Limitations

Aum Sairam

The very skills, attitude, knowledge that one learns become a source of
hindrance for one's ability to embark on a spiritual journey and to
realize God. Human beings like any other thing in this universe are a
creation of Nature. Being caught in the illusion and the worldly
affairs, the soul gets lost. Mind and intellect pump up the ego. Thus
the "I" and "ME" clouds us and makes it difficult to see the reality.
One becomes a slave to the various senses and gets caught in
conflicting theories and concepts proposed by the Human race! Human
beings tend to become creators forgetting that we ourselves are a part
of nature's creation.

What eternal thing could we create as a species when we ourselves do
not survive too long? Nothing! Yet we base our lives justifying our
existence on worldly affairs and modern concepts of convenience and the
appeasement of ego! Scientists from all branches of science invent or
discover new insights to Nature's creation and how it works. The
creations and inventions that have thus far happened are nothing more
than God revealing a nature's secret through the scientist's thoughts!
Even the greatest scientists of all times give up after reaching a
point because Nature is unfathomable, can not be understood and can not
be perceived without divine help and interference! If that is so, then
what is our role and goal? Where did the world come from? Who created
it? How does it function? Such questions have been and continue to be
asked by intellects as well as ordinary persons since the creation of
this universe. The Supreme and divine soul, of which we are all but a
part, taught the purpose of Human life, its role, how it should be
lived, and its ultimate destination as well as the creation of this
universe through the ancient scriptures. In today's times, the ancient
teachings are neither understood nor practiced by an average person. It
is very difficult, although not impossible, to understand, perceive and
live these teachings in the times we live in.

Does the diligent following of a religion provide the answers? Path,
though it is, blindfolded at times due to our own selfishness
otherwise, could there any single life be lost in the name of religion?
Who provides the answers?

For this reason, the divine soul manifested itself as a common person
to teach the eternal truth. Composed of infinite love, infinite
knowledge, infinite compassion, infinite power, and infinite bliss "Sri
Sai Baba" came into our lives to lead the souls of his devotees out of
misery, pain and illusion to set them on the right path towards the
ultimate destination. Singing, reading, hearing, talking, preaching,
reflecting, contemplating, etc on the life and teachings of "Sri Sai
Baba" will awaken the soul and start to make it walk towards the right
path. Said Sri Sai Baba to His intimate devotee Nana, "Awaken the inner
self... you will see the magnificence". Let us all gather and sing the
praise of that Lord who will bring us all to the path to destination.
