Jai Sai Ram
Happy Baba's day to all
Here are few more experiences of Sai devotees with Shirdi Sai Baba .Jai Sai
Ram .
*
* *All Gods are none but Baba :*
Dear Manisha,
I would like to be anonymous and post here the real explanations Baba gave
me. Baba always convinced me that whichever God i see is no one but Him.
I have this feeling which is said as the truth by everyone associated with
Baba (in Sai satcharitra,many devotees and so many sai leela). *Baba is
Shiva.*

Sai Baba’s Sanction and Promise
As described in the previous chapter, Sai Baba gave His complete assent to
the writing of the Sat-Charita and said, "I fully agree with you regarding
the writing of Sat Charita. You do your duty, don’t be afraid in the least,
steady your mind and have faith in My words. If My Leelas are written, the
Avidya (nescience) will vanish and if they are attentively, and devoutly
listened to, the consciousness of the worldly existence will abate, and
strong waves of devotion, and love will rise up and if one dives deep into
My Leelas, he would get precious jewels of knowledge."
Hearing this, author was much pleased, and he at once became fearless and
confident, and thought that work was bound to be a success. Then turning to
Shama (Madhavrao Deshpande) Sai Baba said.
"If a man utters My name with love, I shall fulfill all his wishes,
increase his devotion. And if he sings earnestly My life and My deeds, him
I shall beset in front and back and on all sides. Those devotees, who are
attached to Me, heart and soul, will naturally feel happiness, when they
hear these stories. Believe Me that if anybody sings My Leelas, I will give
him infinite joy and everlasting contentment. It is My special
characteristic to free any person, who surrenders completely to Me, and who
does worship Me faithfully, and who remembers Me, and meditates on Me
constantly. How can they be conscious of worldly objects and sensations,
who utter My name, who worship Me, who think of My stories and My life and
who thus always remember Me? I shall draw out My devotees from the jaws of
Death. If My stories are listened to, all the diseases will be got rid of.
So, hear My stories with respect; and think and meditate on them,
assimilate them. This is the way of happiness and contentment. The pride
and egoism of My devotees will vanish, the mind of the hearers will be set
at rest; and if it has wholehearted and complete faith, it will be one with
Supreme Consciousness. The simple remembrance of My name as ‘Sai, Sai’ will
do away with sins of speech and hearing".
Different Works Assigned to Devotees
The Lord entrusts different works to different devotees. Some are given the
work of building temples and maths, or ghats (flight of steps) on rivers;
some are made to sing the glories of God; some are sent on pilgrimages; but
to me was allotted the work of writing the Sat Charita. Being a
jack-of-all-trades but master of none, I was quite unqualified for this
job. Then why should I undertake such a difficult job? Who can describe the
true life of Sai Baba? Sai Baba’s grace alone can enable one to accomplish
this difficult work. So, when I took up the pen in my hand, Sai Baba took
away my egoism and wrote Himself His stories. The credit of relating these
stories, therefore, goes to Him and not to me. Though Brahmin by birth, I
lacked the two eyes. (i.e. the sight or vision) of Shruti and Smriti and
therefore was not at all capable of writing the Sat-Charita, but the grace
of the Lord makes a dumb man talk, enables a lame man to cross a mountain.
He alone knows the knack of getting things done, as He likes. Neither the
flute, nor the harmonium knows how the sounds are produced. This is the
concern of the Player. The oozing of Chandrakant jewel and the surging of
the sea are not due to the jewel and the sea but to the rise of the moon.
Baba’s Stories as Beacon- Light
Light houses are constructed at various places in the sea, to enable the
boatmen to avoid rocks and dangers, and make them sail safely. Sai Baba’s
stories serve a similar purpose in the ocean of worldly existence. They
surpass nectar in sweetness, and make our worldly path smooth and easy to
traverse. Blessed are the stories of the saints. When they enter our hearts
through the ears, the body - consciousness or egoism and the sense of
duality vanish; and when they are stored in the heart, doubts fly out to
all sides, pride of the body will fall, and wisdom will be stored in
abundance. The description of Baba’s pure fame, and the hearing of the
same, with love, will destroy the sins of the devotee and, therefore, this
is the simple Sadhana for attaining salvation. The Sadhana for Krita Age
was Shamadama (tranquillity of mind and body), for Treta Age, sacrifice,
for Dwapara, worship, and for Kali (present) Age, it is singing of the name
and glory of the Lord. This last Sadhana is open to all the people of the
four varnas (Brahmins, etc.). The other Sadhanas, viz. Yoga, Yagya
(sacrifice), Dhyana (meditation) and Dharana (concentration) are very
difficult to practice, but singing and hearing the stories and the glory of
the Lord (Sai Baba) is very easy. We have only to turn our attention
towards them. The listening and singing of the stories will remove the
attachment to the senses and their objects, and will make the devotees
dispassionate, and will ultimately lead them to self-realization. With this
end in view, Sai Baba made me or helped me to write His stories,
Sat-Charitamrita. The devotees may now easily read and hear these stories
of Sai Baba and while doing so, meditate on Him, His form and thus attain
devotion to Guru and God (Sai Baba), get detachment and self-realization.
