Nine Modes of Devotion - Self-Surrender


It is a great boon to human life to know Sai philosophy and His Divinity. What we should do is to surrender to Baba and very lovingly plead Him to reveal the duty we are destined to do. Be it good or bad, victory or defeat, we have to accept them as great gifts of Sai. In order to get blessed by the Divine Love of Sai and reach His Feet, the path of self-surrender is the best one. Dikshit, a devotee surrendered his soul to Baba and proved his unflinching loyalty and devotion. It is absolute truth that those who completely surrender their souls to Baba will get rid of bad qualities and sorrows and attain liberation of soul.

When Baba commanded His devotees, Kaka Saheb Dikshit and Bade Baba to butcher a goat for testing their devotion, Bade Baba, though a Muslim, fearing sin, refused to oblige. But, the moment Kaka Saheb Dikshit obliged and raised the knife, Baba exclaimed, "Stop, being a Brahmin how will you butcher a goat"? Dikshit replied that the nectarine words of Baba were commands for devotees and that they were unaware of good or bad consequences. He replied very obediently "following Your command is our noblest duty". This instance is a fine example of abiding by Baba's words. For those devotees who surrender to God, nothing like "mine" remains. Baba shoulders the responsibility of a devotee whose mind is merged in Him .
