Guest guest Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Thursday Message [baba's Day] Aum Sairam May This Thursday [baba's Day] Bring You Strength, Good luck, Happiness, Success And Joy Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi descended on the earth to lead mankind to the realm of eternity. As the divine mother He gave his immense love and as the divine father He gave direction to our search for truth. His mission was to make people conscious of their divine nature. The people who follow His teachings and preaching are indeed blessed souls. The cardinal principles of Sai Path are Shraddha and Saburi. Sri Sai Baba explicitly asked for these two qualities in His devotees by giving his self experiential instance that his Murshid or Master asked from him only two pice one Shraddha and other the Saburi. Shraddha Shraddha in a Sanskrit word, which has no equivalent in English, at best it can be understood as, faith with love and reverence. Such faith or trust is generated out of conviction, which may not be the result of any rational belief or intellectual wisdom, but a spiritual inspiration. Sri Sai Baba sowed the seeds of spiritual inspiration in the hearts of people who knew of him. This Divine inspiration was so instant and profound that they automatically took refuge in Him. Sri Sai Baba reiterated that steadfast love in God as the gateway to eternity. He used the instance of mother tortoise to illustrate this point. The mother tortoise may be on the other side of the river, whereas her children are on the far side. She does not transfer food and water to her children by way of her loving glances. Yet, her loving looks are enough to protect the children Similarly, people who lovingly look at God get His reciprocity. God's looks offer peace, protection and prosperity for His children. Sri Sai Baba's teaching, both direct and indirect explicate the significance of Shraddha. Baba reiterates the spiritual guidance of Shri Krishna to Arjun Who so ever offer to Me with love or devotion, a leaf, a flower, a fruit or water, that offering of pure love is readily accepted by Me. Saburi Saburi; is patience and perseverance. Saburi is a quality needed throughout the path to reach the goal. This quality must be ingrained in a seeker from day one; least he looses his stride and leaves the path half way. As a hunter waits patiently and motionlessly for his target a devotee too has to wait patiently for attaining his goal. There are many trying situations in life. A test may come in the form of frustration, distress, agony, illness, mishaps, prolonged wait or a loss. In such moments we should seek support from the Master and hold on him. If patience means anything it should last till the end, and faith will see us through every turmoil of life. On This Beautiful Thursday [baba's Day] lets pray to Sri Sai that no trial erase Shraddha and Saburi of His children. Allah Malik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Sai Ram, This is a very wonderful email... Thank you very much for sharing it... You are right, we have to forget ourselves and our Ego in order to become one with him and his will...It is all his problem.. Jai Sai Ram On 18 Apr 2007 21:31:10 -0700, saikalaadla <saikalaadla wrote: Aum Sairam May This Thursday [baba's Day] Bring You Strength, Good luck, Happiness, Success And Joy We should not worry. We should have implicit faith in Sri Sai Baba, in our inner pilot or in our spiritual Master. We have to feel that not only does Sri Sai Baba know what is best for us, but also He will do what is best for us. We worry because we do not know what is going to happen to us tomorrow, or even the next minute. We feel that if we do not do something for ourselves, then who is going to do it? But if we can feel that there is someone who thinks of us infinitely more than we think of ourselves, and if we can consciously offer our responsibility to Him, saying, " You are responsible. You be responsible for what I do and say and grow into, " then our past, our present and our future become His problem. As long as we try to be responsible for our own life, we will be miserable. We will not be able to properly utilize even two minutes out of every twenty-four hours we have. When we can feel that we are Sri Sai Baba's conscious instruments and He is the Doer, then we will not worry about our destiny; we will not be afraid of our destiny, for we will know and feel that it is in the all loving Hands of Sai Maa, who will do everything in us, through us and for us. Let us consciously on this Thursday [baba's Day] offer our very existence - what we have and what we are to Sri Sai Baba. What we have is aspiration to grow into the very image of Shirdi Sai, into infinite peace, Light and bliss. And what we are right now is just ignorance, the ignorance sea. If we can offer our aspiration cry and our ignorance sea to Sri Sai Baba, then our problem is solved. We should not and we need not ever worry about destiny. On the strength of our surrender, we become inseparably one with Sri Sai Baba's cosmic Will.
