'Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi -A God!' by Bapatla Hanumanth Rao Garu

[Guest guest]

Once Dikshit said: "Baba! I am in a sordid, and helpless state to extend any

assistance to my brother". At that time Baba said: "I am in a position to

help him". Baba as a saint appeared   at Bandra and said to Dikshit's

brother: "I am in a position to help you". Baba's all pervasiveness is

manifest in several such instances

 

We should not be influenced by the magic spell of trickster and magicians.

Some perform certain tricks by their worship of evil forces and attain

satanical powers. We cannot call them God or God's Incarnations. The readers

may well note that the amazing miracles that Sri Sainath exhibited, are all

for the sake of helpin His children and devotees who are in distress. They

are not done for the sake of living, fame, wealth or achieving any other

material benefits. They are done without an iota of selfishness. Baba never

looked at the wonderful super natural powers, endowed to Him by the grace of

His Guru, for nearly 40 years. He chided people like Kusha Bhav, who cheated

the people by producing sweet fruits etc. He got their bracelets removed and

there by deprived them of their super natural powers.

 

There is no distinction between religions before Baba. He never taught any

one to change their religion. Baba sent one of his devotees, Appakulkarni,

to go to the place Nivas and worship Lord Siva. Shyama, a devotee, was asked

to serve Vani:- Megha was ordained to worship Khandoba (the incarnation of

Siva). Sai chided Nana Saheb Chandorkar for not offering his worship to Lord

Dattatreya during his journey to Shirdi. Baba's aim was to exhibit equality

to all irrespective of their way of devotion. A devotee of Sai is the one

seeking and drinking the divine nectar at the lotus feet of the Supreme

Guru.

 

Lord Sri Krishna says in Bhagavadgita thus: (9-11-13)

 

'Fools indulge in insulting Me without knowing My all pervasive nature in

this creation when I assume the form of a human being. Oh, Arjuna! All Noble

souls seek Me in the entire universe, worship Me in then minds, and keep

themselves aloof from all the worldly cares and anxieties". (Gita 9-11,13)

 

The sixteenth chapter of Bhagavadgita deals with all those who are blessed

by God and are m possession of divine wealth and those possessed by evil

powers. All people in the universe are divided into two categories: Fools

and noble men. An illiterate person cannot be considered as a fool.

Similarly, an educated person cannot be construed as a wise person. The

noble and wise have steadfast devotion towards the Almighty with a

philosophical and spiritual outlook. The people, devoid of such qualities,

are diametrically opposed to all good things in life and have only ill will

towards others. One can obtain the genuine wealth of education and

spiritualness with the grace of God only. Knowing the truth about God and

Godly Saints is the real education, which enables them to attain God. There

is no other alternative way to realize Him.
