Sai Baba and Guru

Aum Sairam

Selfless service of Guru is an essential gradient to attain Iparanirttia. Sri Sai Baba never gives updesh as is ordinarily understood or He never utters mantra in the ear of any devotee.

Surrender and Faith - Those who surrender to Sadguru Lord are not weak characters. They are on the contrary like a lion. In order to surrender at the feet of Sadguru, one has to get rid of his own false sense of egoism. Situation of self-surrender leads to losing one's own identity with a view to merging the same with the Sadguru. Draupadi raised her hands in the sense of total surrender and sought the help of Lord Shri Krishna, who extended the same to an unlimited length. Dushasan was tired of putting off the sari and failed to undress her ultimately and hence he gave up.

Once Sri Sai Baba told Radhabai Deshmukh "I am a beggar. Look here my Guru [Venkusa] was a great saint. He was highly merciful and he begged from me two pice. What he wanted was not metallic coin. He did not care even for gold but he only wanted Nishtha and Saburi i.e. faith and courageous patience. I gave these to him at once and he was pleased. He never blew any mantra into my ear. Make the Guru the sole object of thoughts and aims to attain paramartha, the supreme goal." The Lady [Radhabai Deshmukh] bowed and accepted the advice of Sri Sai Baba.

Remember Sri Sai Baba always with love, for he was engrossed in doing well to all and always abided in his self. All other Gods are illusory. Guru is the only God. If we believe in Sadguru, He can change our fortune for the better. If we serve Him nicely, we can get rid of Samsar. If we make Him out helmsman, we can easily cross over the sea of all pains and sorrows.

Sri Sai Baba says, "I look always to and provide for the welfare of the devotees, who worship me wholeheartedly with their mind ever fixed on me". Lord Krishna has also said the, the same in Shree Bhagwad Gita Let us all follow the above advice of Sri Sai Baba and attain moksha.
