The Easiest Path

 

Though, Sai Baba acted outwardly like an ordinary man, His action

showed extraordinary wisdom and skill. Whatever He did, was done for

the good of His devotees. He never prescribed any Asan, regulation

of breathing or any rites to His Bhaktas, nor did He blow any Mantra

into their ears. He told them to leave off all cleverness, and

always remember " Sai " " Sai " . If you did that, He said, all your

shackles would be removed and you would be free. Sitting through

five fires, sacrifices, chanting, eight-fold Yoga are possible for

the Brahmins only, they are of no use to the other classes. The

function of the mind is to think, it cannot remain without thinking

for a minute. If you give it a sense-object, it will think about it.

If you give it Guru, it will think about Guru. He always used to

chant in front of his Dhuni " Allah Malik " Everybody's God is One,

Sab Ma malik Ek Hai, that Malik is 'God' for all the religions

 

 

Hearing the stories of the saints is not so difficult, as the other

Sadhanas, mentioned above. The stories remove all fear of this

Sansar (worldly existence) and take you on to the spiritual path.

So, listen to these stories, meditate on them and assimilate them.

You may attend to your worldly duties, but give your mind to Sai and

His stories, and then, He is sure to bless you. This is the easiest

path, but why do not all take to it? The reason is that without

God's grace, we do not get the desire to listen to the stories of

saints. With God's grace everything is smooth and easy. Hearing the

stories of the saints is, in a way, keeping their company. The

importance of the company of the saints is very great. It removes

our body-consciousness and egoism, destroys completely the chain of

our birth and death, cuts asunder all the knots of the mind and

takes us to God, Who is pure consciousness. It certainly increases

our non-attachment to sense objects and makes us quite indifferent

to pleasures and pains, and leads us onward on the spiritual path.

If you have no other Sadhana, such as uttering God's name, worship

or devotion etc. but if you take refuge in them (saints) whole-

heartedly, they will carry you off safely across the ocean of

worldly existence. It is for this reason that the saints manifest

themselves in this world. Even sacred rivers such as the Ganges,

Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri etc., which wash away the sins of the

world, desire that the saints should come to them, for a bath and

purify them. Such is the grandeur of the Saint. It is on account of

the store of merit in past births that we have attained the feet of

Sai Baba.

 

Let us meditate on Sai's Form. He, the graceful and handsome Sai,

standing on the edge of the Masjid and distributing Udi to each and

every Bhakta, with a view to his welfare, He, Who thinks of the

world as an illusion and Who is ever engrossed in Supreme Bliss -

before Him, we humbly prostrate ourselves.

Baba Said

 

" Baba said " Rama (the God of the Hindus) and Rahim (the God of the

Mohammedans) were one and the same; there was not the slightest

difference between them; why should their devotees fall out and

quarrel among themselves? You ignorant folk, children, join hands

and bring both the communities together, act sanely and thus you

will gain your object of national unity " .

 

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!!!
