CHAPTER XV

SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF “DHUNI”

At Shirdi, we find a very important and conspicuous thing, called “Dhuni”,

just in front of Sai Baba’s seat, in Dwarakamai.

At a glance, we may have a doubt, what for Sai Baba has installed “Dhuni”,

the Holy fire, and does it bear any relevance to Sai Baba’s Life and

Message The answer is “Yes, there is relevance!” Sai Baba is not just

the 51/2 feet physical stature, as He appears to be. He is the

personification of tremendous Light, Power and Wisdom! “Dhuni”, which was

installed by Sai Baba and which is eternally burning, represent this

glorious light of Atomic Excellence!

Sai Baba never preached any religion! But He engaged Himself throughout His

life, in re-linking Humanity with its original inner source of Divinity!

This re-linking is called “Religion” as per the Latin Origin of the word!

Out of our ignorance, we identify with our gross physical bodies! Religion

is supposed to wipe out this false identification with the external and to

re- establish the rapport with our internal divine nature! Hence, Swami

Vivekananda also explained that religion is the manifestation of

divinity already within! Sai Baba uncovered this divinity in us along with

its spiritual dignity! In this noble and wider appreciation, “Dhuni” is a

great spiritual symbol, signifying several meanings and values for us! Baba

always used to sit in Dwarakamai, by the side of the Dhuni and looked at it

deeply, self-absorbed! He used to spend money for purchasing faggots of

firewood to be fed into the “Dhuni” meditating! What a bewitching picture

we can imagine in our minds! Meditation is Tapas! By Tapas, Gnana-Agni

burns our past Karma (Prarabdha) to ashes! It burns the Sanchita also into

dust! By Gnana-Agni burns our past Karma (Prarabdha) to ashes! It burns

the Sanchita also into dust! By Gnana Agni our present actions will not

bear any fruits of good or bad in the future (i.e. AGAMI)!
