There a No place for groups in a Spiritual Organization?
Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organizations are spiritually oriented set up, spread all over the globe. Swami used to proclaim, that any service activity taken up without spiritual practises, will only end up on personal ego, which will lead to groups. This is totally against the ideals of our beloved Bhagavan. Now, we are seeing this happening here and there.
Spiritual based seva activities eliminates personal ego. We lose our identity and we merge in the large ocean of Sathya Sai seva organizations. We are bound by strict discipline, as stipulated by Bhagavan. And yet, some devotees who happen to gain popularity across the world by some methods, try to project themselves as the saviour of the Organization. They do not realize that they are breaking the very basics of Spiritual discipline.
Such people who forms groups, in one name or other, feels that it is their responsibility to keep track of the functions of Sathya Sai Organizations. Simply by contributing some funds within their capacity, they feel like criticizing and auditing the Trust Activities. Once the funds are given, we should forget that we had donated. The funds so contributed, become the assets of Bhagavan and His organizations. Look at the innumerable such Divine organizations all over the world, like Shirdi Sai trust, Sri Tirupathi Balaji Trust etc. Millions and millions are offering Money and materials, and they forget having contributed at all. The donors do not claim ownership of such funds and nor do not make any question, as to, who is managing, how they are managing, or how do they behave or any such enquiries.
There will be automatic check points, as designed by Bhagavan. We are not to bother about this. Leave it to the WILL of our Bhagavan. When we accept Baba as God, we should also know that He is still in control of all events, whether we like it or not.
By creating various groups, some people or breaking the very core of Divine discipline.
I suggest such people should first, take advantage of them being Devotees of Bhagavan, and mind our own spiritual advancements. For Bhagavan, Organization, personnel and money matters do not matter at all. God arrives on the earth to guide us towards realizing our true self, and lead a life of LOVE And LOVE only. When feeling of groups surface, the very basics of Love is lost, and hatred and disliking develops. This just against the Divine Plan.
And the Divine plan is only, to infuse pure Love amongst all human beings, and among all devotees. And activities of such groups is just spoiling the very basics of Divine Plan of pure Love.
Let us all pray that Bhagavan forgives them, and bring them back to the Path of Pure Love.
With Love & Regards,
