Guru is Light

[Guest guest]

GURU is a highly spiritual being, free from the clutches of body and

mind. He is charged with pure spirituality. Unless a jiva comes into

contact with such a being, His latent spiritual aspirations are not

stirred up. The Guru is really a lighted candle that lights many

blown-out candles. He can, by transmitting His own life impulse,

enliven others. Some persons feel that by the study of scriptures

alone they can have spiritual light and need no Master for this

purpose. These are, after all, nothing but the records of the

personal spiritual experiments and experiences of ancient sages,

seers, prophets, and men of piety. It is good to read them with

loving devotion. We should have respect for them, for they

constitute a great treasure-house of spirituality which our

forefathers have left for our benefit.

 

The sacred books and biographies of the high-souled personages

create a spiritual longing and inspire us with hope and courage. We

may to a certain extent become acquainted with the broad principles

of spirituality, but cannot learn their right import nor get the

life impulse, both of which come from a living Master alone.

 

Life comes from Life as Light comes from Light. It is only an

awakened soul that can rouse us from our deep slumber. We may read

scriptures for ages upon ages and perform countless sacrificial

deeds, but cannot have spiritual awakening and spiritual insight.

Spirituality can neither be bought nor taught, but may be caught

like any infectious disease from one who may himself be spiritually

infected, nay rather, obsessed.

 

Truly speaking, the term Guru is not an appellation of any person.

It signifies and stands for a dynamic power that works in and

through a particular human form and is the ideal for us all. This is

the power that helps in spiritual advancement. Like a floodlight he

floods the world with His spiritual Light, and one cannot see

anything besides Light.

 

Baba said

 

" Like a loving mother forcing bitter, but wholesome medicines down

the throats of her children for the sake of their health, Sai Baba

imparted spiritual instructions to His devotees " .

 

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
