Baba Tests us Only to Prove
Our Obedience
Service
means to abide by the divine commands and live with obedience. Whatever
commands God gives us, without questioning them, one has to obediently
follow them. The mundane and spiritual life of the obedient devotees
will be set right by God Himself. There would be many people who
have come to serve and they might serve as well. But, Baba used
to gauge their depths of obedience through some simple tests too.
Dikshit was an orthodox Brahmin. But, on Baba's command, he took
a knife to kill a goat. "Baba! Your words are both law and
binding on me". He did not think that for a good Brahmin like
him, killing the goat would be an act of sin. That is unquestioning
obedience. When the devotees are obedient in all earthly matters,
Sai, the Compassion Incarnate, would not only fulfil all their desires
but would lead them to the righteous path. Even then, the level
of our spiritual progress undergoes some tests.
Obedience corresponds
to our faith in Baba. We get spiritual treasure in proportion to
our obedience. We should not think as to why these tests are meant
for. The spiritual strength is matchless. We should be deserving
and need to prove our spiritual worthiness. In fact, the entire
universe is moving at the will and command of that Supreme Spirit.
We should abide by His words and prove our obedience.
