Accepting Sri Sai As Guru

Aum Sairam

If the devotees of Sri Sai Baba have had some other Gurus previously, and so think that they are being unfaithful to them, if they treat Sri Sai as their Guru now, no such doubt need be entertained by them, since Sri Sai is the Guru of Guru’s, Samartha Sadguru King of Guru’s and yogis. He has powers to command the entire world and also to control the five elements. If any disciple of a Guru comes under protection of Sri Sai, the Guru will be pleased. Some Guru’s with an eye on the wealth and power of their disciples, will try to create some unpleasant situations with some concocted stories.

Sri Sai also was not for changing Guru’s. He always checked to see what type of disciple he was and under what circumstances he had left his previous Guru and come to him. There are a number of disciples who would worship a particular Guru or God for some time and if they did not gain anything, they would change their Guru’s or Gods. They would run to the Guru or God who fulfilled their wishes. Such persons are after material benefits and not spiritual advancement, being without faith and patience. When they came to Sri Sai, he would tell them, "What is required for you is not another Guru. If you cannot have undeterred devotion and gratitude towards your Guru, but come to me, no useful purpose will be served and you cannot benefit anything. Therefore, first of all you should learn how to serve your own Guru in the correct manner and do not keep changing your Guru." To those who approached Sri Sai and saw his greatness personally, and were unable to surrender themselves completely, our appeal to them: "Previously there was no Guru equal to Sri Sai. In future also we cannot get such a Guru.

Let us prostrate to this Sachidanand Samartha Sadguru Sainath, and request Him to make us understand this true Avatar, before we complete the Parayana of His Life History. We will also pray to Him to see that we have abundant devotion for Him with His devotion lasting our lifetime. When the life goes out of our body our kith and kin and material things do not come with us. We also pray to Sri Sai to be with us in our solitary journey and to give us moksha or higher form of life in the next birth and be with us in all the future births.
