Sai lives on

Status
Not open for further replies.
Dear Renuka, I am a new comer to this forum and joined only today.I am also a devotee of Bhagavan Sai.Of course I understand the pangs of your loving heart for Sai.But it is strange that a devotee of over 3 decades still do not know the elementary principle of Creation that whatever is born in this world whether human beings,animals,plants etc have to leave their forms one day.All avatars and eversomany great souls have met the same fate only.The principle is what is in macrocasm it is in microcasm.So Sai is considered to be a macrocosmic Being and we all mortals are microcosmic ones.So what is in Sai is within everyone of us also.This evidently we forget and give value only for the image.It is a clear misconception of philosophy.Ultimately the individual soul has to merge into the Universal soul and there is no question of individuality arises at that point.This may take several births as the process of evolution is slow.So you must understand this and always think that Sai is within you only as He can't be outside your mind.That is only an illusion which you create for yourself becoz of your extreme attachment to HIM.So be confident and try to find Him within you and that is the way to develop faith and devotion and not seeing something outside your mind.Then you may be able to get the answer if you are fortunate.All the wishes.


Dear sir,

I guess you read my poems written when I felt "lost" that Baba had left His mortal coil.Yes it is strange that even though I have been a follower of Baba since the age of 8 and read lots of books on religion,scriptures etc I still felt lost.
If you read that poem carefully you will understand that I was thinking out aloud that "Dear Baba why when I know the principles yet I feel this way"
It was self enquiry and soul searching for answers within.I can be quite dramatic in my poems and may be you mistook it as being unaware of the situation.

Technically we all know the principles of Creation that what ever born needs to die and the cycle goes on and no one is exempted including Avatars.

But even though everyone of us know this we still shed tears when a near and dear one dies.
A son even though an adult will cry for his mother when she dies and a wife will still cry when her husband dies.

That's the strange part of life..we technically have read about the Truth but yet we commit the Crime of Attachment.
That I can only say is the web of Maya that I have yet not overcome.

So till then I can feel happy and I can also feel sorrow,I can also feel attachment and detachment till the day I can realize Tat Tvam Asi(God knows how many lives more I have to go through to reach that state..but I am in no hurry either)

Thank you very much sir for your lovely post.

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I ask you to fix your mind on any Name that brings up into your consciousness the glory and grace of the Lord. Also train your hands to do acts that serve the Lord Who is shining in every being. All men and women are Him. He shaves as the barber, makes clay as the potter, and washes, starches and irons clothes as the washerman. Know that He prompts, He inspires, He devises and He fulfils. Play your role as a puppet does; the unseen Director will unfold the drama that He has already willed. You take a sheet of paper on which My Form, as I am now, is printed; you fall to the ground before it as an act of reverence. Why cannot you then, revere all human beings, believing that I am in each of them, in an even clearer form?[/FONT]

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]To get joy and peace, you must develop a pure mind, unsullied by egoism and its children - lust, greed, envy, anger, hatred and the rest. This will be easy when you seek satsanga (good company) and perform good deeds, entertain noble thoughts and read inspiring books. More important than all of these is to put into practise, at least one good thought. If you don’t practise, the blemishes in the mirror of your heart will not be wiped off and the Lord cannot be reflected therein. Constant practise with full faith will transmute nara (human) to Narayana (Divinity), for you are in essence Divine.[/FONT]

I think it is perfectly reasonable to have some attachment as long as you are not a complete sannyasi who has renounced the world. Why should we not be attached to our near and dear ones such as children, parents, spouse, guru, friends etc.? Disclaiming all attachments is only for the select few - for everybody else garhastha is recommended. Not feeling sad for the loss of a dear one, makes one less of a human I feel.

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In spiritual matters, faith is the very essence. Have faith in the wisdom of the ancients - do not pitch your tiny and little brain against the institutions of saints and their discoveries. For example, people question the ritual of offering food in the fire, on the death anniversary of one’s parents. They scorn and mock, "How can the food placed here reach wherever they are?", "Why are the dead given food, when the living starve?" they argue. You post a letter in the box, it goes straight to the addressee, is it not? If the address is written correctly and clearly, and if the necessary postage is paid in valid stamps, the letter is carried in bus, air, train or by people right upto the doorstep of the person and delivered. The ritual fire is the authorized post box, fire is the postal authority, manthras are the stamps. There is a science of the spirit, as there is a science of matter; it has its own modus operandi; its own experts and authoritative theses. Only bysadhana can the secrets of either matter or mind be known, grasped and used for one's benefit.[/FONT]

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The desires that cling to the mind are the blemishes that tarnish one’s inner consciousness. Control the senses; do not yield to their insistent demands for satisfaction. When a corpse is placed on a pyre, and the fire is lit, both the corpse and the pyre are reduced to ashes. So too when the senses are negated, the mind too disappears. When the mind disappears, delusion dies and liberation is achieved. Faith in God is the best reinforcement for spiritual victory. When you revel in the contemplation of the splendour of the Lord, nothing material can attract you; all else will seem inferior and the company of the Godly and the humble alone will be relished. The Spirit can only be awakened and realized through individual discipline, and the Grace of God. These two can be won through love, purity and service to others.[/FONT]

