SHRI SAI BABA'S GRACE (December 1975)

 

Our land, 'Bharath' has been the seat of Bhakthi from time immemorial. The

Puranas, Vedas and all scriptures speak of the Almighty descending to Earth

and appearing in different forms and names-only in Bharath and not

elsewhere. The question 'why’ arises in every mind. The answer is

India-Bharath is known as Yoga Bhoomi, Karma Bhoomi and other parts of the

world are known as Bhoga Bhoomi. That is why even in this atomic age, when

man has landed on the moon, we see so many foreigners who are affluent and

who rather suffer from plenty in every aspect of life come to our land in

search of that one thing which is not available elsewhere and which cannot

be purchased for all the money in the world What is that thing sought for by

every-one-the rich and the poor alike ? It is Mental peace. How could our

land alone offer it for nothing ? Simple-any human being seeks God only in

distress and when every effort has failed, he looks up in despair and tries

to communicate with the Almighty all his suffering. One should not rush to

conclude that our land is a place of distress and nothing else Human nature

being what it is, God is sought after when one is helpless and God showers

all His blessings not immediately. He knows when to give, what and in what

measure, through whom and how to make the man feel that it was only through

God's Grace that he was relieved of his suffering and to be relieved of all

his sufferings he should invoke the blessings of the Almighty for ever-till

the end of his life. 'Through whom' is the most important factor here,

because to get at anything, there should be three parties The giver, the

receiver and the mediator. Even for mundane things like getting a travel

ticket, there have to be three persons involved-the traveller, the travel

organisation and the mediator is the travel agent or the booking clerk. The

travel organisation-the Railways, Airways or the Shippers do not issue the

ticket straight to the traveller. There are appointed agents to issue

tickets to the travellers and these agents would render every help and

guidance to the intending traveller to make his travel comfortable and

enjoyable and to reach his destination happily.
