5th Saying I perform all my duties from my tomb.

[Guest guest]

We must understand what Samadhi is and what is its power? Sai's Samadhi is

different from the Samadhies of ordinary people. The ordinary Samadhi of the

mortals is dead and lifeless.

 

Sai Baba's Samadhi is vibrant and conscious. Ordinary Samadhi is the

place of a dead body. Sai's Samadhi has a cosmic body. Ordinary Samadhi is

lifeless, Baba's Samadhi is life giving. Ordinary Samadhi is inert, Baba's

Samadhi is awareness. Ordinary Samadhi will be destroyed one day. Sai's Samadhi

will be permanent. Ordinary Samadhi is in darkness, Sai's Samadhi spreads light.

The person in the ordinary Samadhi is forgotten soon. Sai's Samadhi is

remembered by all, all time. Ordinary person's Samadhi is the cause of next

birth; Baba's Samadhi is free from birth and death forever. Ordinary Samadhi is

the body of the jeeva; Sai's Samadhi is the temple of Paramatma. Ordinary

Samadhi belongs to one religion. Sai's Samadhi is the worship center of all

religions. Ordinary Samadhi is either in a burial ground or in a cremation

ground. Sai's Samadhi is in the sacred land of Shirdi. Ordinary Samadhi contains

the body of an ignorant person. Sai's Samadhi contains the body of a Brahma

Jnani.

 

Sai Baba does his divine deeds from this powerful center of cosmic

energy. Let us try to know what they are. Baba is for his devotees. All the

responsibilities and burdens of the devotees are borne by Baba.

 

What do the devotees and Baba do?

Devotee eats; Baba feeds.

Devotee sleeps, Baba sings lullaby.

Devotee walks, Baba supports.

Devotee sees; Baba shows the light.

Devotee laughs, Baba makes him laugh.

Devotee weeps; Baba consoles.

Devotee loves, Baba teaches him to love.

Devotee prays; Baba accepts his prayer.

Devotee does Japa, Baba is in his Japa.

Devotee surrenders. Baba grants self-realisation.

 

In addition to the above Baba do infinite favors to His devotees. It is for them

that he manifested in Shirdi. Many a divine incarnation came to earth to do good

to the people. They have no work other than protecting the devotees. Welfare

activities are continuously carried out by Baba from the Samadhi. It is our duty

to understand Baba and the significance of his activities.