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Being blessed with the human form, you must strive to grow beyond the physical, mental and emotional bounds. With the help of the discriminating intellect, you must bring it to perfection, just like what a sculptor does to a crude stone. Be aware of your kinship with God; of the Divinity latent in you; of the immense potentiality within you. This can be attained by the exercise of discrimination and dispassion (Viveka and Vairaagya). No living form other than the human being is capable of this exercise. When you earnestly aspire, the Lord Himself will guide you from within through illumination, or through someone He will send. Do not despair in this journey; march bravely. Fill every moment with thoughts of God, in some form or other.[/FONT]

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Casting off the body is akin to shifting from one house occupied for some years to another. The act of shifting a home is physical, it does not affect you. So too births and deaths do not affect the eternal Paramatma (supreme soul) present within you. To escape this cycle of being born again and again, ‘Pranava’ (chanting of Aum) is a potent instrument. All the long years of life should be utilised for this final moment of consummation. Your mind should be fixed on Pranava when the body is being cast off. You belch the flavour of the food you have partaken; your last thought indicates the food you have fed on. YourSadgathi (progress) is in accordance with your Sadhana(practice). Hence be aware of the need to fix your mind on holy thoughts when the body is got rid of. And this is possible when you im merse yourself in holy thought every moment, and practice it incessantly.[/FONT]

I am not getting the meaningful divine teachings in my email these days; is there any particular reason? I generally

Dear sir,

Sometimes if you do not log in to forum regularly not all post will automatically come to our email.
I log in here to this thread daily.
Yesterday I only logged in late cos I had to attend a real long medical talk.
But without fail I still post here daily.

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]It is good to attend discourses on the Geetha by learned scholars. However this is of no use if you lean on a pillar in the lecture hall and doze off. That is to say, it is not the sound, but the meaning that matters. It is not the ear, but the heart that must drink the nectar of Geetha and imbibe its essence. Seek and enjoy noble company (Sathsangam); but along with that, there also needs to be self-examination. Examine yourself to see how much you have succeeded in escaping from the senses, and getting close to God. The mind is like a wild elephant which can be tamed by the repetition of the Lord’s name. Do not feed it with conceit, envy, hatred and greed. Let the name of the Lord echo ever in the ear.[/FONT]

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The second is the very basic unit of Time which we measure, in what we designate as a year. Sixty seconds, make a minute, sixty minutes make an hour, twenty four hours constitute a day and thirty days make a month; twelve months pass and we say a year has passed! When twelve months are over, we come back again to the first in the list of months, and call it the New Year Day. We go on a spree to celebrate the occasion. Really speaking, nothing new has happened on the “New Year Day” - it is not the year, but every second that follows the present that is new. Hence, do not wait for the celebration of something new in Time, until minutes, hours, days, months and years add up! Celebrate the immediately succeeding second, and every one after it, through honest effort and attain everlasting joy. Do not waver in your determination to live in joy and peace.[/FONT]

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In the Geetha, Krishna said to Arjuna, "You are able to use the weapons of offence and defence in the battle and win because you were taught the art of handling them over many years from childhood, is it not? Could you have used them with confidence, without preparation, on the spur of the moment? Similarly, whatever else one may not meet during life, one is certain to meet with death. So all must be trained to have at that time, the attitude and thought that are most beneficial to them. Will it not be wise, therefore, to strive for the end, in your own best interest? Hence, take earnest steps to secure the thought of God, from early on. Whoever in the last moment of life, thinks of Me, attains Me.” Through the discipline of constant practice, avoid other thoughts and concentrate on the Lord alone. This is a certain way to reach God.[/FONT]

[TD]To earn the Grace of God, you have to pray to the Personified Power with Name and Form; it is your yearning that decides in what form the Lord appears. You call and He answers. If you are not earnest, if you feel indifferent, and say, “Let Him come when He wills, in the Form He likes and with the Name He prefers." He will not come at all. Call on Him with anguish; He will respond.
In Rajasthan, there was a priest who worshipped the image of Balakrishna installed in the temple, attached to the palace of Udaipur. His name was Devesa. His story may not be found anywhere but since he was intimately connected with Me, I know him very well. Every night he used to "put Balakrishna to sleep" with appropriate ritual and close the door of the shrine; but, before he came out, he would take from the head of the Image, the mallika garland he had placed there in the evening and wear it himself, before proceeding home. Of course, on those days on which the Maharana visited the temple, the garland had to be given to him, for wear.
One day, however, the Maharana came immediately after the priest had worn it inside his tuft of hair; so, when the Ruler demanded the flower, he had to get inside the shrine and, slyly remove it from his tuft, hand it reverentially back to him. The Maharana was happy that he had not missed the gift; but, was shocked to find in it a strand of gray hair! Suspecting some trick, he shouted angrily. "What! has our Balakrishna grown old and gray?" The priest, to save his skin, said "Yes." The Maharana replied. "Well, I shall not disturb Him now; but, early tomorrow, I shall come and see if His hair has really gone gray."
Devesa had no food or sleep that night. He wept his eyes out in agony, for, he had in his fear, imposed old age and grayness on the ever-youthful Lord. Morning came and the Maharana hurried to the temple to open the shrine. They both looked in and, lo, the hair was gray. The King suspected that the hair was false, planted by the priest. So he pulled and tugged at it, only to find drops of blood at the roots. God had responded to the anguished cry, the call of agony. The Formless will assume any form and undergo any transformation to satisfy the yearning of the devoted aspirant. The overriding purpose is to make all Karma-jivis, Brahma-jivis.

