Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 and laconic and lucid messages??! And may i suggest that too much emphasis on "May baba bless" ..."Be happy" ..etc. etc. is futile ..since all of us are basically BABA ENERGY ( the ONE Indivisible Universal Energy) itself !! Cheers! Ram RAM RAM Thank you & God bless.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 "Elizabeth Chilcote" <we2 Wed Feb 22, 2006 10:30am Re: [saibabanews] Just 1 Point Sai Ram, There are many paths to God. They all merge into one. One path is not better or worse than another, just different. Personally, being in a place without a Sai Center or any Sai devotees around, I find such "feeling" emails to be absolutely delightful and remind me of how I felt when in the presence of Baba. These emails help me to connect to the Sai family and, more importantly, to Baba. Meaningful discussions have their place as do the "feeling" or emotional descriptions. Certainly there is room for both. Cutting off one way of communicating about our spiritual lives would be doing a great disservice to many if not all. Peace and blessings, Elizabeth ---------- "Melody McClarty" <blngs2sai Wed Feb 22, 2006 10:39am Re: [saibabanews] Just 1 Point Sai Ram to all of my Sai brothers and sisters.... I read this post and felt very compelled to reply. Though ' in essence' the sentiments of this post are accurate. I feel personally .. that even if we become political correct in our posts .. we would most assuredly be missing one of Baba's greater lessons that he wishes that we all do continually on a daily basis .... And that is HIS mission through US to promote, foster, and be examples of community and to UPLIFT humanity. When one feels that it is beneath them to offer this kind of compassion and service .. then one needs to ask oneself WHY one is on the spiritual path .. what is your truest motive in your actions spiritually ....??? For betterment ?? For upliftment?? For following Baba's loving EXAMPLE in all things?? Or ego .....??? There is no greater service than to HELP those who are in need ... to keep everyones spirits to be uplifted ... to keep in view always humility towards our fellow man in thier times of need ... for what use is it to say that we are so spiritually advanced that we have no time or USE to do such a thing for someone ... No spiritual sadhana, discussion or satsang is of any value if it does not soften the hardened heart from ego and create compassion for all living things and all living beings ... What real success is there in our spiritual sadhana if we can turn our backs on others who may not be at the levels we are at ...?? How then are we to set an example for those who need it ?? Or how will we be open to learn from those who are higher on the spiritual ladders than ourselves if we are not open ...?? It is a very fine line when one wishes to censor anothers point of view .. spiritually or otherwise .. merely because we wish to not be bothered .... This my dearest sai brothers and sisters ... Is merely my humble opinion ... Be an example always is all that is needed ... Each soul is given distinction and uniqueness for a reason ... It is God's joy to express himself through others in many different ways .... Be yourself, follow your inner heart, walk your journey, live his teachings to be an example and God will take care of all else. Lots of Love always Your Sister in Sai Always Melody ---------- "James Coulbourne" <jfcoulbourne Wed Feb 22, 2006 10:27am RE: [saibabanews] Just 1 Point Perhaps there is a second point. Just as Swami's house has many mansions…..His school has many classrooms and levels, with none being higher than the other. His placement staff is the best…..namely the desires of the heart. Not every subject appeals to all at the same time and how graced we are to be able to enroll where we are spiritually, and rely on the inner teachings to grow. While time is indeed precious, it may be helpful to remember that God is time's Master, and all flow and dance within its structure are to His tempo and melody. Swami has said many times that patience and fortitude are all that mankind require for enlightenment. In my thoughts, that is the definition of acceptance of all things, including the postings here. Many times Swami has said that it is impossible for the human mind to know the mind of God, let alone the heart to heart communications between One and the other. Unity in diversity is the theme Swami has laid out, and to love His play as it leads us from judgementalism to acceptance. Indeed, there IS only ONE. Sai Ram ---------- vijay laxmi <ranawatvl65 Thu Feb 23, 2006 1:31am Re: [saibabanews] Just 1 Point Sairam ji ramji,, U r very much right, Let every body experess the way they want and u select out of this with whom u can intreact or of yr level. We all do not belong to the same level ( I am talking about the spritual level) sprituallity do not have any relation with our age or our educational degree, because some time i also post my exp. with detail, this may be very boring for all but if some one find the some sort of relief..... my purpose is solved. May be our exp. help some one to understand the life in a better way. Many times i received the very good response from the readers. Frankly speaking i enjoy reading the Darshan news the way everybody write with their feeling and the different exp. of the devotees i hardly enjoy reading the Bhagwan's discourse. Because bhagwan is bhagwan he can love everybody and he will be always there to help and show the right path to all of us. I am trying my best to follow his some of the teaching, but still i cannot love everybody and forget and forgive those who had hurted me. So ramji ,we all have the same destination but means of transport is diffrent. Most imp. is this that we all are part of Swami,s vanar sena (monkey Armyor foot soilder) and swami are taking care of us. let every body decide how truthfull they are towards their bhagwan through their small small action. sairamji ramji i do not have any intention to hurt anybody's feeling I hope u will forgive and forget me for my mistakes May god bless all of us Sairam Vijaya ranawatvl saibabanews, ram ji <ramramsairam wrote: > > Sai ram ... to all Mothers, brothers, sisters ..and Others!...

Thanks for puting my feelings in words. See, through E-mail media only I met you and found happiness that there is someone like me, BABA's devotee and thinks just like me.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 I wonder why the mothers and sisters and brothers ..and others ...can't value the precious time of readers and post short and crisp and laconic and lucid messages??! " Sh. Ramji (ramramsairam) My Views :- I agree in toto that , there are many paths to reach at one place, each suitable to each individual. But none of the path asks/expects from its follower to ARROGATE himself/herself to a level where he feels that his is the only right path and the other followers are wasting there time. As Baba says " Love all ,Serve All." Would like to comment to Sh. Ram ji's doubt - he has asked that "Does BABA need any trumpeting ??" Well I will say that Sh. Ramji is absolutely right - BABA (Bhagwan) does not need any trumpeting . But then WE, the mortal human beings - a bundle of both strengths and weaknesses do need them --- to carry on our duties and work in the right way --- to keep our morale and spirits --- to break the existing barriers and achieve the loftier goals ...... Have you ever wondered why BABA (Bhagwan) has been showing miracle to countless people on countless occassions ??? It is simply to instill and keep up our FAITH in that Higher Infinite Intelligence - that Cosmic Supreme Power. >From the last many days (I am a new member), I have been reading in mails about the recitation of GAYATRI MANTRA (particular times) at particular morning hour.....it will help making BABA getting more energy...... some one said he starting walking. I, personally feel (excuse me if I am wrong) Baba does not need this recitation at all for himself. BABA in his own manner wants us to do japa of GAYATRI MANTRA for our own benefit. That seems to be one of his Leelas. So in the light of above , I do not feel we are wasting our time in mundane petty things/discussion. Each should choose suitable to one but should respect others too..... That is the GIST,the WHOLE ESSENCE of BABA's teachings. NOW If ,Even one discouraged,disillusioned and disappointed person of this planet gets motivated and gets direction in life through the E-mails in which people are expressing emotions......then I would personally rate this discussion/E-mails as HIGHLY MEANINGFUL. Also, There is great power in WORDS. POSTIVE WORDS spread Positivity around------ If we say some one "BE HAPPY" then it certainly does good to both Receiver and Giver. Will like to take your leave Sh. RAMJI. Sorry for taking your precious time....could not be crisp. Om Sai Ram May God Keep On Blessing All Of Us.
