Guest guest Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 So Says Sai The Vibhuthi I materialize is a manifestation of Divinity with a potent significance as well as symbolism. It is symbolic of the cosmic, immortal and infinite nature of all forms of God, Atma or the Spirit - that is, what is left when everything worldly, transient and changeable has burnt away. I have spoken to you of the imperative of desire less life. After Shiva has burnt the God of desire (Kama) into a heap of ashes, He adorned Himself with the ash to shine as the conqueror of desire. When Kama is destroyed, Prema reigned as the Goddess of Love. Such is the significance of ash. In the first place, it is symbolic of the life-death cycle in which everything ultimately reduces itself to ash. 'For dust thou art, and unto dust shall thou return'. Ash or dust is the final condition of things. It cannot undergo any further change. In the spiritual context it constitutes a warning to a receiver to give up desire, to burn all passions, attachments and temptations, and make himself pure, in thought, word and deed. It is in order to press home this lesson that I materialize ash for those who come to Me with love and devotion. Like the materializations it also acts as a talisman, healing the sick and giving protection to those who need it. It is the symbol of Divinity, quite different from magician's trickery.
