Caste Discrimination

Aum Sairam

Om Sarvamatha Sammathaya Namaha. This is one of the names in Sai Astottharam. Sri Sai showed us that all the castes are the same. He always used to say Sab Ka Malik Ek. This can be shown by Sri Sai's interest in conducting Urus and Ram Navami festivals together. He never looked at the caste of the person; he looked for the sincere, unalloyed devotion in the person's heart. That's why the people of different religions are attracted by Sri Sai's teachings as they contain the essence of every religion. There are lots of varieties of fruits in nature. There is no problem because of the different varieties. But, the problem comes when one starts comparing one kind of fruit with another kind of fruit and starts judging that particular fruit only is superior and the other one as inferior. Likewise, the same example applies to different castes in the society. It is better not to look down or look up at any caste in particular. Every one is important and needed for the equilibrium in the society.

All of us have come from the one divine source. Truth is one, but wise men talks about it in many ways. The absolute truth is eternal for every one. It is not limited to one caste, one person or one religion. As many religions so many paths to God.

Allah Malik
