BABA'S SAYINGS AND HAPPENINGS

By T.A. Ram Nathen

 

First give up all ideas of enjoyment in this world and the next,

care only for God and Truth. We are here to know truth, not for

enjoyment. Leave that to brutes that enjoy as we never can. Man is a

thinking being and must struggle on until he conquers death, until

he sees the light. He must not spend himself in vain talking that

bears no fruit. Worship of society and popular opinion is idolatry.

The soul has no sex, no country, no place, no time.

 

Swami Vivekananda says here, that happen there, so said Sai Baba.

And how? Only a saint knows another saint and his ways. Avatar Meher

Baba has enlightened us on the mysterious ways of Sai Baba's sayings

and happenings. Meher Baba has said: " ....... the Jivatma in the

gross sphere uses the mind through gross matters; in the subtle

sphere, He uses the mind directly without the aid of gross and

subtle means. "

 

Strictly speaking, unless and until the mental sphere is reached,

none really knows what the mind actually is much less to do things

through the medium of the mind itself to bring our tangible results.

 

Suppose a pilgrim in Egypt reaches the mental sphere and conceives

the idea of visiting America, the pilgrim has not even to think

about America; but simultaneously with a wish on his part to be

there he will find himself actually there speedier than the time it

takes to think about America in the ordinary way. And how does the

pilgrim travel faster than the thought itself? Because he does not,

strictly speaking, travel as the mind is everywhere. The pilgrim in

the mental sphere, whom we address as `Mahaan', `Vali', `Maha Yogi',

can be anywhere he likes without availing his gross and subtle

organs.

 

In the gross and subtle spheres, the souls work with full

consciousness through the media of the mind, gross and subtle

organs. While in the mental sphere, the soul works with full

consciousness through the mind itself without necessarily using the

gross and subtle organs. If the room is dark, the constant feeling

and repeating of darkness will not take it away, but bring in the

light. Let us know that all that is negative all that is destructive

is bound to pass away. It is the positive, the affirmative, the

constructive, that is immortal, and that will remain forever.....

 

-Swami Vivekananda.
