LORD SAIBABA'S SAYINGS AND TEACHINGS

 

THE GOAL OF LIFE, THE GOAL OF KNOWLEDGE: WHAT IS IT

 

This is one of the problems discussed by intellectual workers on purely

rationalistic lines. Tiruvalluvar, the author of 'Thirukkural', says

that it is only true knowledge, which enables you to see the reality behind

the final outward forms of things, which means the truth, which remains

after the analysis of the entire Triad, namely, Self, World, and God; that

is Brahman. We need not enter into questions of Dvaita or Advaita, though

there are people, who way that to deny the separate existence of a human

soul, is to commit suicide, that on ultimate analysis two things remain

namely, the self undistorted and God, whom the self reaches. There are

also many other divergent views. The ultimate truth is complex and not

capable of a simple statement and thus the intellect also go on

contradicting and fighting, How does Baba deal with devotees, when they are

faced with this problem

 

Chandorkar and other graduates, who had studied philosophy, Sankara’s

commentary on the Gita, and other works, were confronted with these

problems, and sometimes they discussed these at the Wada at Shirdi. Baba

did not profess to be a University professor offering solutions for problems

to be published to the world, but dealt with each man individually as he

approached Him as Guru. Baba's solution was always on the lines of getting

over theoretical difficulties by adherence to practical methods. By

sticking to Baba with full faith, these problems could be solved. Unless

there was the proper approach, there was no solution.
