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.
