The Magical "Sai"
The Magical "Sai"
by Sai-Saurabh
"Sal", the magical name that signifies and controls all the elements of this
cosmic universe, whether known or unknown to the common man, has to be
experienced. The beauty silhouetted in the name "Sal" has to be felt and
then believed. "Sai", the powerful weapon, the weapon of ultimate security,
faith, peace and success to the destination of self-realization.
The magic of chanting "Sai" (Nam Smarari)
Nam Smaran (I. e, repeatedly enchanting the Lord's name in one's heart) is
the most powerful action that takes one across the streams of life. This is
the best method to purify one's soul. This is the best technique for
strength and peace. "Sai" has said that if you adopt this behaviour then I
will do all your work myself and take you beyond the ocean of life and death
to attain moksha. What a wonderful name is "Sai"! Isn't It? Try chanting the
divine name and experience yourself.
The magic of writing "Sai" (Likhita Japa)
As one writes a thing on a sheet of paper, one realises that the extent to
which one is in volved is extremely increased because the heart, the mind,
the indiriyas -all are involved to a greater extent and hence the emotions
as far as the single pointedness of the mind is concerned is definitely
increased. Hence it is a very powerful weapon to attain peace. Don't be
lazy, try it!
The magic of speaking "Sai"
As one speaks "Sai" loudly, one realises that even though the mind is
wavering in its own wild thoughts, subconsciously, the person has the
satisfaction that consciously he is doing the ultimate thing. This gives a
divine feeling of satisfaction and Baba 's presence is felt undelayed if
called out lovingly.
The magic of singing "Sai"
"Bhajans" through music denote the ultimate "Bhakti". "Bhakti" after
surrendering one's self to the Guru (the link between God and human) is the
best and the most difficult method to be the closest to the Almighty.
"Music" does a magic on one's soul which increases us to a level of
spiritual enhancement and our sentiments may take a form of the flowing
river of tears which are the best gift for our "Sai", How lucky are we to
have chosen "Sal" who is our Samarth Sadguru - God Himself, isn't it?
The magic of looking at "Sai"
Why fear when I'm here
If you look to me I look to you.
These words are the ultimate which attract the beginner who wants to
discover "Sai". In this Kaliyug one is subjected to so many stresses which
arise from work, family money, our interests, (that are ultimately
destined), so just by looking at "Sai" the person is offering a prayer. How
simple indeed!
Not difficult at all. Look into those hypnotizing eyes of "Sai" and try
surrendering yourself at His feet to realise ultimately, that "Sai" (the
Guru) and you (the Bhakta) are not different and see how your life changes
as it changed mine.
OM SHRI SAI! SAI BLESS ALL!
HINTS TO ASPIRANTS
By Swami Ramdas
By surrender to the will of god alone you can realize him and become a
radiant instrument in his hands. Constant repetition of the 'Divine name is
the path that leads you to 'His supreme goal. 'Know that God is dwelling
Within you. By continued Sadhana you will be able to control your mind.
March onward boldly. 'May your heart be hummed with 'His light, love and
bliss.
'Japa prepares you for the highest yoga. 'The. Goal which 'Rarndas places
Before you is the same as the one which Sri Aurobindo does. There is
absolutely no room for conflict. So look upon him and the Mother as your
spiritual guides. True all saints and sages are the manifestations of the
One Supreme '-Reality.
'When you have accepted god as your protector, why do you give yourself to
anxiety? 'Rely completely on 'Him and bear all things patiently with His
name on you lips. His will workss always for the Best. Sufferings are in all
cases mind-made, fill the mind with His remembrance and you will be happy
wherever you are, whatever your situation. The Burden is not upon you. It is
upon Him.
Life Becomes sweet and free when it is in tune with God. To leave everything
to him and to depend upon Him all times is the secret of true peace, Your
present life itself is a fit vehicle for attaining this inner peace and
happiness.
