SHRI SAI INCARNATION

(Dwarakamayi Magazine Published from Hyderabad August 1989)

 

There is a descent of God for ascent af man At a time when religious

fanaticism was on the rage, Sri Sai manifested Himself to save

righteousness. He lead the life of a Brahman Fakir and dedicated Himself

for the universal brothe' hood. Theosophists say that Avatars is not an

individual soul. He is one with the Supreme.

Shri Sainath of Shiridhi is God Incarnate, He is the Supreme Soul.

Omniscient. Omnipotent and Omni-present. He was sever born and He never

died Shri Sai incarnated Himself to do Lok-Sangraha and then vanishee.

Shri Sai had no physical body He had Chinmaya body the divine body

which though looked like flesh is not made of the Pancha Bootas (Five

ele-ments). Just as a Yogi does, He appeared and disappeared. Fame,

Wealth, Modesto, Knowledge, Supernatural power and charity are the six

characteri-stic features of Bhagvan (God) Shri Sai Dev is an embodiment

of all these aspects.

Baba - as lovingly called by His devotees, is a multifarious personality

He is the one in-all end all-in -one. He is the Protector, Benefactor,

Divine Doctor and Spiritual Master He is the all-knowing all-per-vading,

all-powerfuI, Perfect Brahman. He is the Sat-Chit-Anand-Swarup Sri

Sainath is Yoganath, who had all Yogic Powers He could be come small,

big, light, heavy, assume any form; go and move without barriers:

control fire, air, earth, water, storms, etc. Shri Sai Vogi is adept in

the Yogas of Dhowti, Khanda Yoga, Samadhi etc Baba is an Antar Gyani

(the one who knows the inside) He is also a Sidha and Trikal-Gyani (the

one who knows the present, past and the future) He had full control over

Maya (Unrea-lity). Baba's Leelas (Supernatural feats) are countless.

Sai Mai's love is Love Divine-pure, Selfless and blind He love human

beings and animals alike. Shri Sai's love is infinite. Baba demanded two

things as Dakshina (Offerings) from His devotees-Nishta (Faith) and

Saboori (Patience). He asserted that He would be indebted to the

devotees and would grant them salvation. Shri Sai-the True Saint, is

'Samardha Sadguru'. Sai Gurudev's mercy is boundless and His Charity is

endless. Lord Sainath is the ocean of Compassion!

Holy Saint-Shri Sai is, had never preached nor did He deliver any

sermons His words were brief, explicit, sharp and no desires for

anything material. Like Shri Hanuman, He is Askhalitha BrahmachaJi. This

completely selfless Fakir was in Nirantara Dhyana (ever in unison with

God) and that is why His very presence had an everlasting influence on

those who came for His Darshan, and that darshan, taken even once, was

enough to transform even a casual visitor-an athiest into a beliver, a

pessimist into an optimist ; sinner into a God's man. Shri Sai is

Nirahankari (devoid of ego). He is beyond all Gunas. Shri Sai Baba has

no disciples or heirs to carry on His Mission. He carried and still

carries on His Mission by Himself. He has only devotees to benefit from

Him spiritually and eternally. Sai Bhagavan's Mission is to elevate His

devotees to higher levels on the spiritual ladder towards Moksha

(Salvation),

If Baba had taken Biksha (Alms), it was not to fill His stomach, but to

remind people of their Kartya (duties). If he had pounded wheat, it was

not to make His daily bread, but to relieve people of their sins. If He

had asked for Dakshina explicitly, it was not to fill His treasury but

to give in plenty in return. If He was living, it was not for Himself,

but wholly in order to do good to others.

Possessed with mystic powers, He was not required to beg for alms and

toil for His livelihood. Surprisingly, Baba daily distributed as

charity, amounts greater than what He had actually collected. Shri Sai

Baba renova-ted all temples in Shirdi Baba distributed Udi (Sacred Ash)

as Prashad which cured many ailments and sufferings miraculously Baba

distributing udi, Baba made clear to people that the mortal body and

materialistic things are temporary in nature and would be reduced to

ashes one day, as such we should not get attached to these.

God is only one - really nameless and formless, but He appears in any

form, which is dear to His devotees, This is what Baba exactly did. On

occasions He appeared as Ram or Krishna, sometimes Vithal, sometimes

Akhalkot Swamy sometimes a Moulvi or a Guru. Mysterious are the ways

Shri Sainath adopted for the regeneration, reformation and amelioration

of the mankind. Sai Avatara is Visishta (Unique) and Nirdhusta

(Unblemished) Shri Sai has not forsaken His devotees in the past or in

the present Saism, Sai cult and Sai namam are fast spreading. Shri Sai

gracefully showers His benedictions to all His devotees. Blessed are

those who are subjected to Shri Sai's Kripa.

Jai Jai Shri Sainath Avatar!
