Think a while

[Guest guest]

Dear friends and devotees,

 

Bhakti is eternal.

 

The following message is received from Sairam Gurukulam to Sai Devotees.

I would like to share with those who are interested.

 

With love and regards,

 

Sastry

 

 

 

IT'S ME…LORD SHIVA!!!

 

There were serpentine queues in every SHIVA temple on the eve of

SHIVARATHRI. Seeing all this, PARVATHI asked LORD SHIVA, " Just look at

those thousands of devotees thronging your temple to have your DARSHAN.

Many of them stay awake during the night; keep fast, sing Bhajans and so

on. You must be really please with their devotion. "

 

The LORD always likes to test his devotees to check if the devotion is

strong enough. Just like how we feel the nail and try to move it after

it is hit on a wall to hang a picture frame!

 

The LORD said to his consort, " Poor devotees! They're braving the crowds

unmindful of the pull and the push waiting to have my glimpse. They

don't realize that I'm their 'indweller'! Anyway, let us go down & give

them our darshan. " PARVATHI agreed to this suggestion and both of them

decide to go & give darshan in their original form itself! So they

picked out a temple that had the maximum crowd and started moving along

with the crowd smiling at them & blessing them.

 

The people started laughing at SHIVA & PARVATHI & said, " What a

beautiful costume you people are wearing? From which drama troupe have

you come? Are you both going to give a play here in this temple? " they

asked.

 

SHIVA said, " It's me…LORD SHIVA! We're real. We thought we would

come and give you live darshan so that you don't have to put up with

hours & hours of waiting just to have my glimpse inside the temple. "

 

The crowd roared in laughter & seemed to enjoy the show. " Fantastic

piece of make up. Is that snake for real?' somebody asked. Another asked

PARVATHI, " WOW! Look at those jewels. If they're real, they should be

worth a few crores!!! " People continued to push their way through the

queue to get inside the Sanctum Sanctorum.

 

PARVATHI said to the people, " We can perform whatever miracle you want

us to do because we're really what we claim to be. What proof do you

want? "

 

To that somebody said, " Turn this temple into GOLD. In fact anything

that is metallic should turn into GOLD. Can you do that? " Everyone

joined the chorus. Yes, yes. Turn this temple into GOLD. The people

started mocking them & ridiculing them.

 

SHIVA just smiled & the next moment the entire temple complex was

glittering with GOLD!!! " Is this real? " some people asked. People who

had coins in their hands realized that even the coins had turned into

GOLD. There happened to be a GOLDSMITH there who shouted excitedly,

" Hey! This is all real. No doubt at all. IT IS ALL SOLID GOLD!!! "

 

Then pandemonium broke loose. People started running all over the place

trying to take whatever was loose outside the temple compound.

 

PARVATHI asked SHIVA, " Instead of taking our blessings and considering

it their fortune to have seen us and getting liberated from this cycle

of birth & death, why are they all running here and there? "

 

SHIVA told her, " They're not only taking the GOLD that's there but also

getting whatever metallic objects they can lay their hands on, like

vessels, coins, tools & so on. Then they would ask us to turn them into

GOLD as well!!! Having said that, SHIVA & PARVATHI just vanished and all

the GOLD came back to its' earlier original metallic form leaving

everyone shell shocked trying to figure out what had happened!!!

 

PS: During RAMAYANA that happened in 'TRETA YUGA' only a few recognized

LORD RAMA as GOD! Same in the case of KRISHNA AVATAR during DWAAPARA

YUGA! There were people who abused SHIRDI SAI BABA in his life time and

SATHYA SAI BABA as well. We don't know whether we were there during RAMA

AVATAR nor do we know whether we lived during KRISHNA AVATAR's time. We

also don't know whether we were alive during ADI SHANKARA or SRI

RAGHAVENDRA or SHIRDI SAI BABA's time. (To name a few)

 

But today the WORLD has RECOGNIZED & EXPERIENCED the presence of a

POORNA AVATAR in SATHYA SAI BABA in PUTTAPARTHI !!! The tens of millions

who've been going there for the last 68 years have clearly understood

that the SECRET OF LIBERATION ITSELF IS PRESENT THERE.
