Myriads of Meanings

Aum Sairam

There are certain Specific sayings in Vedanta teachings. The purpose of them is manifold. One of the purposes is to challenge the logic of the ego. They create good food for thought. In the process of inquiry into these sayings, one comes to know the necessity of the way to reach beyond human intellect.

In Shri Sai Satcharitra, Sri Sai Baba asks us to see Him in every living being one encounters in daily living. Some times, when one meets difficult personalities to get along with, the teaching becomes a challenge to practice at ordinary level. It makes one to question to know the real meaning behind it. It starts to change the perspective of things one looks at. The teaching helps one to see beyond the superficial appearances. They cut down the anger or resentment feelings towards the seemingly difficult person or situation by making one to remember the presence of the beloved Sri Sai Baba in everyone. Every teaching of Sri Sai Baba is impregnated with myriads of meanings. The teachings are for everyone. The teachings are not theoretical or abstract. They are about who we are. They help one to know where one is stuck. They teach us how to relate ourselves to day to day experiences in our life. They promote the insight and bring transformation in us for higher in a subtle and gentle way. When one starts the attempts to practice the teachings, life becomes a path of awakening.
