Words of Sathguru SaiBaba!

புறச்சடங்குகள்

​

பக்தியுடன் சமர்ப்பிக்கப்பட்ட ஒரு பூவையோ ஓர் இலையையோ பாபா அன்புடன் ஏற்றுக்கொள்கிறார். அதுவே கர்வத்துடன் அளிக்கப்பட்டால் தலையைத் திருப்பிக்கொண்டு போய்விடுவார். சச்சிதானந்தக் கடலாகிய அவருக்குப் புறச்சடங்குகள் முக்கியமா என்ன? ஆயினும் பக்தியுடனும் விசுவாசத்துடனும் எது அளிக்கப்பட்டாலும் அதை சந்தோஷமாக பாபா ஏற்றுக்கொள்கிறார்.

Rituals

Baba accepts with Love if we offer any flower or leaf with devotion. If the same is offered with ego, He turns His head and moves from there. Are these rituals important for Him who is like an ocean? Still, He happily accepts anything offered with devotion and faith.

 

God is the Infinite One



God assumes countless forms to take care of His Creation. God, as the sun, showers His light in the day and appears as the moon in the night and soothes us by his cool moon-beams. Likewise, God incarnated in many forms to set mankind on the path of righteousness. God descended to Shirdi in the human form to teach universality of religions, the brotherhood of mankind and by the Power of His Divine Light, Baba drew many a lost sheep into His Love-Fold and laid the foundation for the moral re-construction of man. Our lives get blessed as we adore the incarnations of God. Gangagir, a saint, first proclaimed, when he saw Sai as 'Blessed is Shirdi. It got the precious jewel'.

A mystic of Indian state, Syed Jalaluddin pointed his finger at the sun and asked Ganashyama to see his Guru in the sun. To his utter delight, he could see Sainath in the orb of the sun. Sri Rama Maruthi Maharaj adored Baba as his Guru and as big brother. When Santhavan Maharaj was about to commit suicide as he could not progress in his spiritual practice, Baba averted his suicide and enlightened him. Saint Vasudeva Swamy adored Baba as his elder brother and sent a coconut offering through Pundalika Rao to Sainath. The Omnipresent God, thus, assumes many forms to guide and put His erring children on the divine path to righteous and joyous living. ​

 

பாபாவின் உதீ

​

மஹானுபாவரான சாயி மஹராஜைத் தவிர வேறெந்த நிவாரணமும் உமக்கு இல்லை. முழுமையான விசுவாசத்துடனும் பக்தியுடனும் நீர் பாபாவின் உதீயை ஏற்றுக்கொண்டால், அது தன்னுடைய சக்தியைத் தானே வெளிப்படுத்தும். பக்திபா(BHA)வத்துடன் உதீயை அணுகவும். பிறகு அது விளைவிக்கும் அற்புதத்தைப் பார்க்கலாம். அது உடனே உம்மை இன்னல்களிலிருந்து விடுவிக்கும். உதீயினுடைய இயல்பான குணம் இதுவே.

 

Short And purposeful life is better than
A worthless long life



Life is like a water-bubble. But philanthropic pursuits and prayers to God would direct us to reach Him. This mundane world may end up, but the Will of God is eternal. All the external embellishments are momentary, except the invisible and eternal Omnipotent Universal Power of God. The cycle of birth and death recurs as per the divine will. Therefore, every individual must lead a purposeful life, love everyone and spend time in Godly thoughts. "Loving neighbors is virtue, harming others is sin", is the message one finds in the scriptures. In a bid to save Sita, bird Jatayu fought with Ravana and sacrified its life. Though Ravana lived a long life, he met a ghastly end. The short-lived life of Jatayu is thus an example of a noble life of self-sacrifice for a better cause rather than living a long, worthless life.

One has to totally surrender to God instead of wasting time to fulfil worldly pleasures. A little bit of service we render will be priceless in the eyes of God. A short-lived, purposeful life is far better than a worthless, long life. One should not count the years one lived, but how the years were spent. Serving the needy and compassion for one and all would draw us more closer to God. Better to live like a swan for a short span rather than a long-living crow.​

 

முழுப்பாதுகாப்பு

​

செயல்களின் பலனை துறந்துவிட்டவர், ஸங்கல்பத்தையும் தியாகம் செய்துவிட்டவர் பாபாவினுடைய முழுப்பாதுகாப்பை அனுபவிக்கிறார்.

(ஸங்கல்பம் என்பது நான் இந்த காரியத்தை செய்யப்போகிறேன் என்று செய்யும் தீர்மானம். எல்லாம் பாபாவின் செயல் என்ற மனோபாவம் வளர வளர, ஸங்கல்பம் படிப்படியாக விலகிவிடும்.) - ஸ்ரீ சாயி இராமாயணம்.

Complete Safety

Those who give up the fruit of various act, sacrificing their oath will experience complete Safety in Baba's shelter.

(Sankalpam means taking an oath that one will do something for sure. When a feeling of Faith in Baba increases, Sankalpam will automatically deviate.) - Sri Sai Ramayanam.

 

True Love Never Counts Faults of Others



God is an embodiment of Love. The power we draw by preserving the Divine Love in our hearts can be made use of to love and care for others as we do for ourselves. It is not a great thing to reciprocate to the one who helped us. But it is, indeed, great to help the one who caused us harm. This is the ideal of Baba’s love. It bears ample testimony to our divine love when we lend a helping hand to the solitary and desperate one who is enmeshed in troubles and sufferings, despite the fact that he once caused us great harm. How shameful would he feel when the very person whom he harmed comes forward to his rescue! What a sea-change would he get in himself? How much sense of gratitude springs in his heart? They cannot be put in words.

Once the feeling of gratitude wells up in us, it will soothe our hearts. To inculcate such feelings in devotees, God incarnated on earth in the human form of Baba. He taught His devotees to treat everyone with equity, not to find fault with others, forget the harm others did and to see God in all beings. Baba would shower His endless love and grace on those who follow His love ideal and brings them closer to His heart. We should also cultivate that spirit of love. True love in us helps those who caused us harm. That, indeed, is the Divine Love, which never counts other's faults.​
