Message
for the Week : Guru - The Spiritual Light |
Guru is a highly spiritual, being free from the clutches of body and mind,
He is charged with pure spirituality. Unless a jiva comes into contact with such a being, his latent spiritual aspirations are not stirred up. The Guru is really a lighted candle that lights many blown-out candles. He can, by transmitting
His own life impulse, enliven others. Some feel that by the study of scriptures alone they can have spiritual light and need no Master for this purpose.
However books, are nothing but the records of the personal spiritual experiments and experiences of ancient sages, seers, prophets, and men of piety. The sacred books and biographies of the high-souled personages create a spiritual longing and inspire us with hope and courage. We may to a certain extent become acquainted with the broad principles of spirituality, but cannot learn their right import nor get the life impulse, both of which come from a living Master alone.
Life comes from Life as Light comes from Light. It is only an awakened soul that can rouse us from our deep slumber. We may read scriptures for ages upon ages and perform countless sacrificial deeds, but cannot have spiritual awakening and spiritual insight. Spirituality can neither be bought nor taught, but may be caught like any infectious disease from one who may himself be spiritually infected.
Truly speaking, the term Guru is not an appellation of any person. It signifies and stands for a dynamic power that works in and through a particular human form and is the ideal for us all. This is the power that helps in spiritual advancement. Like a floodlight
He floods the world with His spiritual Light, and one cannot see anything besides Light. The aspirants for spirituality gather around
Him like moths and make a holocaust of themselves in His august and holy presence.

Question
of the Week...Devotees Asked...Guruji Answered
|
Question
: In this mundane world full of complexities of life does a Sai devotee need to take support of astrology?
Answer
:
Astrologer can at best predict future in a limited way. Baba helps actively and actually. Once you have surrendered to Him He takes care, reduces pain and increases happiness and evolves the souls. Keep His teachings and life history in mind. See Him in happiness and unhappiness both. See Him in mundane and spiritual both. Allow Him to work on you by keeping Him always in your heart.

Devotee's
Experience : |
Contributed
by Munish
Dear Baba Devotes,
I have lot of experiences in my life where Baba helped me a lot. He is always with me with my family and everyone.
I came to know about Baba in 1992 when I took admission in Engineering College
Kopargaon. Still remember those days, Being close to Shirdi I was the luckiest person
After completing my Engineering, got a Job in Tata Infotech, Delhi with Baba's grace. On 3 Feb 2000, I was going to home in my motorbike. Suddenly while driving I lost my senses and my motorbike hit the electric pillar.
I fell down on pedestrian walk and found that my leg was broken in two pieces. I was not in position to call any one for help. Suddenly a man got down from bus and he put my head on his Lap, and arranged first aid medicines. Being an accidental case no one was ready to take me to the hospital. He called my landlord and they took me to nearby hospital. Then he disappeared and I didn't see him again. He was in the form of Baba who helped me.
My leg was operated and I was on complete bed rest for 5 months. That was worst period of my life, being a professional kept on thinking about my career all the time and most of people were saying that I would not be able to walk properly throughout my life. Even doctor said that they did their work now it's GOD who has to do his job. I was kept on praying, remembering
Baba all the time. Taking bhabhooti.
After seven months of my accident I was walking like a normal person. At the end of 8th month I was in
US. It was big surprise for me. During my worst period I never cursed God for all that happened to me but Kept on praying Baba and have faith on Him. As of today whatever I am, its only Baba's grace. He is always with me, with my family and everyone.
I want to convey to all SAI devotees that they must read "Shri Sai Satcharitra" at least once in their life or as frequently as they can, which will end up their worries and show them true path.
