SRINIVASAN PRESIDENT OF SRI SATHYA SAI ORG...LOVE: THE POWER OF ATTRACTION.

[Guest guest]

Love: the Power of Attraction This magnetic power of pure love is an unmistakable attribute of the purest of living beings on earth, Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. He points out that this ability to attract cannot be found in all. The ocean is vast and deep beyond measure. A tumbler of water taken from the ocean will have the same saline taste but it cannot possess its vastness. Individual human beings have the capacity to love according to the limitations of their past spiritual history and effort. For those who have caught glimpses of the vastness of Bhagavan Baba’s love, it is His purity of intent that makes His Love totally spontaneous and infinite.

Mr. V. Srinivasan, President of All India SSSO

 

 

A perfect instance of His spontaneity to Love wholehearted and rescue those in distress came through loud and clear just weeks ago when, at the peak of the Dasara festival, He asked, Mr. V. Srinivasan, the President of the Sri Sathya Sai Service Organizations of India to announce publicly His decision to undertake the Orissa Flood Relief and Rehabilitation Project. When the government authorities were busy pointing fingers, the raging waters had mercilessly washed away thousands of precious lives and homes, destroying families and dreams. The callousness of the authorities in handling the tragic situation moved the compassionate heart of Sai to intercede immediately. To deafening applause from the audience, the visibly moved Mr. Srinivasan spoke of Bhagavan Baba’s concern for the hundreds of thousands of victims in the seven affected districts of Orissa.

"The people of Orissa have been struck by floods and in about 7 districts, thousands have been rendered homeless. Swami's is immediately sanctioning 10 crores for their relief." Mr. V. Srinivasan continued to say how Swami directed that along with houses, primary schools too will be built by the Sai Organisation for the devastated villagers.

And these shelters, Swami said, will not be temporary; they would be permanent - not mere tents or wooden structures, but sturdy concrete homes. Then came another announcement from Swami through Mr. V. Srinivasan. “Swami would sell the hilltop building in Kodai Kanal and the Sri Sathya Sai Airport at Puttaparthi and utilize those funds for such service activities.”

Sai declares through the All India President immediate and concrete relief

 

As the speaker narrated the troubled conditions of Orissa which he ascertained during his recent trip, Swami seemed deeply moved. The Lord seemed to be shedding a tear, His heart was going out fully for His children. As the speaker went on, Swami called him and issued another command, "Right after Vijayadashami (final day of Dasara), you, Mr. Kondal Rao of the Andhra Pradesh Government and Mr. A. Ramakrishna, the former Vice President of Larsen & Toubro, leave for Orissa and make plans so that in two months time, those people have homes!" For the Lord, only the present moment exists. Right now, there is help needed and that will be rendered immediately, without any reserve. Financial estimates and practical difficulties are not to be given prominence when people are suffering, for everyone belongs to Him, and as He has said, "If you need me, you deserve me."

The only right way to describe Him - Love

 

 

He speaks to each one of His millions of devotees in the language of their choice, for even as a child, Bhagavan Baba declared that there is but only one language of universal communication, the language of the heart! His heart-to-heart hotlink that every single one of His millions of followers worldwide enjoys with Him requires no intermediaries; it is highly personalized and unique for each person concerned. Highlighting this fact, the All India President of the Sri Sathya Sai Service Organizations, Mr. V. Srinivasan, explained during a speech delivered on October 8, 2008, how Swami meant the world to every one who loves Him in their own special way. Commenting on this relationship, he defined it as being as diverse as that between a mother and her child, to that between friends! Love Enables Universal Communication

Truly, reams can be written about the myriad ways in which devotees relate to Bhagavan. While for some He is the Divine Father, in whom they find protection and guidance, a few look up to Him for the emotional succor and warmth that only a Divine Mother can provide. And then there are those who share an unrivaled camaraderie with the Divine, while a few others worship Bhagavan as verily God. In short, if there are a zillion devotees, there then are as many ways to relate to Him. Today, Bhagavan Baba’s life steeped in His practice of Love has unfolded before humanity as a perfect example of how the “L” factor alone can relieve the agony of a planet and its inhabitants. And His approach has been simple – touch each individual heart and overwhelm it with unconditional love. Love
