Aum Sairam
Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi is the epitome of reverence a guiding force who generates supreme faith and confidence among His devotees looking for salvation and in quest of coming out of the drudgery of living. As a divine mother He is saturated with love for those who seek Him. With His mission of making people about the divine consciousness and transcending the limits of mortal body, His teachings are guiding His devotees to the path of salvation. People are blessed who follow His teachings.
Among the teachings of Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi there are the cardinal principles of Sri Sai Path called "Shraddha" and "Saburi". Sri Sai Baba looks for these two qualities in His devotees. Here are the teachings and philosophies of Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi.
Shraddha - "Shraddha" is a Sanskrit word, which roughly means faith with love and reverence. Such faith or trust is generated out of conviction, which may not be the result of any rational belief or intellectual wisdom, but a spiritual inspiration. According to Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi, steadfast love in God is the gateway to eternity. Sri Sai Baba’s teaching, both direct and indirect explicate the significance of "Shraddha". Sri Sai Baba reiterates the spiritual guidance of Shri Krishna to Arjun - "Whosoever offer to Me with love or devotion, a leaf, a flower, a fruit or water, that offering of pure love is readily accepted by Me".
Saburi - "Saburi"; means patience and perseverance. Saburi is a quality needed throughout the path to reach the goal. This quality must be ingrained in a seeker from day one, least he looses his stride and leaves the path half way
Purity - For Sri Sai Baba it was not the purity of the body but inner purity that mattered. No amount of physical and external cleansing would serve any purpose if the man remained impure in mind and heart. Therefore, Sri Sai Baba cautioned His devotees not to make austerity as an end itself, lest they should indulge in physical mortification.
Compassion - Himself an epitome of compassion and love. Sri Sai Baba taught compassion among his disciples. Sri Sai Baba often told His devotees, "Never turn away anybody from your door, be it a human being or animal".
Complete Surrender to the Guru – Sri Sai Baba put Guru on a high pedestal of reverence. For Him Guru was the profound base of the path of devotion. Pointing to His physical frame, "This body is my house. I am not here. My Guru [Master] has taken me away". He asked for complete surrender to the "Guru".
Sai Baba’s Teachings through "Udi" and "Dakshina"
Udi - Udi or the sacred ash was produced from the perpetual fire called "dhuni" lit by Sri Sai Baba in Dwarkamai at Shirdi. Explaining the meaning of life He would refer to Udi and taught that like Udi all the visible phenomena in the world are transient. Through this example Sri Sai Baba wished to make His devotees understand the sense of discrimination between the unreal and the real. Udi taught the devotees discrimination or vivek.
