Prosperous UGAGDI – GUDI PADWA

 

SAI’S PHILOSOPHY:

 

Sairam

At the outset, I request you to accept my humble

pranams. To talk of Shiridi Sai’s philosophy is like attempting to measure

energy contained in the five basic elements of the universe i.e. Air, water,

fire, earth and sky. Making attempt to measure their energy content is like

experiencing both present and future at the same time.In chapter-3 of Sri Sai

Satcharita, Baba said -“I reside in the hearts of everyone. My presence is

spread all over the living force. I am the driving force behind all that is

happening everywhere. I am all-pervasive, I am the cause for creation and I am

the universal motherâ€.

 

Sadhgurus are like lamps

in society helping us to remove the darkness into which we are embedded. It would be foolish to probe into the raw

materials with which the lamps are made. Sai lighted the lamps with water in

Dwarakamayi that gave light to the surroundings and removed the darkness called

ignorance. We should give importance to the light received rather than how and

from what source the light is emitted. It will be appropriate to say that I

would be much happier to go by the path of light as shown by Lord Sainath.

 

Whenever I hold Satcharita

in my hands for parayana, I always felt in my mind as if Sai wanted to convey

that – “My children are like flying kites in the sky. Twine attached to the

kite for flying is their life. Baba said-“I am like the bobbin to ensure that

the twine never gets entangledâ€. This is in line with one of the eleven

assurances of Sai wherein He said that- “I shall always protect my devotees

whenever called for, from my Samadhiâ€.

 

I was feeling sad that I

could not undertake any pilgrimage. Sai consoled me saying-“You need not go

to Haridwar for having darshan of the Lord Hari. Close your eyes and open the

gates of your mind and you can find Hari thereâ€. This tatva, we can

find in chapter-15 of Sri Sai Satcharita, as told by Baba himself- “I reside in

everybody’s hearts. Pray on me and I shall always be Eveready to protect

youâ€.

 

The breeze flowing from

Sai sagar will be the same either inside the towering buildings built by

wealthy people or in small huts constructed by the poor ones by their sideâ€. This is rightly demonstrated by the same amount of

love and affection Baba showered on all. Baba loved equally all the

three devotees- Gopal mukund booti – a well to do rich man, Shyama- a poor

teacher and Bhagoji shinde-a person suffering from Leprosy- all belonging

to different sections in society.

 

“Taking bath after

performing the last rites of an unclaimed body is as good as bathing thousand

times in the holy Ganges.†Baba

stood as an example for this act by performing the last rites of his ardent

devotee ‘Megha’.

“Do not hate a rich

person and do not humiliate a poor manâ€. Let us refer to chapter-12 of Sri Sai

Satcharita, Baba sent millionaire,

Gopala mukund buti to a poor Brahmin Mule Sastri for collecting the Dakshina

from him and thereby fostered friendship between the rich and poor

 

“Sexual relationship with

one’s own wife is like sugar. Extra marital affairs are like inviting more

sugar into the body than what is neededâ€.We comes across this tatva in

chapter-49 of Sri Sai Satcharita. A well to do man came from Bijapur along with

his family for having darshan of Baba. The woman lifted her veil. Nana sahib

chandorkar, seated by the side of Baba was stunned by her extra ordinary beauty

and was eager to watch the woman’s face again and again. Baba cautioned and

controlled Nana in time and thereby corrected him.

 

How long can you keep

running away from the death that is following every moment like a shadow?

Therefore do not be scared of deathâ€.

We come across this tatva in the chapter-33 of Sri Sai Satcharita .Baba used to

distribute ‘udhi’ to His devotees to constantly remind that the physical

body would one day turn into ashes after going through all phases in

one’s life cycle.

 

“There is no point in

going on thinking how one’s last rites would be performed. They would certainly

happen as per the karmic deeds. In line with this tatva, Baba

supervised the last rites of Megha, His ardent devotee. However when

Radhakrishanmai died under mysterious circumstances, Kopergaon police performed

her last rites.

 

“Never travel with others

while travelling on the spiritual path. You should do it all alone under the

guidance of Sadhguruâ€. We come across this aspect of tatva in chapter-26 of

Sri Sai Satcharita. Bhakta Panth came for having Baba’s darshan and fell unconscious.

Baba sprinkled water on his forehead. On Panth coming back to senses, Baba

said- “Come what may; do not loosen your grip. Always stay firm and keep faith

in your Guruâ€. In this way Baba wanted everybody to move forward in a path

shown by their Guru.
