Mystery of Mysteries and Super Saint - Sadguru Sai Nath

[Guest guest]

By these sadhanas the aspirants benefit in two ways. While they progress

spiritually, they also add to their store of good karma (punya) and at the

same time they are enabled by Sai Baba to pay our other Karmic debts. Here

Sai Baba saves them from having to reincarnate so often in the future. This

He does by intensifying their sufferings in the present life itself. We see

some ardent devotees exposed to enormous suffering. He has done this in the

case of Dr Pillai of Nagpore, Abdulla Bhai, Mhalsapati and Upasani Maharaj.

 

Even good Karma is regarded as golden fetters if the Karma is done with the

consciousness that one is the doer. In the declaration "I do this service

in the name of my Master" there is a ring of Rajas".

 

This may lead reincarnation with chances of betrayal to indulge in pride and

hurting others' sentiments. But it is hard to get over this tendency.

Nothing sort of absolute self-denial and surrender to Sai Baba can help in

destroying this feelings.

 

Then by the grace of the Master the aspirant realizes that his Lord is the

doer and he is only an instrument. This is the greatest upadesha of

Bhagwan to Arjuna. "Nimitya matram bhava, Sabyachi". (Be thou the

instrument).

 

Selfless work can alone help us in receiving the grace of the Master.

Distributing food, medicines, clothes or affording shelter to the poor,

giving emotional comfort as: listening to the words of the distressed, the

bereaved or the convalescent, diverting the careworn by music or fine arts

or entertainment's, helping is studies and above all, disseminating

spiritual culture.
