How to Attain Shri Sai

Bhagavan Shri Sai Baba

of Shirdi is a Sadguru and a great SOUl.

To attain Him is very simple.

Many have succeeded in doing so during His life time and after His Maha Samadhi. , .

The path to attain Him is made

easy for the sake of the people in this age (Kaliyuga)

as the people are so preoccupied with their day to day duties, worries and

tensions.

Shri Sai Baba. Himself has suggested

this for the sake of His followers, with affection as He is a fountain of love

and compassion. He knows that the people cannot observe the rigorous methods

ordained for attaining God like the people of previous generations and ages. So

He has suggested this easy and simple method to His devotees.

In fact we can presume that He

is an Avtar (God Incarnate) intended to suggest this

easy way. Such is the concern He is having for His loving devotees.

We can probe into this

method (His path) now. He said it is very easy and simple if one has faith in

Him.

One has to only utter Sai nama (name) with unending zeal and

perseverance. ,

He should contemplate on the

living form of Sadguru Sainath

if one cannot concentrate on his Nirakara roopa (invisible form) until the individual gets required

mental strength, will and concentration, as the path is difficult and can be

attained only when a devotee can achieve a higher plane of mind and matured

state of concentration.

Shraddha and Saburi (faith and patience) are other requisites.

Shraddha is essential for constant remembering of His

name and form.

Saburi (Patience) is another

trait one should have, to achieve this object. Man will have so many trials and

tribulations during his life. Many situations in his life will be trying to

shake his determination. In such a case one may ask how one can concentrate on

Sai. It may be difficult to think, but it is very easy to practise

provided one has a will to do so. It will automatically dawn on him just as

light replaces darkness.

Sadguru Sai has Himself assured that He will extend His

helping hand to His devotees with unending love to help them to attain

salvation (that is to attain Him) if one can fulfil

the above four easy conditions.

If one goes deep into our

religious jargon one may get confused and feel that it is very difficult to

attain God and thus get disheartened. But see the method of Shri

Sai Baba. It is so simple to implement and the reward is so high, in fact the

supreme.

So why can't we have a try?
