Meaning of Shraddha & Saburi

[Guest guest]

trust is generated out of conviction, which may not be the result of any

rational belief or intellectual wisdom, but a spiritual inspiration. Baba

sowed the seeds of spiritual inspiration in the hearts of people who knew of

him. This Divine inspiration was so instant and profound that they

automatically took refuge in Him. Baba reiterated that steadfast love in God as

the gateway to eternity. He used the instance of mother tortoise to illustrate

this point. The mother - tortoise may be on the other side of the river,

whereas her children are on the far side. She does not transfer food and water

to her children by way of her loving glances. Yet, her loving looks are enough

to protect the children. Similarly, people who lovingly look at God get His

reciprocity. God's looks offer peace, protection and prosperity for His

children. Baba's teaching, both direct and indirect explicate

the significance of 'Shraddha'. Baba reiterates the spiritual guidance of Shri

Krishna to Arjun - "Who-so ever offer to Me with love or devotion, a leaf, a

flower, a fruit or water, that offering of pure love is readily accepted by

Me". Saburi 'Saburi'; is patience and perseverance. Saburi is a quality needed

throughout the path to reach the goal. This quality must be ingrained in a

seeker from day one, least he looses his stride and leaves the path half way.

As a hunter waits patiently and motionlessly for his target a devotee too has

to wait patiently for attaining his goal. There are many trying situations in

life. A test may come in the form of frustration, distress, agony, illness,

mishaps, prolonged wait or a loss. In such moments we should seek support from

the Master and hold on him.
