In the beginning, Hemadpant describes the samsara (visible world) by the
allegory of Ashvattha (Banyan) tree which has, in the phraseology of the
Geeta, roots above and branches below. Its branches are spread downwards
and upwards and are nourished by the gunas (qualities), and its sprouts are
the objects of the senses. Its roots, leading to actions, are extended
downwards to this world of men. Its form cannot be known in this world, nor
its end, its beginning nor its support. Cutting this Ashvattha tree of
strong roots with the sharp weapon of non-attachment, one should seek the
path beyond, treading which there is no return.
For traversing this path, the help of a good guide (Guru) is absolutely
necessary. However learned a man may be, or however deep his study of Vedas
and Vedangas (sacred literature) may be, he cannot go to his destination
safely. If the guide be there to help him and show him the right way, he
would avoid the pitfalls and the wild beasts on the journey, and everything
will be smooth-sailing.
Baba's experience in this matter, the story which He gave out Himself, is
really wonderful, which, when attended to, will give you faith, devotion
and salvation.
The Quest
Once four of us were studying religious scriptures and other books and,
being thus enlightened, we began to discuss the nature of the Brahman. One
of us said that we should raise the self by the Self and not depend on
others. To this the second replied that he who controls his mind is
blessed; we should be free from thoughts and ideas and there is nothing in
the world without us. The third said that the world (phenomenon) is always
changing, the formless is eternal; so we should discriminate between the
Unreal and the Real. And the fourth (Baba Himself) urged that bookish
knowledge is worthless and added, "Let us do our prescribed duty and
surrender our body, mind and five pranas (life) to the Guru's feet. Guru is
God, all pervading. To get this conviction, strong unbounded faith is
necessary."
Discussing in this wise, we four learned men began to ramble through the
woods in the quest of God. The three wanted to make the quest with their
free and unaided intellect. On the way a Vanjari (a man who trades in
certain things, such as grain etc. by carrying them on bullock) met us and
asked us, "It is hot now, where and how far are you going?". "To
search the
woods", we replied. He enquired, "On what quest are you bound?"
We gave him
an ambiguous and evasive reply. Seeing us rambling aimlessly, he was moved
and said, "Without knowing the woods fully, you should not wander at
random. If you want to walk through forests and jungles, you should take a
guide with you. Why do you exert youselves unnecessarily at this sultry
noon-time? You may not give out to me your secret quest; still you can sit
down, eat bread, drink water, take rest and then go. Be always patient at
heart." Though he spoke so tenderly, we discarded his request and marched
on. We thought that we were self-contained men and needed nobody's help.
The woods were vast and trackless, the trees therein grew so close and
tall, that the sun's rays could not penetrate through them; so we lost our
way and wandered here and there for a long time. Ultimately through sheer
good luck, we came back to the place from were we started. The Vanjari met
us again and said, "Relying on your own cleverness you missed your way; a
guide is always necessary to show us the right way in small or great
matters; and no quest can be successfully carried out on an empty stomach.
Unless God wills it, no one meets us on the way. Do not discard offers of
food; served dish should not be thrust away. Offers of bread and food
should be regarded as auspicious signs of success." Saying this he again
offered us food and asked us to be calm and patient. Again we did not like
this good hospitality and discarded his offer and went away. Without doing
any quest and without taking any food, the three began to move out. So
obstinate were they. I was hungry and thirsty and I was moved with the
Vanjari's extraordinary love; we thought ourselves very learned but were
quite strangers to pity and kindness. The Vanjari was a quite illiterate
and unqualified fellow and belonged to a low caste. Still he had love in
his heart and asked us to eat the bread. In this way he who loves others
disinterestedly is really enlightened and I thought acceptance of his
hospitality was the best beginning of getting knowledge. So very
respectfully I accepted the loaf of bread offered, ate it and drank water.
