Part 4 - On the Wings of Thought
16. In quest of water to quench my thirst, I had been roaming around door to door all my life, but when I looked within me, I found ‘Gangotri’ - the very source of the Ganges. Now whenever I feel thirsty, I quench my thirst with the nectar within me. The need to search for water outside has ceased to exist.17. A number of devotees adopt ‘Sai’ as a prefix or suffix to their name. Let us think over: Wouldn’t it be better if we make Baba the ornament of our everyday conduct? May be if we do so, there shall be no need left for adding his name to ours. It has also been observed that some devotees do not hesitate to use this prefix or suffix to their name for their personal worldly gains and the additional responsibility which has devolved on them by adopting Baba’s sacred name to their own, they are unable to discharge.
18. In the olden times, so the scriptures say, the seekers would go to jungles or mountains in quest of the ultimate reality. Sitting in seclusion either in huts or in caves; they would carry out stern practices to realize the self. It is no longer necessary to do so. Sitting in the interiors of our dwellings, in this age of ‘Kaliyuga’, it has now become possible to find the truth and attain liberation. And our Master, Sai has made it further easier. He merely wants us to surrender to him heart and soul and to have ‘Shraddha’ and ‘Saburi’. The rest shall be His responsibility.
19. Truth eternal is Sai. Sai is beauty, Sai is Siva, Sai is Buddha, Sai is Purity Incarnate. Sai is not bound by any limitations and that very Sai is present (व्याप्त) in all the three universes and it is that alone we have to seek in the deep of our heart.
20. It is observed that out of all her children, the mother becomes more fond of a particular child. It is a natural phenomenon, may be for any reason. One particular child becomes the apple of the eyes of the mother. But our mother Sai is one such mother who though has innumerable children, but each one carries the feeling that Baba is his very own and his immeasurable ‘Kripa’ is raining on him.
Such is our Mother Sai! Even our imagination fails to assess the depth of its ‘Jholi’ filled with love and compassion. Every devotee feels that Baba is very close to him. Probably this is the reason for the devotee often losing the right track of bhakti. Baba’s love spoils him. Even then, Baba never ceases to bestow on him his benedictions. He, however, engages himself in slowly and quietly carrying out the transformation of this devotee. It is also a fact that, irrespective of the time taken, the devotee has to transform himself. Baba knows exactly when and what he has to bestow on his devotee. Our deliverance lies in the fact that we give up the habit of constantly asking from Baba and surrender to him completely.
