Call Me To Shirdi

Aum Sairam

Shirdi mein mujhe bulaale re...
Jee karta hain mere Sai.. main Shirdi mein hee bas jaaoon
Lekin jab tak tu na chaahe.. main Shirdi main kaise aaoon
Shirdi mein mujhe bulaale re...
Shirdi mein mujhe bulaale re..

I wish I could come stay in Shirdi for ever and ever Oh Sai!
But, how could I? Unless you wish I could!
Call me to Shirdi my Sai....Call me to Shirdi!

Sri Sai Baba said, I draw to Me My man from far off, or even across the
seven seas, like a sparrow with a string fastened to its feet. He also
made it clear to him that if he were not Baba's man, he would not be
attracted to Him and given a darshan. Sri Sai Baba also said that He is
not the three cubits long body that lived in Shirdi but He will
manifest wherever there is true longing and devotion. The above
statements may appear to contradict unless one sees the real context in
which they are uttered or used. Realizing Sri Sai Baba in places other
than Shirdi is a true pursuit of Sri Sai Baba in the attempts to see
Sri Sai Baba in every being. However, visiting a pilgrim center such as
Shirdi is a recommended practice for a Saadhaka. It is a suggested that
every Muslim must do Haj at least once in his lifetime. It is also true
that visiting Babylon is one of the desires of most Christians.

The physical presence of a devotee in Shirdi, the taste of its water,
soil, and breeze, the perfumes of the air and the chanting of the Aarti
in the presence of so many other devotees has a magical effect.
Standing in Samadhi Mandir, in front of the piercing eyes of love and
compassion does away with the pain and suffering of the visitors with
one stroke. The assurances of material and spiritual wealth come to
reality. Once a devotee steps on the soil of Shirdi, his life is set on
a different course. One immense longing that a devotee leaves Shirdi
with is that he should return to Shirdi. The power of the magic soil is such.
