Immense Is Sri Sadguru's Love

Aum Sairam

Immense is Sri Sadguru's love. Immeasurable is Sri Sadguru's love. Infinite is Sri Sadguru's love. Such metaphors aside, can anyone explain the love Sri Sadguru has for His children in such a way that it can be easily understood? Often, it is compared to the mother's love, for mother is one that is capable of loving her child in the most unselfish way, loving for love's sake and nothing else. However, true experiences of Sri Sadguru's love must be even beyond the above comparison. A little observation here will be able to explain this further. Although mother loves her child, a mother cannot love every other child nor can she treat every child as her own! Besides, one can see instances where a mother could hurt her own child. In the animal world, in a condition known as Infantophagia, a mother animal sometimes can devour her own offspring due to physiological reasons, for her own survival.

Mother's love is considered as the purest form of love in nature. Yet, the nature as most would know is still limited in its explanation of Sri Sadguru's love. The love of Sri Sadguru as somewhat closer to the love that sparkles in the eye of the mother as she glances at her new born for the first time, immediately after birth. Just for that one fraction of a moment, frozen in time, the mother experiences the love that would soon be different once the child starts crying and shows its own movements, in essence its own identity. The momentary love of the mother looking at the infant, as a part of her own self, is a remote comparison to love that Sri Sadguru has for His children.

Sri Sai Baba said that He would save His children even from the jaws of death. One would find such assurances of Sri Sadguru's protection an every stage of His children's lives. Blessed are we to know Sri Sai Baba as Sadguru, the Mother of Mothers, Father of Fathers, Guru of Gurus and the ultimate there is.