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]It is want of faith that causes one to lose temper and fly into fits of anger; it is lack of faith in oneself and in others. If you really see yourself as the undefeatable Self (Atma) and others as reflections of yourself, as scriptures declare them to be, there can be no provocation to get angry. What you must resolve today, is to manifest your inherent Divinity more and more. Whatever else you may or may not do, do at least this: know the Lord that resides in you. Recognise Him, let Him manifest Himself in and through you. Fundamentally the fault lies in not understanding that this body and all things connected with it are impermanent.[/FONT]

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Learn to acquire bliss and peace in your life by studying the scriptures, or from sages who have won them. Stick to the path assiduously, even if you received sharp criticism or callous condemnation. Never let cynical laughter or comments bother you; they can never harm a spiritual aspirant. Can a storm shake the Himalayan range? Let not your faith in the goal or the path, quake before trouble or trial, toil or travail, distress or despair. These are but passing clouds, casting temporary shadows, hiding for a little while, the glory of the sun or the moon. Do not get distracted by doubt or despondency. Build the mansion of your life on four firm pillars – virtue, wealth, desire and liberation (Dharma, Artha, Kama,Moksha) as laid down by the ancient sages, each pillar bound strong and safe with every other. Never allow these pillars to slant or tumble as some individuals, communities or nations are doing now.[/FONT]

Generally people, owing to their busy activities, often place "praying or worshiping part"
on the bottom of their activity list except in times of emergency or real need arises to
wipe out their tears or sorrows. If one has mental concentration and dedication, he/she
can share with HIM anything that comes to their mind and make an absolute surrender to
HIM through dedicated prayer. If a person practice, it eventually automatically turns
into a habit and in the long run, one will find it very easy to do prayer everyday and will
get closer to God. As Baba says, one should do prayer daily to think of God. If not possible
four times, one at least should twice a day. Life is certain to meet with death and the prayer
is the insurance for us to get relief from our past ill deeds, if any.

The ego forms part of a central part around which other activities are grouped
or collated in a conscious mind at times. Though ego is unhealthy, ego needs to
be understood properly and clearly and appropriately disciplined to keep that out
when we we are absolutely conscious of it. One can have spiritual ego though
strictly incorrect. To be very precise, ego should be destroyed or held in check.
No doubt ego creates evil acts. This must be completely rooted out, so that one
can certainly realize one's true spiritual nature, if one concentrates on the
spiritual activities. One should be concerned with the purity of the heart and
devotion to God. Only inner things are important and not the outer. As Baba
says, if one analyse or examine or do self-examination, ego can be completely
eliminated.

The barber should not treat all things equal and use his razor to peel vegetables, cut pencils and paper, bamboos and beards alike.

But make sure your activities leave no scar on your faith in Unity. Though in principle all is Brahmam, in dealing with them in day-to-day activity, you cannot follow the non-dual approach.

As Baba says, we must first understand that this body and all things
related with it are impermanent. God may be in different form but yet
HE is one who creates all of us. One should secure the thought of God
from early on that we are all HIS children. Everyone is equal in the eyes
of God, though one is rich or poor, black or white, etc. No matter of their
colour, religion, way of living, etc. As everyone is created by God equal,
attention cannot be easily divided between people like physical matters.
We must do good to others and help the poor people whatever possible
by us. The Service to Mankind is Service to God.

One has to always aim at complete harmony of thought, word and deed. Our
thoughts, words and action should not have any conflict. If we purify our
thought, everything will go well in our life. If one's thoughts are not in unison
with his/her words and deeds, then the strength of our existence slowly
diminishes and one cannot achieve perfection. If one is able to blend all the
three, it results in increased creativity and peace. As Baba says, one has to
promote unity through harmonious living and share the joy with one and all.

if you do your duty with honest ,if you show your love to all,if you thing that what ever given by HIM to be shared ,there is no need for separate prayer.i think prayer is like thanks giving which HE never expect from us.

I totally agree with you Sir. Yet, I would like to submit the following. No matter
what we normally eat in our daily routine. May be, white milk, white curd, green
vegetables, etc. All turns into the same red colour blood, who does that. HE who
makes us to get that, thus we should be grateful to HIM. Without blood, one
cannot survive. Trikal Sandhayavandanam is also equal to Thanksgiving to HIM.
At bed times, HE who bestows the peace of mind, that make sleep possible for us.
Upon waking up in the dawn/morning, HE who restores us our memory and thoughts
over which we have no or absolute control when we are sleeping. Thus, it is
nothing but HIS blessings that we are able to live peacefully. In order to continue
to live peacefully and thank HIM, we need a prayer or chanting of HIS Nama without
fail.
