Sai Baba’s Mission and Advice
Saint Ramadas (1608-1681) flourished in the 17th century
and fulfilled to a great extent his mission of protecting the
helpless meak against cows and Brahmins against the Yavanas viciously
powerful (Mohammedans or Followers of Islam), but within two centuries
after him, the split between the two communities -- Hindus and
Mohammedans widened again, and it is believed that Sai Baba came
to bridge the gulf.
His constant advice to all was to this effect.
God is the only One Almighty Master of All souls and never discriminates
while showering His Love on the souls who are all equals before
Him. He loves every soul irrespective of his/her vices or virtues.
"Rama (the God of the Hindus) and Rahim (the God of the Mohammedans)
are one and the same; there is not the slightest difference between
them; then why should their devotees quarrel among themselves?
You ignorant folk, children, join hands and bring both the communities
together, act sanely and thus you will gain your object of national
unity. It is not good to dispute and argue. So don't argue, don't
emulate others. Always consider your interest and welfare. The
Lord will protect you. Yoga, sacrifice penance, and knowledge
are the paths (means) to attain God. If you do not succeed in
this by any means, vain is your birth. If any one does any evil
unto you, do not retaliate. If you can do anything, do some good
unto other." Baba shall always support any truthful thought
or action.
This, in short, was Sai Baba's advice to all;
and this will stand in good stead both in material and spiritual
matters. BABA assured, without any discrimination, all the seekers
(MUMUKSHUS) His divine and unfailing support for material welfare
and spiritual elevation. There is no soul in the world who has
not experienced BABA'S instant support and protection in moment
of crisis.
Sai Baba as Satguru
There are many so-called Gurus, (imposters) who go about
from house to house with cymbals and veena in their hands, and
make a show of their spirituality. They blow mantras into the
ears of their disciples and extract money from them. They profess
to teach piety and religion to their disciples, but are themselves
impious and irreligious. Sai Baba never thought of making the
least show of His worth (piety). Body-consciousness, He had none,
but He had great love for the disciples.
There are two kinds of Gurus:
-
'Niyat' (appointed or fixed) and
-
'Aniyat' (unappointed or general). The
latter by their advice develop the good qualities in us, purify
our hearts and set us on the path of salvation; but contact
with the former, dispels our duality (sense of difference);
and establishes us in Unity by making us realize "Thou
art that" there are various Gurus imparting various kinds
of Wordy knowledge, but he, who fixes us in our Nature (Self)
and carries us beyond the ocean of wordy existence, is the
Satguru. Sai Baba was such a Satguru. HE always said, 'Words
create delusion (MAYA BHRAMA) But Company of Sat Guru (SATSANG)
imparts knowledge by removing ignorance. His greatness is
undescribable. If anybody went to take His darshana, he, without
being asked, would give every detail of his past, present
and future life. He saw Divinity in all beings. Friends and
foes, the virtuous and the vicious were alike to Him. Disinterested
and equal-balanced, He obliged also the evildoers. He was
the same in prosperity and adversity. No doubt, ever touched
Him. Though He possessed the human body, He was not in the
least attached to His body or house. Though He looked embodied,
He was really disembodied, i.e., free in this every life (MUKTATMA).
However, when enquired BABA used to mention 'VENKUSA' as His
GURU.
