Living In Harmony With Sri Sai Baba

Aum Sairam

Imagine that Sri Sai Baba has descended into the earth's consciousness and taken birth as a human being. Imagine that He has retained most of His divine qualities, but none of His magical or supra mental powers. How would have He lived? How would have He solved His day to day problems, dealt with people and conducted Himself in society or family? Imagine and live that way. Live the way Sri Sai Baba would have lived and conducted Himself on earth. Live the way He would have spoken to others, the way He would have behaved with others, the way He would have coped with adversity, the way He would have faced negative people and situations, and the way He would have had relationships with various people in His life and so on.

Whenever you have a problem or difficulty imagine how Sri Sai Baba would have solved the problem or conducted Himself. As you start measuring yourself against Sri Sai Baba you develop the urge to measure up to Him. Sri Sai Baba becomes your goal and your true ideal and you would be drawn to Him for ever.

It is not very difficult to visualize the life of Sri Sai Baba on earth as how He would have lived here amidst us like a man, not as a super human being but with all the limitations to which mankind is subjected to. It is not that Sri Sai Baba has never visited the earth and shown to us the way we should live. The purposes of His incarnations are but to show us the way we should live and conduct ourselves amidst difficulties.

So let us mold our lives in accordance with the divine values, with Sri Sai Baba as our imaginary role model, as our true ideal, as our goal on earth. Let us think like Him, act like him and live like Him. It is in the richness of our imagination and in the strength of our devotion that we can learn to follow Him truly and successfully.