Then to! The Guru at once came and stood before us, "What was the dispute
about?" He asked and I told him everything that had happened. Then he
said,
"Would you like to come with me? I will show you what you want; but he
alone, who believes in what I say, will be successful." The others did not
agree to what he said and left him; but I bowed to him reverently and
accepted his dictum. Then he took me to a well, tied my feet with a rope
and hung me - head downwards and feet up - from a tree near the well. I was
suspended three feet above the water, which I could not reach with My
hands, nor which could go into my mouth. Suspending me in this manner he
went away, no one knew where. After 10 or 12 ghatakas (4 or 5 hours) he
returned and taking me out quickly asked me how I fared. "In Bliss supreme,
I was. How can a fool like me describe the joy I experienced?" I replied.
On hearing my answer the Guru was much pleased with me, drew me near him
and stroking my body with his hand kept me with him. He took care of me as
tenderly as a mother-bird does of her young ones. He put me into his
school; how beautiful it was! There I forgot my parents, all my attachment
was snapped and I was liberated easily. I thought that I should embrace his
neck and remain staring at him always. If his image were not fixed in my
pupils, I would like better to be blind. Such was the school! No one, who
entered it once, could return empty-handed. My Guru became my all-in-all,
my home and property, mother and father, everything. All my senses left
their places and concentrated themselves in my eyes, and my sight was
centred on him. Thus was my Guru, the sole object of my meditation and I
was conscious of none else. While meditating on him my mind and intellect
were stunned and I had thus to keep quiet and bow to him in silence.
There are other schools where you see an altogether different spectacle.
The disciples go there to seek knowledge and spend their money, time and
labour; but ultimately they have to repent. The Guru there boasts of his
secret knowledge and his straight-forwardness. He makes a show of his
sacredness and holiness, but he is not tender at heart. He speaks a lot and
sings his own glory; but his own words do not touch the disciples' hearts
and they are not convinced. So far as Self-realization is concerned, he has
none. How can such schools be of any use to the disciples and how can they
be benefited? The master (Guru) mentioned above was of different type. By
his grace, realization flashed upon me of itself, without effort or study.
I had not to seek anything, but everything became clear to me as broad
day-light. The Guru alone knows how the topsy-turvy Suspension, 'with head
down and feet up' can give happiness!
Among the four, one was a Karmatha (Ritualistic) who only knew how to
observe, and abstain from, certain rites; the second was a Jnani, who was
puffed up with pride of knowledge and the third was a Bhakta who
surrendered himself completely to God, believing that he was the sole Doer.
When they were discussing and arguing, the question of God turned up, and
they, depending on their unaided knowledge, went in search of Him. Sai, who
was Discrimination and Dispassion incarnate, was one of the four. Being
Himself Brahman Incarnate, some may ask, "Why did He mix with them and act
foolishly?" He did this for attaining the good of the public, and setting
them an example to follow. Though an incarnation Himself, He respected a
low Vanjari, by accpeting his food with the firm belief that "Food is
Brahman" and showed how those who rejected Vanjari's hospitable offer
suffered and how it was impossible to get Jnana without a Guru. The Shruti
(Taittiriya Upanishad) exhorts us to honour and worship mother, father and
preceptor, and to study (learn and teach) the sacred scriptures. These are
the means of purifying our minds and unless this purification is effected,
self-realization is not possible. Neither the senses, nor the mind and
intellect reach the Self. Modes of proof, such as Perception and Inference
will not help us in the matter. It is the grace of the Guru that counts.
The objects of our life such as Dharma, Artha and Kama are attainable with
our effort, but the fourth object, Moksha (liberation) can only he had with
the help of the Guru.
In the Darbar of Shri Sai, many personalities appear and play their part;
astrologers come and give out their predicitions; princes, noblemen,
ordinary and poor men, Sannyasis, Yogis songsters and others come for
darshan. Even a mahar comes and, making a Johar (his salutation), says this
Sai is the Mai-Baap (True parents), Who will do away with our rounds of
births and deaths. So many others such as Jugglers, Gondhalis, the blind
and the lame, Nath-panthis, dancers and other players come and are given
suitable reception. Biding his own time, the Vanjari also appeared, and
played the part assigned to him. Let us now revert to the other story.
