Dear All,
Sairam.
A good mail.
RELY ON SAI ALONE
Our love for Lord Sainath should be whole-hearted. Then it will banish the feeling of loneliness and gradually diminish our dependence on human relationships. Ultimately, the companionship of Shirdi Sai alone is dependable.
It is right that we love others, but our reliance should not be on human beings, but on Sainath. Anyone else we cling to, we lose. May be it is because the Lord wants us to know that if we wish for Him, our attention to Him must be single-minded. It is wonderful to pine for the one divine beloved of our souls; wonderful to utter Sai Name. Then He is sure to respond.
In Arabia , there was a great saint know as Ibn-Al-Arabi. Once he sat down facing the Kaba. After a long time he turned round happily and demanded his supper, which he received and ate very heartily. When he was asked aobut it, he told : “I declared to God that I would neither eat or drink til lthe man imprecating me was pardoned. I recited “LA ILAHA ILLA ALLAH’ seventy thousand time till God pardoned him.
Whether it is agreed or not, that fact is that Allah who is the MALIK of ALL CREATION has always listened to the prayers and demands of the saints and pardoned the sinners. The saints intervene on our behalf and pray to the most merciful Allah to forgive us and in turn Allah very gladly grants their request. Shri Sai Baba was one such beloved saint.
Sai Baba has clearly told that the person who thinks that Baba is in Shirdi only has not at all understood him. Baba’s mortal body has disintegrated into its original constituents like air, ether, water, earth etc. But the real Baba who is the great invisible force still continues to help people in mysterious ways even after His “Mahasamadhi”. He is active as before taking care of His children.
Sainath is the divine channel through which the beloved Lord’s wisdom and mercy flow. Like a mother bird that pushes the fledgeling out of the nest so that it can learn to fly, the Gurudev Sai Maharaj forces the devotee to establish his own relationship with Almighty. For the same reason, Sainath takes away from the devotee every human support to awaken awareness about Him, until the devotee comes to the ultimate realization : “Sai is my strength. Sai is my Friend. Sai is my beloved, my only one. When He is absent from me, I am bereft of everything. I am a beggar. When he is with me, I am filled with love and joy ; I am filled with courage and strength.
Dear Sai brothers and Sai sisters: If we go to human beings to find divine solace, divine comfort, we may for a while receive a little happiness and contentment, but sooner or later the Lord takes those props away. We have to rely on Sainath alone. He alone is ever lasting, so He wants us to e strong in our faith in him.
Sai, please give my Anjan back to me.
Regards
Jaya.
