FROM SHRI C.B. SATPATHY'S MESSAGE
……“The path towards
the Sadguru is the real path, more so in this age of conflicts,
contradictions and acute materialism. As Swami Vivekananda
said like all rivers leading to the sea, all the paths
that men take lead to Him, the God eternal. The paths
that are mostly adopted by the seekers are Rajyoga, Gyanayoga,
Karmayoga, Bhaktiyoga, Hathayoga, Layayoga, Nivriti Marg,
Pravriti Marg etc. There are even Avadhootas, Kapalikas,
Aghoris and many other types of seekers. Various religions
have different approaches. In this multiplicity of approaches
towards God realization, there has to be something common
and universal that must be all pervading. The seeker of
this universal path makes spiritual progress with comparative
ease.
Sitting in Shirdi
Masjid, Baba said that there are many paths, but one of
the paths leading to God is through the Dwarkamayee. When
one analyses how Baba led thousands of people towards
God realization at Shirdi a certain pattern is discerned.
The basic principles of the Sai path are based on the
existence in physical form of a perfect being known variously
as a Perfect Master a Sadguru or a Qutub as called by
the Sufis. A Qutub simply means an axis, a pivot around
which others, both living and non¬living, revolve.
The Perfect Master, having himself experienced different
stages of evolution including that of man, has at last
reached the stage of God. However, those among these perfect
beings, who, out of infinite compassion, make the greatest
sacrifice of not enjoying the blissful state of God but
incarnate on earth in a human body to serve the imperfect,
suffering humanity, are called the Perfect Masters. As
Meher Baba has said, at any point of time there are five
Perfect Masters on earth in embodied form. In my view
they are possibly more in number
When in human body,
they act as both human beings and Gods. As Gods they have
infinite power, infinite knowledge, infinite happiness
and infinite existence. Like God they are Omnipotent,
Omnipresent and Omniscient and enjoy the powers of the
Almighty. They share their power, knowledge and pleasure
with millions of human beings by certain methods unperceivable
by human beings and are known as Leelas or divine miracles.
All miracles are based on the laws of nature. Only one
has to know, experience and master them. All the elemental
and subtle forces of nature like fire, water, air etc.,
on earth, defined as deities by the Hindus, work under
their command or wish. As Gods they see everything in
themselves and themselves in everything. So they serve
everyone without any differentiation as if they are serving
themselves. They see God in everyone even though others
may not be able to see God in them. They give infinite
love to others and take infinite pain for others. Once
any human being or any species is linked with them in
any manner, they ensure that they are evolved, life after
life, till they merge with God from where they came. This
ultimate stage of evolution is ordinarily known as Mukti
or Moksha.
These Perfect Masters
alone are capable of leading human beings to God realization.
They follow what is common and universal in all religions
i.e. humanism based on love. Out of love they not only
take care of the spiritual evolution of the devotees but
also their temporal requirements. Once one has surrendered
to them they look after all his needs as a mother would
do for a child. They can go to any extent, even to sacrifice
their human body; to protect their children. That’s
what Baba did for many as can be read in Shri Sai SatCharitra
and as experienced by many. To develop closer and closer
links with Him, one has to patiently develop faith in
Him even under the most trying circumstances. And also
to develop the qualities of humility, sacrifice, tolerance
and steadfastness in devotion and actions that are desired
by the Sadguru. One will evolve earlier than others worshipping
too many deities if he follows this path of Guru. Baba
used to give visions to many people in the form of their
deities like Hanuman, Ganesh etc., which convinced them
that there is no difference between Baba and any other
deity or even God. One can therefore, at the first stage,
try to see all deities in Baba, and worship Him in the
method in which other deities are worshipped. In short,
one should try to see and seek everything in and from
Baba. This path may be difficult at the initial stage
but can certainly be achieved with steadfastness and faith
in Baba. So let us try.”…….
