Vyasa Poornima as Guru Poornima

[SS91]

It was the year 1906.

The day was Vyasa Poornima in the month Ashada.

It was called Vyasa Poornima in recognition of Vyasa Maharshi,

who authorised the eighteen Puranas.

On the morning of this day, Baba called Kelkar,

Sathe’s father-in-law, and told him that this day was Guru Poornima,

when the Guru was to be worshipped.

He asked him to bring Shama and other devotees along with the puja

materials.

Dada Kelkar collected all the devotees and with the puja materials,

brought them to the mosque.

By then, Baba with this half-closed eyes was concentrating on

something.

 Noticing this no one had the courage to talk to him for fear of

disturbing his concentration.

After a while, Baba opened his eyes, looked at the devotees for a

moment and fell silent again.

Till then, everyone believed that Baba was the incarnation of God,

with divine and supernatural powers but no one had the thought to

worship Baba as their ‘Guru’.

Hence, they did not know whom they should worship as Guru and how to

worship, and kept quiet.

Knowing their thoughts Sai Baba taught them as follows:

"You are all worshipping me as a fakir with divine and supernatural

powers.

Some of you are believing that I am the incarnation of God.

Allah Malik hai.

I am only his servant.

I am like a father to you all.

You should benefit from me.

I have come into this world to divert your thoughts from materialism

towards spiritualism, and establish truth, righteousness, peace and

love in you and through you to the entire mankind, and bless them

with peace and happiness.

This is the goal of Sai Avatar.

If you worship me keeping me in a photoframe like other gods, you

will not benefit anything from me.

But you should consider me as your ‘Guru’ and surrender completely

to me and put into practice what all I teach you.

Your present actions only are the foundations for your future lives

and births.

You should all treat today’s Vyasa Poornima as Guru Poornima and

worship me as your Guru and make your lives happy."

jaisairam.
