Accepting Sai Baba as Guru

[Guest guest]

Baba also was not for changing Gurus. He always checked to see what type of

disciple he was and under what circumstances he had left his previous Guru and

come to him. There are a number of disciples who would worship a particular

Guru or God for some time and if they did not gain anything, they would change

their Gurus or Gods. They would run to the Guru or God who fulfilled their

wishes. Such persons are after material benefits and not spiritual advancement,

being without faith and patience. When they came to Baba, he would tell them,

"What is required for you is not another Guru. If you cannot have undeterred

devotion and gratitude towards your Guru, but come to me, no useful purpose

will be served and you cannot benefit anything. Therefore, first of all you

should learn how to serve your own Guru in the correct manner and do not keep

changing your Guru." To those who approached Shirdi Sai Baba and saw his

greatness personally, and were unable to surrender themselves

completely, our appeal to them: "Previously there was no Guru equal to Sai Baba.

In future also we cannot get such a Guru. Let us prostrate to this Satchidananda

Samartha Sadguru, and request him to make us understand this true Avatar, before

we complete the Parayana of his Life History. We will also pray to him to see

that we have abundant devotion for him with his devotion lasting our lifetime.

When the life goes out of our body our kith and kin and material things do not

come with us. We also pray to Sai to be with us in our solitary journey and to

give us moksha or higher form of life in the next birth and be with us in all

the future births.

May the Merciful Sri Sai Baba always shower His grace on us and our families and

remove our problems and anxieties by giving us all - strength , goodluck,

success and happiness with peace of mind.Sai bhakt,Deepa Hdebu7366
