Significance of Om Sai

[Guest guest]

Significance of “Om Sai "

Om Guru Guhaya Sainathaya Namah -Sai naama opens one's heart for the lord to rest His feet and make thy soul thirst or His grace

to take the path of namasmaran.

 

Shirdi Sai is an avatar of Paramatrna.

He came from Him, lived by Him and returned to Him. Now as an Apantaratma and Kaliyuga Radhakrishna He is carrying out the will of the 'Allah Malik' (when a Jnani or Jivanmukta dies wishing to continue His Personality and

Mission, the soul surviving thereafter in a subtle form is called Apantaratrna).

 

Sadguru Sai Baba had assured

His devotees that He would bless them from His Samadhi Mandir.

Baba is now speaking to His devotees in subtle silence from His Tomb and His

silent talk seems to be more eloquent to puzzled mind, fulfilling their wishes

and leading them to Shubra Marga.

 

He has given us the spiritual Treasure of namasmaran

of " Om Sai, Sri Sai, Jaya Jaya Sai " for self-realization liven

chanting " Sai, Sai and Sai "

is equally powerful in mitigating the sins of past Karma. Our Sadguru has approved His celestial name, 'Sai' for Constant

namajapa or ceaseless contemplation. " MAHAMANTRA "

 

The word 'Sai' has a life, Sai is Cum Ratna

and His name is Mahamantra. The music of Sai's name refreshes one's mind and it proves to be the

sanctuary of the soul. Sai naamasmaran is an elixir

for enlightenment. One's atma, sphere should be

filled with the vibration of Sai naama and such a

soul can attain sadgati in the last hours of its

life.

 

The wavelength of the Vedic sound " OM " if

combined with the celestial shabd (sound) Sai, its

power of vibration will be unfathomable. The radiant sound current is the

connecting link between God and His Creation. Vedic sound 'OM' eludes the

power of God.

 

This eternal and ethereal sound would surely lead us to the

liberation of soul from human bondage. The soul of the listener of this sound

gains the all-pervading consciousness. When once directly connected with this

sound energy we can enjoy peace, contentment and inner bliss. The sensory

currents would automatically be drawn upwards. To tune our consciousness to the

Divine shabd, we need the help of a Sadguru.

 

That Sadguru is our Shirdi Sai and His

real form comes before the devotee once he utters His name through the shabd " OM SAI " This shabd assumes the

form of Sai to be able to communicate with the devotees and show him the right path.

Naamasmaran can render asunder the bondage of one's samsara and soak him in inner joy. Naamasmaran

is one of the greatest gifts with which our Supreme sage of Shirdi has endowed

us to realise the soul and the self and enjoy the

heavenly bliss in this mortal and living world itself.

 

" Purifies the Mind "

The jewel of these shabd

“OM SAI” purities

one's mind and makes it the right place for the Lord to slay in his heart. The

enlightenment of the Self and Soul is the limitless bliss a devotee can derive

from the ceaseless chanting of 'OM SAI'.

When the mind comes into contact with this supreme and lasting enjoyment, it enthrills the soul all the time.

 

The one who brings the soul into contact of this shabd, 'OM SAI'

is the real master. The Lord, who has created this Universe, has entrusted the

key of Naamajapa and its secret to one's Sadguru.

 

Oh! Mind of mine

It is good you decided to surrender see Him,

Our Sainath on His pedestal

He has taken charge of you

Doubt not there is any great state

Dwell always on His Name

And ever chant Sai, Sai, Sai!

When senses fail, memory slips

Breathing flinches and the body shivers

And as the soul takes upward journey

Whose help one can seek except Sai, Sai, Sai!

We can imbibe this spirit only with Sai's

grace

For to us mercy knows no limit as exhibited in Shirdi days
