Pranam Baba ji!
I too do not agree totally with what Mr / Ms.Posting has expressed since it is not that practical way of approaching. But, I have few lines to add to this post.
This is an open forum and every member can freely express their opinion.
But, attacking at personal levels and mockery is not to welcomed.
I appeciate the administration to have deleted those objectionable posts which I saw hardly few hours ago.
If we do not agree with others opinion, we have always ways to express or condemn but not by abusing anyone personally.
Then we can not call ourselves Baba's devotees.
I request the administration to delete the topic on 'love marriages..." too since the topic is bringing made this divine forum almost a CHAT ROOM. Typing something and adding a mere 'sairam' should not be called something done in the divine name "sai".
A small passage from Sai Satchrita:
Sai Baba required no special place, nor any special time for giving instructions. Whenever any occasion demanded, He gave them freely. Once it so happened that a Bhakta of Baba, reviled another behind his back, before other people. On leaving aside merits, he dwelt on the faults of his brother, and spoke so sarcastically, that the hearers were disgusted. Generally, we see that people have a tendency to scandalize others, un-necessarily; and this brings on hatred and ill-will. Saints see scandal, in another light. They say that there are various ways of cleansing or removing dirt, viz. by means of earth, water and soap etc., but a scandal-monger has got a way of his own. He removes the dirt (faults) of others by his tongue; so in a way of obliges the person, whom he reviles and for this he is to be thanked. Sai Baba had his own method of correcting the scandal-monger. He knew by his omniscience what the slanderer had done and when He met him at noon near the Lendi, Baba pointed out to him a pig that was eating filth near the fence and said to him - "Behold how, with what relish it is gorging dung. Your conduct is similar. You go on reviling your own brethren to your heart's content. After performing many deeds of merit, you are born a man, and if you act like this, will Shirdi help you in any way?" Needless to say, that the Bhakta took the lesson to his heart, and went away.
