Significance of Om Sai

[Guest guest]

Every word given by our Master of Shirdi is a precious truth to be

supremely valued, pray to Him " Let our tongue get a passion for chanting

your name " When by the grace of the Sadguru one

is put in touch with the magnetic shabd " OM SAI " the inner light shines and the

darkness of ignorance melts away. A perfect Master gives the secret of Naamajapa to his devotees and joins their souls to the

magnetic word 'OM SAI' which

should be ever ticking in an enlightened soul. Sadguru

Sai knows that which is supreme beyond 'OM' and He had

much regard for Pranava Mantra 'OM'.

 

Real and Everlasting

Once the seed of Naamasmaran is planted,

it never dies. It must generate sooner or later and eventually the Guru God

will take him into his fold. The shabd 'OM SAI' is the only real, everlasting,

unfailing guide of the devotee and he must cultivate the ceaseless chanting of Sainaama. The Shabd 'OM SAI' should ever resonate in one's mind.

 

When the Sadguru has accepted a devotee

as His own, He never deserts him and is always ready to guide him in his pain

and pleasure and put him on the right path. The spiritual value of devotion of

ever chanting the supreme name of Sai far exceeds that of any other religious

path.

 

Repetition of holy name 'OM SAI'

should be done with perfect attention in between the eyebrows and it should

have close concentration on the power of the word. We have to lean inside and

see Him. The more one is attached to Sai naama He

will be nearer to Guru and the love towards Him will be strengthened.

 

Naamasmaran ultimately

leads to meditation that will open your inner eyes and make-the image of the

Lord shine in your Heart. The tongue should ceaselessly repeat Sainaama, the chitta (mind)

contemplate on the word and the manas (heart)

meditate on His divine form. And His face, the eyes and Sai's

gaze should be riveted in your Heart. The form should be imprinted in your

mind. It should be oneness from within and without and the universal

consciousness of Sadguru Sai should be experienced.

Sages have said: " Where His mind is totally

absorbed, that is your place " .

 

" Let not the mind wander and wish for anything except

Thee " should be one's Prayer and dhyana.

 

Easiest Sadhana

Remember Him (Sai Baba) always with love as He was ever engrossed

in doing good to all and always abided in His self. To

remember Him is to solve the riddle of life and death. This is the best and

easiest method of sadhanas and it involves no

expenditure but purely perseverance, a little exertion will bring you rewards.

So long as our senses are sound we should practice this sadhana

of namasmaran of Sai. Guru is the only God to a

commoner and an erudite person.

 

Baba told His Devotees to leave all their cleverness and always

remember " SAI, SAI "

" If you do that " he said " All your shackles will be

removed " when you assimilate Sai in yourself, your mind will be merged in

pure consciousness, Sai has answered that those " who

chant His name will attain self-realization and enlightenment " .

 

Saints of different schools have also emphasized that the essence

of all sastras is in chanting of Divine name "
