Seventh Holy Saying

 

" It is my duty to look after the welfare of the

devotees who surrender and take refuge in me "

 

" Give me your mind, offer me your actions, think

always of me, surrender to me, have faith in me " .

 

" By all means, surrender yourself totally at the feet

of Almighty. By his grace you will obtain permanent

salvation. "

 

" Drop all your duties. Take refuge at my feet. I shall

liberate you from all sins. Do not worry, be happy " .

 

Sri Krishna in the last chapter of Bhagwad Gita

declared. So Sai Baba says the same in his seventh

holy saying.

 

We have to depend upon Baba for everything. The roots

of the plants depend upon water. What for? To live and

to grow well; Wicks have to depend upon oil. What for?

To be bright and to spread light; Breath depends upon

the air and oxygen. What for? To live and to give life

energy to the body; we depend upon discrimination.

What for? To know what is right and to do right;

Dependence upon Baba is good, right and is a must. It

is for our well being, it destroys all our sins. It is

auspicious. It gives peace and happiness. It is full

of bliss and prosperity.

 

See and enjoy, hear and be happy, the great story of

Baba's Leela. Kakaji Vaidya was a resident of Vani in

the district of Nasik .He was a priest in the temple

of Saptasringi. He was subjected to many problems,

ordeals and sufferings. He did not have mental peace.

He was always under stress and strain, anxiety and

tension, agony and anguish. Under such circumstances,

he went to the temple one evening and wept before the

deity to save him. His heart-rending cry was heard by

the Goddess. That night, she appeared to him in the

dream and said, " Go to Baba, you will get peace " . He

tried to ask the deity about Baba in the dream itself.

But before he could speak, he woke up from the dream.

He started thinking about Baba.

 

After a long contemplation, he thought that Baba might

be the great Trayambakeswara (Lord Shiva). Resolving

so, he proceeded immediately to Trayambakeswar. He

stayed there for ten days. Every day early in the

morning he woke up and took bath. He receited

'Rudram'. He performed 'abhisekam' and other rituals

of worship. In spite of all the devotional worship, he

continued to be without peace of mind. He returned to

his village and made his heart-rending cry once again

before his deity. Once again in the night, the goddess

appeared in his dream and told him, " Why did you

unnecessarily go to Trayambakeshwar? Baba means Shirdi

Sai Baba. Do you now understand what I say?

 

Vaidya now should go to Shirdi. How to go? When to go?

How to see Baba? He was a little worried about the

next course of action. If anybody decides to see a

yogi and sees a yogi, both the yogi and his God will

bless the devotee and fulfill his desire. Yogi and God

are one and the same. There is no difference between

them. Nobody can, by his will, see either a yogi or

God. It is not the devotee's will what is enough. But

the yogi and the God should also be willing to welcome

the devotee. Without their will and grace, devotee

cannot visit them. Nor can he see them. Without God's

will nothing will happen.

 

(to be contd….)
