Significance of Om Sai

[Guest guest]

Every word given by our Master of Shirdi is a precious truth to be

supremely valued, pray to Him " Let our tongue get a passion for chanting

your name " When by the grace of the Sadguru one is put in touch with the

magnetic shabd " OM SAI " the inner light shines and the darkness of

ignorance melts away. A perfect Master gives the secret of Naamajapa to

his devotees and joins their souls to the magnetic word 'OM SAI' which

should be ever ticking in an enlightened soul. Sadguru Sai knows that

which is supreme beyond 'OM' and He had much regard for Pranava Mantra

'OM'.

 

Real and Everlasting

Once the seed of Naamasmaran is planted, it never dies. It must generate

sooner or later and eventually the Guru God will take him into his fold.

The shabd 'OM SAI' is the only real, everlasting, unfailing guide of the

devotee and he must cultivate the ceaseless chanting of Sainaama. The

Shabd 'OM SAI' should ever resonate in one's mind.

 

When the Sadguru has accepted a devotee as His own, He never deserts him

and is always ready to guide him in his pain and pleasure and put him on

the right path. The spiritual value of devotion of ever chanting the

supreme name of Sai far exceeds that of any other religious path.

 

Repetition of holy name 'OM SAI' should be done with perfect attention

in between the eyebrows and it should have close concentration on the

power of the word. We have to lean inside and see Him. The more one is

attached to Sai naama He will be nearer to Guru and the love towards Him

will be strengthened.

 

Naamasmaran ultimately leads to meditation that will open your inner

eyes and make-the image of the Lord shine in your Heart. The tongue

should ceaselessly repeat Sainaama, the chitta (mind) contemplate on the

word and the manas (heart) meditate on His divine form. And His face,

the eyes and Sai's gaze should be riveted in your Heart. The form should

be imprinted in your mind. It should be oneness from within and without

and the universal consciousness of Sadguru Sai should be experienced.

Sages have said: " Where His mind is totally absorbed, that is your

place " .

 

" Let not the mind wander and wish for anything except Thee " should be

one's Prayer and dhyana.

 

Easiest Sadhana

Remember Him (Sai Baba) always with love as He was ever engrossed in

doing good to all and always abided in His self. To remember Him is to

solve the riddle of life and death. This is the best and easiest method

of sadhanas and it involves no expenditure but purely perseverance, a

little exertion will bring you rewards. So long as our senses are sound

we should practice this sadhana of namasmaran of Sai. Guru is the only

God to a commoner and an erudite person.

 

Baba told His Devotees to leave all their cleverness and always remember

" SAI, SAI " " If you do that " he said " All your shackles will be removed "

when you assimilate Sai in yourself, your mind will be merged in pure

consciousness, Sai has answered that those " who chant His name will

attain self-realization and enlightenment " .

 

Saints of different schools have also emphasized that the essence of all

sastras is in chanting of Divine name "
