Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 …… " Sadgurus like Shri Shirdi Sai Baba, operate simultaneously at two levels of consciousness. Some of their activities are manifested and some are non-manifested in nature. Some examples of the manifested activities are: feeding the poor and the devotees, curing their physical and mental diseases, rendering temporal assistance in all their material needs and religious pursuits etc. The manner in which He gave relief was sometimes miraculous. Hundreds of families of Shirdi and outside used to depend on Him for relief and sustenance in their worldly existence. Sai Baba never refused to help any one who came to Him. He laboured day in and day out to solve the complex problems of His devotees. Once He told a devotee that He (Baba) could not sleep during the previous night as He was thinking about that devotee. " What would happen to my people, if I constantly do not keep an eye on them " He used to say. This was the role of a Provider and Protector. However, the other role of Shri Sai was subtle and secret in nature, which created a permanent value in the lives of the people that approached Him. Shri Shirdi Sai Baba was a Perfect Master or a Sadguru. Being a Sadguru His divine charter of duties was to train the devotees with a view to evolve their mental and emotional qualities and ultimately to lead them towards emancipation. Such a process of evolution, when left to the disciple himself, is very slow and may take a number of lives to achieve. As ordained by the law of nature, every human being evolves during each life cycle while on the earth plane by experiencing an un-calculable number of events generating pleasure or pain. Without, the help of a Master or Sadguru who has traveled along and experienced the path of spiritual evolution, the seeker goes through a process of trials and errors and in the process his evolution slows down. However, if one accepts a Sadguru as his mentor, and strictly abides by His advice, his evolution becomes easier and faster. The Sadguru with His divine powers and qualities has immense capabilities to hasten the process of evolution of all beings that come in contact with Him. Therefore, He is called a Samarth (capable of giving God realisation) Sadguru. However, notwithstanding the ceaseless effort of the Masters all devotees do not progress spiritually at an equal pace. The pace of evolution of a devotee depends on a few prime factors, like, acceptance of the Master-both intellectually and emotionally, as the sole guide and Protector in the spiritual journey, complete faith in and adherence to the advice and commands of the Master and finally a lot of perseverance under all trying circumstances and over long periods of time to follow the Master's prescriptions in its true spirit.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Sai Ram. Why Moksha is an ultimate goal for any soul? What happens after Moksha attained? Life cycle keeps going birth, death, birth death on and on....and if one does not remember the past life, how and why the new born will come to know what way one has to improve spiritually? BABA does not impose any rituals to follow than why some people who follow certain rituals like lighting a Diya at morning and evening scorn who do not follow such rituals? I would be happy if some one clarifies these questions on my mind. Jai Sai Ram.
