Scriptures Are Our Guide-Posts

After making a reading of scriptures like the Vedas and the Upanishads, we acquire spiritual wisdom with which we can live in equanimity both in weal and woe. To bear both pain and pleasure equally, we need to reach a spiritual state of equi-poise. Anantharao Patankar read many books and scriptures, yet he was restless in his mind and so he came to Shirdi and confessed before Baba that his bookish knowledge did not yield him peace of mind. He further added that the illiterate devotees of Baba were far better than him as they live in the cool ambience of Baba. Then, Baba explained, through Kelkar, that knowledge which is not coupled with sincere devotion, is futile. Though one may not be learned, but if one has faith and devotion for God, Baba's teachings will serve as guide-posts in life's journey.

There are times when solutions to our problems do not strike our minds. We start reading Sri Sai Satcharitra or any other scripture. A sentence in that book or a story narrated therein will suggest solutions to our problems. If we repose firm faith in Baba, His silent voice of wisdom will reveal the right solution. After Baba's samadhi, Vaman Rao resolved to become a renunciate and he heard Baba ordering him to change his name to 'Sai Sharan'. Even today, we come across many devotees who had personal encounter and communication with Baba.

Sai Baba

 

Sai Baba used to address "Dwarakamayi" as "Mother". Baba is like a Father to those who take refuge in Him. Baba is God, Preceptor, Father and the Holy Light which dispels the darkness in our minds. Parents are capable of not only providing physical strength but also spiritual strength. Though Mhalsapathy did not know the name of Baba, sensing the Divine Aura around, he addressed Baba for the first time, as, 'Sai! Please do come'. 'Sai' means 'saint' or 'swami'. The calling of the name 'Sai' by the great devotee Mhalsapathy was accepted by all and it became a permanent name. Nobody knew whether He had any earlier name or not. Sa means Sat or 'Truth' or Satya, Aayi means 'Mother' and Baba means 'Father'. It can be elaborated as union of the Purusha (Supreme Soul) with Prakrithi (Nature). The unique name 'Sai Baba' reveals that the Truth-Light as the Heavenly Father and the Divine Mother manifested at Shirdi.


Even the science of mantra says, 'Sai' means the 'integrated soul of Purusha and Prakriti'. 'Sa' is the Supreme Soul's Bijakshara (holy seed letter). 'Ee' is the holy seed letter of Cosmic Mother. On combining the two Bijaksharas, they become 'Sayee'. And, Baba means Father and God. Baba is the Divine Manifestation who holds within Him the love of biological parents who give human birth to us and the Preceptor and Protector of all.
