Sairam,

 

Happy BABA's day to you all. BABA guide us and bless us always. May HE protect us from committing sins and lead us away from temptations. '

 

 

We humans limit our thoughts to materialism. We assume that God lives only in Statues and pictures. If we believe in saints we perceive them to be limited to their bodies. Least we know that God/Saints due to their magnanimity and incredible power pervade the vast universe and body is not a limitation for them to manifest. They can live in any form, dimension, and place. Knowing this as spiritual seekers we should not limit our love or devotion towards Gods/Saints. We should know that they are beyond human imagination and materialistic limitations in life. When we assume that God/saints live in all, then our love for God increases many folds. 'Our devotion grows many folds. Our actions are filled with love and are always aimed at pleasing god. When we accept the omniscence and omnipotence of God in such a way our spiritual growth is faster and in our quest to please god we will spread our love out of

the 4 walls of our house. Here is the message for the week..

 

 

 

"Baba Fed Sumptuously, -- How?

Once, Mrs. Tarkhad was staying in a certain house in Shirdi. At noon, meals were

ready and dishes were being served, when a hungry dog turned up there and began

to cry, Mrs. Tarkhad got up at once and threw a piece of bread, which the dog

gulped with great relish. In the afternoon, when she went to the Masjid and sat

at some distance, Sai Baba said to her, "Mother, you have fed Me sumptuously up

to my throat, My afflicted pranas (life-forces) have been satisfied. always act

like this, and this will stand you in good stead. Sitting in this Masjid I shall

never, never speak untruth. Take pity on Me like this. First give bread to the

hungry, and then eat yourself. Note this well." She could not at first

understand the meaning of what Baba said. So she replied -- "Baba, how could I

feed You? I am myself dependent on others and take my food from them on

payment." Then Baba replied -- "Eating that lovely bread I am heartily contended

and I am still belching. The dog which you saw before meals and to which you

gave the piece of bread is, one with Me, so also other creatures (cats, pigs,

flies, cows etc.) are one with Me. I am roaming in their forms. He, who sees Me

in all these creatures is My beloved. So abandon the sense of duality and

distinction, and serve Me, as you did today." Drinking these nectar-like words,

she was moved, her eyes were filled with tears, her throat was choked and her

joy knew no bounds.

Moral

"See God in all beings" is the moral of this chapter. The Upanishads, the Geeta

and the Bhagwat, all exhort us to perceive God or Divinity in all the creatures.

By the instance given at the end of this Chapter and others too numerous to

mention. Sai Baba has practically demonstrated to us how to put the Upanishadic

teachings into practice. In this way Sai Baba stands as the best Exponent or

Teacher of the Upanishadic doctrines." Chapter 9 Satcharita
