Baba, however, is not a mere worker of miracles.
He is a Samartha Sadguru.
He applies miracles or miraculous means to fill with faith and
gratitude the hearts of devotees.
Gratitude soon turns into love and then Baba’s real work is seen.
Baba purifies the hearts of all of the dross of low attachments and
their consequences, and gradually raises the devotees’ souls to
loftier and still loftier states of being, till they finally merge
into himself.
People begin with the notion that Baba is a kind provider of all
that they need and in fact resort to him to have their temporal
needs satisfied.
But they discover (at least many do) that Baba is after all their
Ishtamurthi, their own Rama or Siva, the God of their fathers who
has now taken a new shape to carry out the ancient divine plan of
the Universe, and that ‘God fulfils himself in many ways lest one
good custom should corrupt the world’.
OM SAI SRI SAI JAYA JAYA SAI!!!
Let us pray at the feet of Sai Baba who is the incarnation of all gods and protector of all, to show mercy on us, and increase our devotion towards him.
