Guest guest Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 End to Pain and Sufferings Ordinary pain, whether physical, or emotional, is a natural consequence of being embodied. Only spiritual pain can be ended. Spiritual pain is the state of being separated from the blissful nature of our higher self (soul). The important thing is: when spiritual success ends spiritual pain, so end all cares for any other pain. The interesting thing is that spiritual suffering is usually experienced unconsciously or indirectly. In mild cases, it manifests itself as existential concerns: worrying about the future, feeling lost in the world, or not knowing what to do with oneself or one's life. If one is fortunate, spiritual pain will manifest itself as melancholy, which is a louder message in the language of the soul. As quoted in Chapter 50 of Shri Sai Satcharitra-When Mr. Nanasaheb Chandorkar told Kakasaheb that if he wished to get rid of the pain and lameness of his leg, he should go to his Sadguru Sai Baba. He also gave him all the particulars of Sai Baba and mentioned to him Sai Baba's dictum, I draw to Me My man from far off or even across the seven seas, like a sparrow with a string fastened to its feet. He also made it clear to him that, if he was not Baba's man, he would not be attracted to Him and given darshan. Kakasaheb was pleased to hear all this and said to Nanasaheb that he would go to Baba, see Him and pray to Him to cure not so much his lame leg, but bring round his lame, fickle mind and give him eternal Bliss. Suffering, as distinguished from ordinary pain, stems from spiritual ignorance, which is the condition born of faulty perception. The only remedy for this affliction is the removal of the faulty perception by following a genuine spiritual path, which can be defined as acquisition of spiritual knowledge through an authentic spiritual practice. When we are connected to the bliss of our innermost being, that Divine Bliss is so overwhelming that all our cares are nothing in comparison and disappear in the splendor of the Light. Spiritual pain is removed by action - a particular kind of action. All living spiritual traditions teach the same thing: observe our spiritual sleep and wake up, notice how we go to sleep again and again, and practice the awakened state until we no longer go to sleep. Sensations of pain do not end even when spiritual liberation is attained and sadhaka becomes free from the suffering inherent in ego- centered living. It is only the concern for them that ends. Hence, a wise person focuses solely on removing the spiritual suffering. Baba Said " The Sadguru looks to the intense feeling and devotion of His devotees, endows them with knowledge and eternal bliss " . Shri Sai does not make things difficult for anyone. We at times, suffer the result of our past actions. Please pray to Him sincerely.He only helps, faith without patience is not consistent. Human beings will always have problems in one aspect of life or the other, whether they are big or small,whether they are evil or pure. All such sufferings are correlated to earlier life's action plus this life's. It is better to remember God more in happier times than in sorrow. Baba is every where just feel him and keep on saying `Om Sai Ram' to whom so ever you meet. OM SAI SRI SAI JAI JAI SAI!!! Let us pray at the lotus feet of Bhagwan Baba who is the incarnation of all gods and protector of all, to show mercy on us, and increase our devotion towards him Let us pray Shri Sai to give us the intellect and wisdom to make tomorrow's world a happier place to stay always with unity by following his principle of " Shraddha " and " Saburi " Let us pray to Sri Sai to grant us steady faith and love on him. Jai Sai Ram Swamy Mahadevan Bow to Shri Sai-Peace be to all Baba Bless you ever!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
