Sadguru

Aum Sairam

Das Ganu sought Sri Sai Baba for an explanation of a highly complicated metaphysical work, the Upanishad. Sri Sai Baba blessed him and said, "You need not be anxious, there is no difficulty about the matter, the maid servant of Kakasaheb Dixit will solve your doubts at Vile Parle, on your way home." Those who were present around thought that Sri Sai Baba was joking, but not Das Ganu. He knew fully well that seemingly meaningless utterances of Sadguru Sri Sainath Maharaj are nothing but utter truths and the most competent authority for any explanation is only Sadguru Sri Sainath Maharaj and none else.Faith in Sri Sai Baba grows as the sadhana intensifies, taking the seeker to different levels of perception. It can be said that such faith in most cases is just a relative measure of one's standing with his or her Sadguru Sri Sainath Maharaj. However, the highest stage of spirituality there can only be one truth one definition and one experience about it. "Many devotees are heard saying that they have 'faith in Sri Sai Baba', 'full faith in Sri Sai Baba' or are 'Surrendered'. Would one ask them as to why and how they got this faith for Sri Sai Baba, the general reply is that In their difficult times they prayed to Sri Sai Baba and got the required help and, therefore, think that Sri Sai Baba will help them when ever they desire to avoid painful situations or pray for desirable happenings. Some of them are even seen to criticize other devotees for not having as much faith as they have and thereby enjoy a sense of spiritual superiority as if they and not Sri Sai Baba have the right and capacity to pass such value judgments on such matters.

A seeker in his pursuit does encounter occasional glimpses of God's magnificence, but that does not completely make him competent to explain the Supreme to everyone. Unless all the samskaras vanish, the seeker cannot be considered as the one that is sought! Even the great souls that lived with Saint God during the golden age had to go through those phases whereas devotees such as Das Ganu had in their capacity to abide by the complete faith in Sri Sai Baba. Let us remember and offer our prostrations to the Sadguru Sri Sainath Maharaj who is the only competent.
