Samsara (Worldly Life) is Fearful
One’s closeness to Baba was the resut of good deeds over many
births, and such a person was Nana Chandorkar.
He learnt many things from Baba.
He found his Samsara (Worldly life) to be like a fearful ocean.
The samsara appeared to him like an obstacle for spiritual progress.
He learnt this truth by practical experience.
In the year 1918, one day when Baba was alone, Nana Chandorkar said
to him, "Baba, I am finding the samsara very fearful.
My mind is not interested in the worldly affairs.
Somehow give me salvation from these attachments.
"On hearing this Baba smiled and said, "There is truth in what you
said. But the remaining is untruth and meaningless.
You are under the impression that by taking to forests, one can
escape from the trials and tribulations of the samsara.
But this is not correct. It is only an illusion, because wherever
you go, your body and mind are with you only.
They will never leave you but will be giving you some kind of
happiness.
Our past actions are the basis for our present troubles and
happiness.
They should be faced courageously and with tact, and you should
lead a family life in the proper way.
By getting away from samsara,one cannot attain happiness .
Everyone who proceeds in the spritual way will have to face all
these problems, and to think of vairagya (renunciation), as a
solution, is not correct."
This is the message of Sai Baba.
Jaisairam.