Fasting and Mrs. Gokhale
Baba never fasted Himself, nor did He allow others to do so. The mind of
the faster is never at ease, then how could he attain his Paramartha (goal
of life)? God is not attained on an empty stomach; first the soul has to be
appeased. If there is no moisture of food in the stomach and nutrition,
with what eyes should we see God, with what tongue should we describe His
greatness and with what ears should we hear the same? In short, when all
our organs get their proper nutrition and are sound, we can practise
devotion and other sadhanas to attain God. Therefore, neither fasting nor
overeating is good. Moderation in diet is really wholesome both to the body
and mind.
One Mrs. Gokhale came to Shirdi with an introductory letter from Mrs.
Kashibai Kanitkar (a devotee of Baba) to Dada Kelkar. She came to Baba with
a determination to sit at Baba's Feet observing a three days fast. The day
previous, Baba said to Dada Kelkar, that He would not allow his children to
starve during the Shimga, i.e., Holi holidays, and that if they had to
starve, why was He there? Next day when the woman went with Dada Kelkar and
sat at Baba's Feet, Baba at once said to her, "Where is the necessity of
fasting? Go to Dadabhat's house, prepare the dish of Puran POlis (wheat
rotis with gram-flour and jaggery), feed his children and yourself too."
Shimga holidays were on. Mrs. Kelkar was then in her menses and there was
nobody to cook in Dadabhat's house. So Baba's advice was very timely. Then
Mrs. Gokhale had to go to Dadabhat's house and prepare the dish as
directed. She cooked that day, fed others and herself. What a good story
and how beautiful its import!
Baba's Sircar
Baba gave a story of his boyhood as follows:- "When I was a youngester, I
was in search of bread and went to Beedgaum. There I got embroidery work. I
worked hard, sparing no pains. The employer was very much pleased with Me.
Three other boys worked before Me. The first got Rs. 50/- the second Rs.
100/- and the third Rs. 150/-. And I was given twice the whole of this
amount, viz. Rs. 600/-. After seeing my cleverness, the employer loved me,
praised me and honoured me with a full dress, a turban for the head and a
shell a for the body, etc. I kept this dress intact withoutusing it. I
thought that what a man might give does not last long and it is always
imperfect. But what My Sircar (God) gives, lasts to the end of time. No
other gift from any man can be compared to His. My Sircar says "Take,
take," but everybody comes to me and says 'Give, give.' Nobody attends
carefully to the meaning of what I say. My Sircar's treasury (spiritual
wealth) is full, it is overflowing. I say, "Dig out and take away this
wealth in cartloads, the blessed son of a true mother should fill himself
with this wealth. The skill of my Fakir, the Leela of my Bhagwan, the
aptitude of my Sircar is quite unique. What about Me? Body (earth) will mix
with earth, breath with air. This time won't come again. I go somewhere,
sit somewhere; the hard Maya troubles Me much, still I feel always anxiety
for My men. He who does anything (spiritual endeavour) will reap its fruit
and he who remembers these words of Mine will get invaluable happiness."
Bow to Shri Sai - Peace be to all

Dear all,
Happy Baba's day
One more drop in the ocean of Baba's leela through this website .Anonymous
devotee shares her journey from childhood till now under the blessing of
Shri Sai Baba and her feelings with all of us. .Jai Sai Ram .
Om Sai Ram Manisha Didi ,
This is my second experience to this wonderful blog of yours.You are a
special child of Baba who chose you for bringing faith and devotion to all
devotees across the world .
One who is facing problems or suffering due to their bad karma, go through
the devotees experiences in the website and they will experience a strong
feeling that He is their out to help them . I am one of them who has utmost
faith and love for Baba but sometimes our faith gets shattered due to
innumerable worldly problems but still I feel we can never leave Baba as He
loves us immensely.
Manisha Didi, I wish to keep my experience as anonymous and please feel
free to edit where necessary. I am aware of Sai Baba since my childhood but
I only used pray Him like any other Gods without much attention or focus..
My life changed upside down with the sudden death of my father at a tender
age of 13.
