Simple and Perfect One

Aum Sairam

Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi was proficient in several Yogic practices and His accomplishments are still not completely deciphered. The missing years before the Lord showed up in Shirdi is yet to be accounted for. In fact, His simplicity was deceptively dissuading to even great saadhakas that approached Shirdi. The stories of Megha and Somdev are two such examples. However, myth shattered, these great men did not waste a minute and had good fortunes of having enlisted in His Kingdom. Rarely did Sri Sai Baba lead His followers into His physical self, be it the Dhauthi that dismayed some of the accidental onlookers or the proficiency in Shrimad Bhagavad Gita Nana had seen for himself. Abdul did mention that Sri Sai Baba used to recite Kalma and other versed in Urdu. He also depicts incidents where Sri Sai Baba chatted with Muslim scholars, although such events were rare in Shirdi and probably has not been always recorded... No Mantras chanted and no benediction pronounced. He did not prescribe any Asanas, neither had he approved fasting. Initiation may have a different connotation in spiritual world. But Sri Sai Baba's magic then and now has drawn several to His mystic self. Whether one would call this initiation or divine call, it is a fortune, a blessing to be revered. He is Rama the king, He is Krishna the thief [the Great one that stole butter], and He is Mohammed, the Prophet, and the Messiah Jesus. Let us on this holy day reaffirm our faith to the Simple One, and the Perfect One and contemplate on His self.
