Sai Naam Ek Sahara

 

There is a Prayer...

 

" Sai Raham Nazar Karanaa,

Bachchon ka Paalan Karanaa "

 

which means 'Sai, please caste your merciful glances at your children and take

care of them'.

 

Lord Sri Krishna says in Bhagvadgita that " Whenever there is a decay of Dharma

(righteousness) and and ascendancy of unrighteousness I manifest Myself, and for

the protection of the virtuous, the destruction of the vicious and for the

establishment of righteousness, I manifest Myself in age after age " This is our

Sai.

 

Shirdi the first avatar, Sri sathya Sai is the second avatar & the Prema Sai the

third Sai's avatar. That's Krisha Sai, Rama sai, Jesus Sai & Allah sai

 

Bhagvadgita Chapter IV 7-8

 

" Whosoever offers to me, with love or devotion, a leaf, a flower, a fruit or

water, that offering of love of the pure and self controlled man is willingly

and readily accepted by me "

 

Bhagvadgita Chapter IIX 26

 

 

No religion was ever intended to be anything more than the Gateway to God as

Truth. Sri Sai is the Path and the Goal in the realization of this Truth

 

Millions of men and women of world’s different religious faiths are being drawn

to the Lotus feet of Lord Sai to live in love, tolerance and universal

brotherhood. Sai devotees are carrying the torch of Sai’s love today

 

Religion is an act of vision that guides and leads us to the Beyond. Religion is

intuitive. Religion is so near and dear to each of us, so familiar to our soul

and so intimate to our heart, that it requires no definition.

 

Religion is not fanaticism. Religion, in the purest form, is a feeling of the

universal oneness of Truth. A fanatic never sees the Truth in its totality, even

in his wildest imagination. A fanatic has nothing to offer the world precisely

because he has not kept his heart's door open wide, and because he lacks the

capacity to commune with his soul.

 

Forgiveness, compassion, tolerance, brotherhood and the feeling of oneness are

the signs of a true religion. If we live in our oneness-heart, we will feel the

essence of all religions, which is the love of Baba.

 

In the Hindu tradition one speaks of atman equals Brahman, the individual soul

equals the universal Soul. Jesus Christ once said, " I and my Father are one. "

Are these two statements, coming from two different spiritual backgrounds one

and the same?

 

It is the same statement. We say in Sanskrit atman and Paramatman, the

individual soul and the Supreme Self. God comes down into the manifestation and

takes the form of the individual soul. Then the individual soul, in the process

of its evolution, reaches and becomes the Supreme Self, Paramatman. But to

fulfill Himself integrally and wholly in the material world, God needs the

individual soul, the atman.

 

The statements are the same. When Christ said, " I and my Father are one, " it was

like saying that atman and Paramatman are one. That is why in India we say,

" Atmanam viddhi " - " know thyself. "

 

 

The main problem is the conviction of the people about their faith and surrender

to Baba. The qualities,sacrifices and time needed for establishing closer

contact with a Sadguru cannot be done in the way we do in our ordinary life with

people around.

 

In a social relationship people generally have a limited approach

pre-calculating mutual benefit. Any deviation or non-fulfillment of

anticipated reaction from the other side spoils and stops such a relationship

easily. Today even in a family set-up, relationships in a large number of cases

are built on such a considerations. These

norms are changeable from society to society and from time to time.But when

these norms are applied in relation to the spiritual world or in relation to a

Sadguru, they become a non-starter from the

beginning.

 

Bhakti Marg at its highest point leads to `surrender'.Surrender means

giving-away our mind, body and soul to the deity or Sadguru. Having given, the

devotee is to realize that what ever happens to

his body, mind and soul is done by the Sadguru. Also,he has to use these three

for the work of the Sadguru.Since anything and everything happening to him is

done by the Sadguru, he has nothing

to be happy about, nothing to be sorry about, nothing to complain against and

nothing to desire - not only materially or mentally but also spiritually.

 

The state of actual surrender can be achieved by only a few among millions of

spiritual aspirants over a few lives and that too, with the help and kindness of

a Guru.

 

How many people, who say that they have surrendered to Baba fall in this

category? Baba was once sitting in Dwarakamayee Masjid relating about his

relationship with His Guru who had given Him severe tests. Baba was tied by His

legs and hung in a well for a few hours.

When the Guru on return asked him as to how he felt,Baba said that he felt fine.

He had nothing to complain about and was content with

what the Guru had done. In this context Baba asked the devotees sitting around

Him as to how many of them can be His disciples in the way in which He was a

disciple of His Guru. None had the courage to come up to that expectation.

 

Therefore simply to say, or show that one has surrendered is not good enough

because a man who has surrendered will have no desires and no complaints. He

would only follow the path laid down by Baba

expressed in two words i.e. Shradha (Faith) and Saburi (Patience).

 

Shradha - Means devotional faith

 

- faith that Baba is the almighty and Protector

 

- that both the good and the bad happening to the devotee's life are controlled

by Him

 

- to happily acknowledge and patiently tolerate all vicissitudes of life with

equanimity

 

- to realize that Baba is always with him, around him

 

- to be able to sacrifice anything and everything for the cause of the Master in

the manner prescribed by Him

 

- to follow His dictates in letter and spirit, whatever be the consequences

 

- to hold on to Baba exclusively and not to run to different deities / temples

for different purposes

 

Saburi - i.e. patience means following actions as mentioned before without

complaint, either external or mental and live normally everyday with faith in

Baba.

 

How many people can really do this? If not, one should think on the word

`surrender' continuously before considering himself to be a great devotee. It is

wiser to think of what we can do for Baba's

work instead of thinking what Baba can do for us.

 

To get perfect association with a Perfect Master, the person concerned must be a

perfect devotee. Baba used to say that a devotee will experience Him as per his

bhava means inner thought process. Imperfect minds will reflect an imperfect

image of the Sadguru and

the person will get imperfect results. It is not easy to achieve this state of

mind and it is also not correct to use the word surrender so easily without

understanding its full implications. The better path would be to develop the

qualities prescribed by the

Sadguru gradually living in the world like an ordinary man enjoying and

suffering happiness and unhappiness with the Guru in the heart. " …….
