DAKSHINA AND SAI

 

In Sai Satcharitra, we come across many instances when

Baba insisted that a devotee pay Dakshina that he had

either committed in their mind or as desired by Him.

He never took a morsel less or more from them. He did

not save any of this for His own personal use; it was

immediately distributed.

 

Now, we do the same thing through Sansthan – the times

have changed and the value of money has changed

relative to what it was in Baba’s times. Affordability

is a question of individual capacity. Baba will still

get His Dakshina, come what may.

 

Some may say that we should not bargain with God; He

knows what is good for us and what is not; then why

should anyone pray that he would pay this much if

something good, as desired, befalls him?

 

Here comes the equation between a Living God, like our

Baba and us. Whom shall we approach if we need help?

Someone in whom we have faith and confidence who will

never send us back empty handed. He is our Baba. If

that be so, are not we bound to repay something as

“thanksgiving” to a close friend of ours. That Thanks

Giving is our Dakshina. What is He going to do with

this? He is going to distribute it to the needy, now

through the sansthan, and thus help others from the

Dakshina He got from us.

 

This is not a business deal with our Baba. No one can

do business with Him. It is our gratitude and our

innermost desire to alleviate the suffering of the

have-nots. We do it through Dakshina. We not only get

what we want in this process but also abundant love

and blessings from our Lord Sai from His Immortal

State.
