Lifetime Teachings 11- SAI MASTER SAYS.....

Jai Sai Master!

On the eve of Sri Gurucharitra Kritagnatarchana, it would be prudent to understand why we need to do this. In many places, the Granth, the holy book is treated as the very Lord, who stays with us and in our home. In Sri Guru charitra, it is also mentioned that the Sri Guru resides in the form of this holy book and it is important to constantly remind ourselves of this fact while doing parayana.

Lifetime Teachings 10- BABA SAYS.....

Jai Sai Master!

In Sri Sai Leelamrutam, we find that Kushabhau, Sathe and Hemadpanth reached a stage where they could be blessed by Sri Shirdi Sai Baba in the best manner, only after they did parayana of Sri Gurucharitra. Sri Vasudevananda Saraswati, Rangavadhuta and Nane Maharaj were all given directions and enabled to receive the blessings of their Guru to  become mahatmas, only after they did parayana of this holy book, Sri Guru Charitra.  After second avatar of Lord Datta, Sri Nrisimha Saraswati left this world, Namadharaka, who heard about HIS greatness through various leelas performed by the Lord, comes to Sri Kshetra Gangapur. There, Sri Nrisimha Saraswati appears to him as Siddha in his dream. When Namadharaka wakes up, Siddha yogi, appears to him in physical form and recites Sri Gurucharitra to him..

Sri Shirdi Sai Baba told many to follow this process and thus reiterated the point that this is the only way to find a Sadguru. As one reads this holy book, they become aware of dharma and start living in the way. Slowly their yearning becomes so great, that Sadguru comes to him as a mother comes to the child. Then that Sadguru takes the yearning disciple in to HIS fold and takes him in the path of salvation.

Importance of "Sri Gurucharitra - the holy book"

Ours is a wonderful creation. It is still being explored and understood using science which is rapidly progressing. Yet we are encountering more questions than answers in every sense as we dig deeper. Across the world, if one observes closely, there is the only other way of understanding this vast and mysterious creation- the Occidental way i.e.,  the scriptures and teachings of Great Souls help us to understand thees most fundamental questions:

1)      Nature of Creation and human being

2)      Nature of the ETERNAL TRUTH which can be called in many ways, which I will refer to as ALL PERVADING or GOD.

The human being, endowed with a beautiful instrument called “Buddhi” or “power to think”, has time and again tried to use it to gain supremacy over all other beings, objects and the way this nature functions, but has failed miserably. There are many proofs which show that some supranatural force acts decisively, whenever this buddi deviates beyond a threshold causing destruction to the society.