In the preparation and writing of this work, Sat-Charitamrita, it is Sai
Baba’s grace which has accomplished everything, making use of Me as a mere
instrument.
Motherly Love of Sai Baba
Everybody knows how a cow loves her infant calf. Her udder is always full
and when the calf wants milk and dashes at the udder, out comes the milk in
an unceasing flow. Similarly a human mother knows the wants of her child
and feeds it, at her breast in time. In case of dressing and adorning the
child, the mother takes particular care to see that this is well done. The
child knows or cares nothing about this, but the mother’s joy knows no
bounds, when she sees her child beautifully dressed and adorned. The love
of mother is peculiar, extraordinary and disinterested, and has no
parallel. Sadgurus feel this motherly love towards their disciples. Sai
Baba had this same love towards me, and I give an instance of it below: -
In 1916 A.D. I retired from Government Service. The pension that was
settled in my case was not sufficient to maintain my family decently. On
Guru-Pournima (15th of Ashadha) day of that year, I went to Shirdi with
other devotees. There, Mr. Anna Chinchanikar, of his own accord, prayed to
Baba for me as follows: - "Please look kindly on him, the pension he gets
is quite insufficient, his family is growing. Give him some other
appointment, remove his anxiety and make him happy." Baba replied - "
He
will get some other job, but now he should serve Me and be happy. His
dishes will be ever full and never empty. He should turn all his attention
towards Me and avoid the company of atheists, irreligious and wicked
people. He should be meek and humble towards all and worship Me heart and
soul. If he does this, he will get eternal happiness".
The question Who is this HE, Whose worship is advocated, is already
answered in a note on "Who is Sai Baba" in the prologue, at the
beginning
of this work.
Rohilla’s Story
The story of the Rohilla illustrates Sai Baba’s all embracing love. One
Rohilla, tall and well built, strong as a bull, came to Shirdi, wearing a
long Kafni (robe) and was enamoured of Sai who stayed there. Day and night
he used to recite in a loud and harsh tone Kalma (verses from Holy Koran)
and shout "ALLAH HO AKBAR" (God is Great). Most people of Shirdi were
working in their fields by day and when they returned to their homes at
night, they were welcomed with the Rohilla’s harsh cries and shouts. They
could get no sleep and felt much trouble and inconvenience. They suffered
in silence this nuisance for some days, and when they could stand it no
longer, they approached Baba, and requested Him to check the Rohilla and
stop the nuisance. Baba did not attend to their complaint. On the contrary,
Baba took the villagers to task, and asked them to mind their own business,
and not the Rohilla. He said to them that the Rohilla had got a very bad
wife, a Zantippi, who tried to come in and trouble the Rohilla and Himself;
but hearing the Rohilla’s prayers, she dare not enter and they were at
peace and happy. In fact, the Rohilla had no wife and by his wife Baba
meant DURBUDDHI, i.e. bad thoughts. As Baba liked prayers and cries to God
better than anything else, He took the side of the Rohilla, and asked the
villagers to wait and suffer the nuisance, which would abate in due course.
Baba’s Sweet and Nectar-like Words
One day at noon after the Arti, devotees were returning to their lodgings,
when Baba gave the following beautiful advice:-
"Be wherever you like, do whatever you choose, remember this well that all
what you do is known to Me. I am the Inner Ruler of all and seated in their
hearts. I envelope all the creatures, the movable and immovable world. I am
the Controller - the wirepuller of the show of this Universe. I am the
mother - origin of all beings - the Harmony of three Gunas, the propeller
of all senses, the Creator, Preserver and Destroyer. Nothing will harm him,
who turns his attention towards Me, but Maya will lash or whip him who
forgets Me. All the insects, ants, the visible, movable and immovable
world, is My Body or Form".
Hearing these beautiful and precious words, I at once decided in my mind to
serve no man henceforward, but my Guru only; but the reply of Baba to Anna
Chinchanikar’s query (which was really mine) that I would get some job
began to revolve in my mind, and I began to think whether it would come to
happen. As future events showed, Baba’s words came true and I got a
Government job, but that was of short duration. Then I became free and
solely devoted my self to the service of my Guru-Sai Baba.
Before concluding this Chapter, I request the readers to leave out the
various hindrances viz. indolence, sleep, wandering of mind, attachments to
senses, etc. and turn their whole and undivided attention to these stories
of Sai Baba. Let their love be natural, let them know the secret of
devotion; let them not exhaust themselves by other Sadhanas, let them stick
to this one simple remedy, i.e. listening to Sai Baba’s stories. This will
destroy their ignorance and will secure for them salvation. A miser may
stay at various places; but he always thinks of his buried treasure. So let
Sai Baba be enthroned in the hearts of all.
In the next chapter, I shall speak of Sai Baba’s advent in Shirdi.
Bow to Shri Sai - Peace be to all
