Sai Satcharitra - Ovi to Ovi english Translation - Chp-II

[Guest guest]

13. The waters of the Seven Seas1, those can be measured; the skies can be

covered; but there is no mirror to reflect a saint.

 

14. I know that I am an insignificant person; but, when I realise Baba’s

tremendous powers, there arise uncontrollable, emotional ripples of song.

 

15. Hail! Hail! Sairaya! The refuge of the weak and the destitute! Infinite

is your love and indescribable. Have mercy on me, your servant.

 

16. With limited capacities I am undertaking this venture of writing this

account. Do not let me be ridiculed.

 

17. Maharaj Dñyaneshwar says that whosoever writes biographies of saints are

blessed by God. Then, why should I be afraid?

 

18. This inspiration to write was kindled by God Himself, although I am

dense and dull-witted. He knows how best His own work can be completed.

 

19. Whatever services devotees think of rendering to saints, it is the

saints themselves who get it done. The devotees are merely the ordained

instruments. The real inspiration comes from the saints.

 

20. Essentially, it is Sai himself who is making me, an ignorant person, to

write his own life story. Therein lies the greatness of this book which

evokes reverence and respect.

 

21. Ascetics, saints or God, can get their story written by anyone they

chose, by conferring grace upon them;

 

22. just as in the seventeen hundred ‘Shake’2, the saints inspired a person

named Mahipati, to render service to them and

got their life stories written by him.

 

23. Likewise, in the year eighteen hundred Shake3, the services of Das Ganu

were availed by saints by getting him to write the following biographies,

which purified everybody.

 

24. Just as Mahipati4 has written four volumes named (a) Bhakta Vijaya (b)

Sant Vijaya © Bhakta Leelamrut and (d) Sant Leelamrut, so Das Ganu has

written two such volumes.
