shade, gets Bliss". Then Baba gave him Udi, and placed His protecting hand on his head. When Balasaheb was about to depart, He again said- "Do you know the "Lamba Bava" (long gentleman), Viz. serpent?" And then closing the left arm like fist He brought it near the right elbow, and moving His left arm like the hood of a serpent, He said- "He is so terrible, but what can he do to the children of Dwarakamayi: When the Dwarakamayi (its presiding deity) protects, what can the serpent do?Chapter 22 Satcharita. Let us place our burdens at His feet from this moment onwards. Let us tell Him what our problems are, and leave it to HIM to deal with them as He deems fit. HE knows what is best for us and HE will reward us accordingly. When we ask we are blinded with our immediate needs but when we leave it to HIM. He knows our present, future needs and will take care accordingly. Baba our life is yours, please take hold of it and lead us in this path accordingly.
