Message of the week - December 27, 2007

[Guest guest]

Sairam,

 

Happy BABA day to all. Pray BABA guides us and fulfills all our wishes

and guides us always.

 

Here is the message of the week - last message of the year. Let us

all trust HIM and leave everything at HIS lotus feet. What ever

questions/doubts we have let us pray to HIM, leave it to HIM and HE

will definitely solve all the riddles of life. Also let us read

chapter 20, which teaches us to be content with whatever we have and

be happy and cheerful all the time - taking everything as HIS

wonderful gift.

 

 

From the brief description given above about this Upanishad, any one

can see how difficult it is to translate this Upanishad in a

vernacular language, and brief out its exact meaning. Das Ganu

translated it in Marathi 'Ovi' metre, verse by verse, but as he did

not comprehend the gist or essence of the Upanishad, he was not

satisfied with his performance. He therefore consulted some learned

men regarding his doubts and difficulties and discussed with them at

great length. They did not solve them nor did they give him any

rational and satisfactory explanation. So Das Ganu was a little

restless over this matter.

 

SadGuru only competent and Qualified to Explain

 

As we have seen, this Upanishad is the quintessence of the Vedas. It

is the science of self-realization, it is the scythe or weapon which

can rend asunder the bondage of life and death, and make us free.

Therefore, he thought, that he who has himself attained

self-realization, can only give him the true or correct interpretation

of the Upanishad. When nobody could satisfy Das Ganu, he resolved to

consult Sai Baba about this. When he got an opportunity to go to

Shirdi, he saw Sai Baba, prostrated himself before Him, and mentioned

his difficulties about the Ishavasya Upanishad and requested Him to

give the correct solution. Sai Baba, blessed him and said- " You need

not be anxious, there is no difficulty about the matter, the

mind-servant of Kaka (Kakasaheb Dixit) will solve your doubts at Vile

Parle, on your way home " . The people who went present then and heard

this, thought that Baba was joking and said, " How could an illiterate

maid-servant solve the difficulties of this nature " , but Das Garu

thought otherwise. He was sure, that whatever Baba spoke, must come

true, Baba's word was the decree of the Brahma (Almighty).

 

Prayer to BABA

BABA thank you for the wonderful year, guide us in the right path and

bless us in all our efforts. Let us always remember your holy feet

and keep chanting your wonderful name each and every day of this

coming year.

 

Wishing you all a Happy New Year 2008 !!!

 

Humbly Yours, Sairam
