Lifetime Teachings 6- BABA SAYS.....

Jai Sai Master!

We all search for something in life. When we are tired of fighting with situations due to various reasons, we start feeling depressed and then search for something elusive, called "happiness and peace". At those times, we generally turn to so called "spirituality" of today's world. With umpteen channels to go with and more than handfuls to choose from as Gurus (self styled gurus), we end up with someone. However, many of these Gurus, who are generally Jet setters unlike Sri Ramakrishna, Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi or Sri Shirdi Sai Baba, do not have time for any individuals and they have mass upliftment programs, which we keep hearing as Sibirs or Sakthipath. 
However, the Sadguru, never delivers enmasse. He, like a seasoned Doctor, delivers the right medicine in right dose depending on the individual's capability. Everyone is treated as separate to work on their samskaras as they prevail upon individual's thoughts. Even if one tries to walk on the right path, if the old samskaras are very strong, they will keep pushing that person from the path repeatedly and only a Sadguru can give the strength and right treatment to stay focused.

[The broad translation of the above is - The greatness of a Sadguru is to grant what one deserves or capable of receiving, based on their samskara.  Otherwise, whoever has read the holy books would have got moksha. It is never like that. ]



Many people flocked to the Holy man, Sri Shirdi Sai Baba, but none could get to reach the ultimate and He repeatedly said, "who is my disciple? I am not finding anyone like that here".  It is because of this reason, a human being, who has got the Golden Opportunity to be born as Human, must make use not to go back with more bad karma. Every human being has to strive to find a Sadguru, who can help them with right path. To find such Sadguru, we have to pray with utmost sincerity, and keep reading holy scriptures, like Sri Guru Charitra and Sri Sai Leelamrutam, ensure we stay in good company of people who are like minded and are aspiring for Sadguru, chant His name, to keep our mind focused on the Holy One. 

Jai Sai Master!!
