Miracles? Part 03

My dear Brothers & Sisters

 

First of all My Humble Salutations At Thy Divine Lotus Feet of My Beloved Mother

" SAIMA " . I am not too much learned to write anything about my beloved mother

" SAI's " miracles, but I had a close relationship with Him for several years, but

with his Grace & Blessings He himself will be wriiting the same thro me like the

way Hemadpant had written the " Sri Sai Satcharitra Book " .

Ok Sai Ram

 

Jai Sai Ram

Swamy Mahadevan

 

Sai Baba's miracles shake us from complacency. They reveal his

personal love, omniscience, and attention to us. Wonderful signs

announce Baba's divine nature and mission. But the miracles are only

granted to those people who can benefit by them. They are not

intended to impress or attract everyone.

 

It is difficult for the casual observer to know who may deserve these

signs. The spectator sees only the outward man or woman and does not

know the effort they have given in this life or even past lives. Only

the Lord knows their devotion. A miracle may indicate to the

recipient the closeness of that person's bond to Sai baba. It may be

a sign to others of the faith and sincerity of the recipient. But if

a seeker does not receive such signs, the seeker may still receive

Sai's grace and protection.

 

" I shall tell you why I give these rings, talismans, rosaries, etc.

It is to signalize the bond between me and those to whom they are

given. When calamity befalls them, the article comes to me in a flash

and returms in a flash, taking from me the remedial grace of

protection. That grace is available to all who call me in any name or

form, not merely to those who wear these gifts. Love is the bond that

wins grace " Baba

 

There may be good reasons why a miracle would not be appropriate. For

example, in the case of a miracle which heals an illness, the lessons

of the illness must first be learned or the difficulty will only

repeat itself. The divine sign must be suited specifically to the

recipient.These Sai leelas (divine signs) are not idle acts intended

to amaze the crowds. They hold great spiritual significance to the

one they are intended for,often showing that person just how near and

caring God is.

 

Sai baba's miracles help us to recognize him. A startling experience

is often required to shake us from our sleep. After we have learned

of Baba's immeasurable love and wisdom, the miracle appear trivial.

But to catch the attention of one caught in the grasp of the material

world, they are indispensable. Only when we recognize the Lord will

we heed his message.

 

" I am determined to correct you only after informing you of my

credentials. That is why I am now and then announcing my nature by

means of miracles, that is, acts which are beyond human capacity and

human understanding. Not that I am anxious to show off my powers. The

object is to draw you closer to me, to cement your hearts to me " Baba

 

The world is God's leela, or play. No one can limit and define what

is possible for the Lord. God's powers are beyond our comprehension.

The miracles of Sai are now appearing around the globe. In virtually

every country his presence is becoming known. A spiritual revolution

of unparalleled proportions is taking hold. Yet Swami restrains

publicity so that spiritual aspirants may still travel to see and

experience him. In this age of rapid communication, it is a wonder

that the name of Sai is not known by all

 

Leela are occurring throughout India in tens of millions of homes.

Swami keeps his hand down so that publicity about the leelas will not

spread. The rulers of the country know, but they keep it quiet. If

the facts were to have publicity, millions would coverage on Swami.

The government would surround him with security guards, and devotees

could not get close to him. The time is not ready.

 

Sai baba's powers are tools for restoring truth, order and love in

the world. Sai baba holdd the power to manifest objects or make his

presence known at great distances. He frequently creates sacred ash

(vibhuti) or rings or lockets for his devotees. On several occasionsm

Swami has cured sickness or " takenover " the illness of a devotee. Sai

Baba has even restored life to the dead. Indeed, his powers are

beyond the limits of time and space. They are natural to him; they

are not intended to attract or impress the curious.

 

" You may infer from what you call my miracles that I am causing them

to attract and attach you to me and me alone. They are not intended

to demonstrate or publicize; they are merely spontaneous and

concomitant proofs of divine majesty " Baba

 

Although Swami's powers seem capable of accomplishing anything, he does not make

" quick fixes " for problems. People ask, " If Swami can change anything, then why

does he not end hunger and sickness and all the evils of the world? " swami says

that if he were to change such things, they would only again revert to the way

they were. He states that the minds and hearts of people need to be changed;

only when individuals grow more loving and caring will the world change. Swami's

way is slow and lasting. He limits his actions to conform to proper self imposed

restrictions.

 

" Since swami has taken a body, he has imposed certain proper limitations on

himself. Swami has created idols of gold, and could just as easily create a

mountain of gold. But then the Government would surround him and let nobody

through "
