Walking on the Water!

Walking on the Water!

 

A Christian quote goes as follows, " Next time when you think you are perfect,

try walking on the Water " . This is in reference to the incident when Jesus

walked on water to reach his disciples sailing in a ship. This incident is often

quoted to extol the virtues of Jesus and hold his magnificence high. At the same

time, it takes a dig at the shortcoming or limitation of men who think they are

perfect.

 

Spiritual journey with Sadguru is unique to every soul. There are no external

yardsticks and no comparisons can be drawn from one individual to the other. The

argument that all are equal is also questionable since each of us are unique;

hence, the question that if all are equal or not is also irrelevant. One such

revelation in the context of spiritual journey is the feeling of " blessedness "

and a perception that one's pursuit, standing and understanding of Sadguru are

superior to that of others. The episode of Anna Chinchanikar and Mavsibai in Sai

Satchaitamritha spells the fact that none but Sadguru is capable of judging

others' devotion.

 

In Sai path, everyone is in the process to perfection, each a work in progress.

While one aspect of Sai devotion is to perfect his/her own human nature towards

divinity, by the grace of Sadguru, the other aspect is to spread the love,

peace, compassion and harmony that Sai has bestowed upon the self. A spiritually

fulfilling journey for a Sai devotee is the spreading of love, compassion, and

forgiveness that Baba has bestowed on him to others, however small that might

be. None is perfect; all are just forgiven. Saibaba, the merciful fakir, the

compassionate father, and the Perfect One!
