Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 A good devotee of Sai Baba lives always in the godly company of Baba. The only want in the heart of an ignorant person is for knowledge and that is God-consciousness. If that could be attained, there will never be a want anywhere in the heart. Then, there will be full happiness and blissfulness always in the heart of the devotees. Mahalsapathy served Baba always. Baba did not give him monetary wealth, but showered on him monumental grace. He was given the good fortune of serving Baba for full 60 years. He personally went to him and blessed him with Darshan. He always called him 'my loving devotee'. He considered him to be his first disciple. He blessed him with the opportunity to sleep with him for full 40 years. He gave him finally Self-realization. Shyama was like Nandi to Baba. Shiva and Nandi are together always. Similarly Sai and Shyama are close to each other always. What did Baba do to Shyama? Baba gave him unchanging devotion to Shyama. He showed the blessed loka of Brahma to Shyama. Several sacred scriptures were given to Shyama. Shyama was given the opportunity to visit many pilgrim centers. Baba gave him many gifts. The most important was the image of Ganapathi. Finally, Baba gave him an opportunity to serve Baba for 44 years with love and devotion. What did Baba give to Dasaganu who sang the glory of Baba in Harikathas? Baba blessed him with musical talent so that both he and his listeners can enjoy the bliss of devotion and finally the abode of Baba. Baba allowed the sacred Ganga to spring from his toes and gave it to Dasaganu and his devotees. He was inspired by Baba to write many books in praise of Sai Baba so that the devotees of Baba are blessed greatly. What was Radhakrishna Mayi given for her worship and glorification of Baba as Sri Krishna? She was given certain divine powers. She was given the love of the master. She was given self-realization. She was granted the good fortune of serving the master. She was made the central figure while worshipping Baba with camphor and lamp. Hemad Panth wrote books about Baba describing his unique life and message. (to be contd..)
