Passport - Worldly and spiritual

January 11, 2010

Sai Ram brother Ranganatha ,

Great analogy - I think we all need spiritual passport but only He can issue this passport.

He already gave passport to Dr Gadhia to be with Him when He will come back as Prema Sai Avatar in Mysore .

If I am re born I want Him to be with me always - I want to be close to Bhagawan when He will come as Prema Sai.

Jai Sai Ram

AUM SAI RAM

Dear Saibandhus,

Humble prostrations at the Lotus Feet of Bhagavan.

Sai Ram.

Just yesterday day i had accompanied my daughter to passport office for submitting an application of her. Three or four persons were ahead of me for handing over their forms, hence we sat there and waited for our turn. While sitting idle a curious thought came to my mind as below.

So much effort we are putting to obtain a worldly passport. And what effort are we putting for the spiritual passport. Following series of thoughts happened in me.

1). What is a passport for? 2). What are the documents to be attached along with the passport form and What details to be furnished. 3) What role a concerned officer has etc. etc.

I tried to answer myself with relation to spirituality. The outcome fascinated me as i never imagined so earlier. i just want to share this with my dear Saibandhus.

1). A passport is an essential document to be possessed for travelling away from my country to a foreign country.

- Likewise a spiritual passport is a must to travel away from my mundane world to a place where God dwells.

Following copies of documents are required to attach with the application.

2)a. Documentary proofs for my date of birth and age ( available from school leaving certificate ),

-- In spiritual aspect my ( jeevatma) date of birth is unknown, this be the case how can i know my real age. Real age is unknown and i can say that it may be at least several hundred millions of years; it was the time when God got separated Himself from Himself to become me along with uncountable number of jeevis

b. Qualification (under graduate/graduate certificate, etc.). i can easily attach copies of my worldly qualification.

---In spiritual parlance, qualification starts from learning the eight limbs of Ashtanga yoga, each yoga pertains to different standards(classes) ; that is yama,niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana and samadhi. How do I know which standard i have passed? Therefore, Which degree can i mention?

c. Temporary and Permanent residential address,( the presently residing address and the address since residing from birth, i.e. parents address ). This details i can furnish with ease.

-spiritual parlance, my present address is as same as mundane address. But my permanent address is God's dwelling place. Which one can i write? Vaikunta, Kailasa or my "Spiritual Heart".!!!

d. Reference from two known people confirming my acquaintance and antecedents. -- Any well known people's address of my neighbour could be furnished, upon getting their verbal consent.

----- Spiritually, who would confirm my acquaintance and antecedents. Only these two, One is my Guru and second is Sadguru. Would any one or both of them confirm?

3). There are a few officials involved in processing the application. Primarily a police enquiry to investigate if i have any criminal cases against me. After issuing clean chit from police only my application will further be processed.

- In terms of spirituality, i think, the investigating officers are Chitragupta who maintains my records since time unknown to me and Yamadharmaraja, the God of Justice. Whether they would give me clean chit. How to know? Surely there is no RTI act applicable in Yamaloka.

Obtaining worldly passport can be easy, provided one's record is clean and obtaining worldly passport if the records are bad is impossible. However, obtaining spiritual passport irrespective of bad or good records might not appear to be too difficult, only because the Governing Authority for issuing Spiritual Passports and Visa our Loving Bhagavan has taken Avatar in this kali age on a Mission to very compassionately and liberally issue the Spiritual Passports and Visas to all who crave for it. However, if the worldly record is bad, I can't hope to get a passport. Whereas, in spirituality even if my records are bad, still i can hope and be assured that by praying Swami Intensely and fully surrendering at His Lotus Feet, Swami will consider my prayer for Spiritual Passport and Visa to my Real Place very favourably.

i really Hope and Pray the All Merciful Bhagavan to very kindly issue me Spiritual Passport and Visa to my Real Dwelling place, that is in HIM.

Sai Ram.

Humble prayers at the Lotus Feet of Bhagavan.

Sai Ram.

Loving Sai hearts

Re messages from Rao and Soumendra

Spiritual passport? This reminded me of this word, "password" mentioned by Sai Baba in interview room in mid 1990s. Sai Baba questioned a lady, who was one of our group team of 11. "Where is your passport?" She was unable to answer because she did not understand what Sai Baba meant. None of us understood, either. I know Sai Baba meant spiritual passport so I secretly hoped that I had a passport. After few years we never saw her again.

After few days we were called again, one of us asked Sai Baba for permission if we (11) could have orange robes made and have Him to bless them before we could take them home. His answer was, "No no no, I will give you all robes and one white robe". I questioned myself, who will have the white robe. Then I presume Sai Baba Prema may be one who will wear white robe.

Namaste
