Om Sairam

Having seen the photo of Baba walking at His divine Samadhi it is clear that Baba is everywhere and more prevalent than He has been in His mortal coil. Nothing can change the belief, faith and love we the devotees have for our Lord. Baba has done what no government on earth today has ever done for humanity. He has served the needs of humanity selflessly for 70 years. He has detached Himself from His human family at a tender age of 14 to guide, advise, bless and heal all those in need of His blessings. He has taught the world to “Love All and Serve All”. His simple quotes have transformed the hearts of devotees throughout the globe. “Help ever, hurt never” and “ Hands that help are holier than lips that pray” are but a few powerful slogans that became mantras from the Lord Himself. With Baba leaving His mortal coil , He is not limited to be present in a  specific place. At Prashanti Niliyam where many thousands of devotees have gathered on a regular basis to see Baba in the physical form, He did not want to disappoint His devotees in any way. He made His presence there to see to the wellbeing of all who  visited His divine abode. If devotees from foreign countries made the trip to Prashanti Nilayam and Baba was not present, they would have been sad and disappointed. Now that Baba is in a spiritual realm, He is not limited to space , distance or time. He can be at many places at any time. Devotees have seen Him in places where He has not physically been during His human existence. Every day someone, somewhere will experience His divine omnipresence. This is one of the unique qualities of God who can manifest Himself in different places at the same time. He still visits devotees in His previous form of Shirdi Sai Baba even today. To many of us He appears as Sathya Sai Baba and in the years to come as Prema Sai Baba. All names and forms are one and all names and forms are His. Looking at photos of the Muslim devotees who have visited Prashanti Niliyam during Ramadan recently, I am reminded of a prophecy Baba has made and is becoming a reality today. Let us all keep the faith, devotion and love and let us serve Him in serving others.

Svako bi trebao njegovati dobre misli i izbjegavati loše osjećaje.

Gospod ne odbacuje nikoga. On ne zavidi nikome. On nema loš osjećaj prema nikome. Niti ima favorite. Milost koju dobivate je rezultat vaših vlastitih osjećaja. "Bhaavaatheetham Thriguna Rahitham" (Gospod je iznad osjećaja i karakteristika). On je "Ekam Sathyam Vimalam Achalam" (jedini, istina, čist, postojan). On je "Sarvadhee Saakshibhuutham" (vječni svjedok u svim umovima). Kada se bhakte danas žale zašto ih Bog na razne načine kažnjava, oni ne shvaćaju da to nije Bog koji ih kažnjava. Njihovi vlastiti strahovi i maštarije su uzrok njihovih problema. On sam je pravi bhakta koji prepoznaje da patnja koju osoba prolazi je posljedica vlastitih loših misli i postupaka.

Pobožnost ne poziva na napornu duhovnu praksu ili strogu disciplinu bilo kojeg oblika. Nema potrebe za obavljanjem intenzivne pokore ili vjerske žrtve (Yajnas). Jedini jednostavan i siguran načni za obične ljude da razumiju Gospoda, bez obzira na kastu, nacionalnost, spol ili neku drugu kvalifikaciju, su intenzivna pobožnost i ljubav prema Gospoda. Tamo gdje je duboka vjera, tu je i intenzivna ljubav. Tamo gdje je ljubav, tu je i ozbiljnost (Shraddha). Kroz ozbiljnost, dobivamo više znanje (Jnana). Ovo znanje omogućuje prakticiranje duhovnosti. Pastirice (Gopikas) su primjer toga; one su iskusile konstantnu prisutnost Gospoda u i izvan sebe. One su pokazale da je takva uzvišena ljubav moguća, pa i za obične osobe sa malo znanja o spisima ili duhovnim disciplinama i pokazale nerazrješivu vezu između Gospoda i pojedinca.

Ljudski život ispunjen je usponima  i padovima, radosti i tugom. Ova iskustva su namienjena da služe kao putokazi za čovjeka. Život bio blag ako ne bi bilo iskušenja i poteškoća. Upravo te poteškoće izvalče ljudske vrijednosti u čovjeku. Ne možete dobiti sok iz šečerne trske bez drobljenja. Ne možete pojačati sjaj dijamanta bez rezanja i puno brušenja. Morate odbaciti svoju sitničavost i razviti širokogrudnost njegujući ljubav. Jedino tada kada prolazite razne poteškoće, možete iskusiti slatkoću blaženstva  samospoznaje. Kada prevladate poteškoće, sigurno ćete iskusiti Božanstvo.
