Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Thus Spake The Lord What exactly is the meaning of Sai Baba? Sai means Sahasrapadhma (thousand lotuses), Saakshaathkaara (Realization). Ayi means Mother and Baba means Father; it means He who is Father and Mother, and the Goal of all Yogic endeavor---the ever-merciful Mother, the All-wise Father and the Goal of spiritual efforts. When you are groping in a dark room, you must seize the chance when someone brings a lamp into the room. Hurriedly collect your belongings scattered there, or discover where they are located, or do whatever else you need. Similarly, make the best of this chance when the Lord has come in human form to your very door and get ready to save yourself from disaster. When the Lord appears in person, even then, doubt assails. It is of the very nature of things. I utter no meaningless word, I do no purposeless deed. I plan no significantless action. I never engage in unholy activities. I have nothing that I need. My joy consists in fulfilling your aims, in making you reach the goal. The one thing that I ask for is the Love-filled Heart. Believe; hold fast, without entangling yourselves in a mesh of empty explanations and imaginary arguments. That is the way to profit. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. II, P. 6.
