Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 CHAPTER - VIII SAI-THE SUPREME SAINT Saints and sages using their mission in this world have tried to enlighten the human mind through their precious preachings. It is interesting to note that these preachings last forever, as their validity is worth one's own life. Being a country blessed with great saints, India has been praised for its spiritual strength by the entire world. As an incarnation of LORD DATTATREYA, during His mission, Sai Baba has spread the religion of love, compassion and endurance. Some of its preachings, which have been cited in the present context, reflect the same. When we consider the significance of "Dakshina", Baba asked for two rupees, >From this one would easily mistake this for monetary values, But, Baba actually meant FAITH and PATIENCE. It is evident that undaunted faith helps mankind to be relived of all problems. This term Faith as used by Baba, reflects in the saying of Ramakrishna Paramahansa, who said, "Faith is life and doubt is death". The term patience has universal application. Here again, the present day saying goes 'patience pays'. This is true, because one would be easily carried away when confronted by troubles. It’s at that time patience would be required. Keeping undaunted faith in Baba, and developing the trait of patience helps us to live in peace. When one goes through the assurance given by Baba, "Remember me, believe in me, heart and soul and then you will be most benefited!" It shows the concern of Baba for mankind. Again Baba assured that if one tried to go near Him by one foot, He would advance towards the devotee by ten feet. This signifies the fact, that every humble attempt by devotees to reach the fold of Baba would be blessed in multiples by Him. (To be contd....)
