  • What Am I To Sai ?

    I Am A Cog In The Wheel Of His Chariot ......
    I Am A Stray Leaf Which Is Blown By The Wind Of His Leela's.......
    I Am A Lump Of Grass Which He Makes Bow Down When There Is A Storm, So I Am Not Uprooted.....
    I Am A Mound Of Mud Which He Flattens With His Gentle Feet So That I Do Not Hinder Others......
    I Am A Clay Pot Whom He Has Made With His Own Hands And Is Still Moulding Me To Enhance My Form.....
    I Am A Pigeon Who Delivers His Messages .....
    I Am A Flower Which Has Fallen From A Tree And Landed At His Feet....
    I Am A Leaf From The Neem Tree Which He Has Made Sweet.....
    I Am An Erring Child Whom He Takes To Task, So That I Learn From My Mistakes....
    I Am His Creation And What He Wants Me To Be !

    Om Shri Sainathaya Namaha

  • Dear Well Wisher
         That is the biggest secret & it is for delivering this secret does Sai baba strive. But first one has to give up attachment to temporal things.
         Lord Krishna says to Arjuna,  " I am the only one existing. The appearance of Plurality (so many people) is only an illusion."

    Om Sai Ram

  • Means?

    Yes... but its so natural to get attached. I know He is within me. I always tell myself that. But still why do I long for love from others? I know that anyone loving me is God loving me... irrespective of who the person is. But still... why does my heart long for love only from a chosen few?

  • "Tattvam asi" means, "You are That".

    Here, "That" refers to God. Since God exists in everyone of us, it is said, "You are That" or "You are God".

  • The Ultimate Experience is when You Feel & experience that you are GOD yourself.
    It takes several years of complete surrender to Guru, to experience this...

    But once it is gained, You are GOD yourself. Actually everybody is, but it is hidden behind Avidya. Guru clears Avidya & causes the person to meet with his real identity. When that happens our "I" ness diappears.

    Om Sai Ram

  • Well-wisher,

    From what i think ... life is to be lived in stages ... and at each stage u go one level up on the ladder of spirituality ...

    At this stage in life, even though we may be able to realize in theory a lot of things that are discussed in spirituality, we may not be able to put them into practice .... and maybe thats because our mind is not able to comprehend how to put into action all these things that we read about ...

    And of course, some people are able to put these things into practice at an earlier stage in life than others ...

    Even Sai Baba conditioned his devotees depending on the level of spirituality that they were in .. he did not have the same method for every one ... it varied depending on the devotee ...

    So the best thing for each one of us to do is to accept the way we are, the way we think and believe ... but just keep in mind that we do not hurt others ... thats abt it ...

    So if the way we accept love or show love is to a chosen few .. then so be it ... if we try to put ourselves under certain spiritual restrictions that we are not able to practically follow .. then it will not serve either purpose ...

    So what ever way you choose to receive or give love, just continue to follow it ... At the same time we continue to strive to achieve the higher spiritual stage in a natural manner .... there will definitely come a stage in life when we automatically realize the meaning of all these words, and this stage may come in at different times for different people .... But when it comes, we will be at a better position to put into practice all these words ..

    Till then, to each his own ...

    Om Sai Ram ...

  • Well said rr ji.
        It is a matter of evolution & it happens slowly. but one thing is there. A strong desire & liking must be there for God, at all stages of spiritual evolution.

    Om Sai Ram