FROM "LIFE OF SAI BABA" BY NARASIMHA SWAMI
……“Regarding birth of
a child, death of son-in-law, etc., about which Chandorkar
was anxious to make Baba work on his behalf, Baba declared
that they were the result of previous karma and could
not be altered. In a sense that is true. Certain births
and certain deaths are all fixed by series of antecedent
events, but yet Baba is able to mould 'these and shape
these at certain stages and modify these for the benefit
of the concerned devotees. When talking of Dr. Chidambaram
Pillai, Baba explained the correct doctrine. Dr. Pillai
had intense suffering from guinea worm. He told a friend
to go and report to Baba that his sufferings were intolerable
and to request Baba to transfer these sufferings to some
ten later births of his and leave him free from the sufferings
in this janma. When this was reported to Baba, the latter
sent for Pillai and told him, ‘What! you want ten
janmas? What has to be endured in ten janmas can be crushed
into ten days by the power of satpurushas.' So Baba ordered
him to remain with his legs outstretched at Dwarakamayee
and he told him that a crow would come and peck at his
wound and cure him. In a few minutes, Abdul, Baba’s
permanent attendant, carelessly put his foot down upon
Pillai’s wound and crushed all the guinea worms
out of it, merely by accident as he (Pillai) would have
thought. But nothing done at the Mosque to Pillai could
be considered as an accident, and Baba said that Abdul
was the crow, and that no further crow was wanted to peck
at Pillai’'s wound. Pillai was then asked to go
home, and in ten days, the entire suffering from guinea
worm was cured.
In another case, that
of Bhimaji, who had serious chest disease, asthma, tuberculosis,
etc., Baba first told Shama, ‘Shama, in bringing
this thief to me what a load of responsibility you are
placing on me!’ Baba meant that the tuberculosis,
asthma, etc., from which Bhimaji suffered were the result
of Bhiinaji’s karma in a previous janma consisting
of theft. Bhimaji felt Baba’s declaration a blow.
At once he surrendered himself to Baba and said, ‘Helper
of the helpless! I am helpless. Pray show thy pity and
grace to me’. Then Baba’s tone changed. Baba
told him, ‘The Fakir (God) is merciful, and your
disease will be cured’. He was suffering from the
results of a karma, but that could be mitigated, and so
the man was sent to live and sleep in a wet verandah.
Bhimaji did so. There, he had two very dreadful dreams.
In one dream, he was mercilessly birched by a school master.
For, in the dream he fancied he was a boy and the master
was birching him. So, he felt the pain in the dream and
he roared out. In the second dream, it was even worse.
He felt that some one was placing a stone roller and rolling
it over his breast. He suffered all the horror of instant
death approaching him. All the pain of a hanging sentence
and whipping sentence were endured by this man in the
course of one night. Baba thus changed the punishments
which he had earned by his previous karma, and told him
that he was thus free from karmic effects. He then recovered
his health. The above instances go to show that most of
our conceptions about karma are nebulous and ungrounded,
and that the safest course for us to follow would be to
be guided by the dicta of Satpurushas like Sai Baba.”……
DEVOTEE EXPERIENCE
My experience with Baba - I
have been Sri Sai Baba’s devotee since 1998 –
which was prior to my marriage. I got married in 2001
and moved with my husband to US. During our initial years
of marriage we went through a lot of misunderstandings
between us and both our families also went through some
rough times. The gap between them had widened and my husband
had also restrained himself from being cordial with my
side of the family. The relationship between my husband
and me had also become very fragile. In the meanwhile
he had lost his job and it was the most challenging time
for us. A friend had forwarded Sri Sai Chalisa in the
email and I chanted it every Thursday, to this day. My
husband got a job within 6 months by Baba’s grace.
I went through a phase where
our relationship was on a downhill and had no hopes of
anything at all. I prayed ardently to Baba during such
times to help me get through it and to restore the family
peace and build bridges between both the families again.
The relationship between my in-laws and me had healed
by that time by Baba’s grace, but there was absolutely
no hope about my husband’s relationship with my
side of the family.
I had heard through my friends
that by reading Sai Charitra – one can find new
meaning and wisdom about life/relationships/God. So I
read Sai Charitra on Thursdays. I started seeing some
positive changes. We had fewer disagreements and our relationship
got a bit stronger. I started concentrating on my family
life and gave up hope about my husband’s relationship
with my side of the family.
My parents visited US in summer
and they stayed with my brother and I had no hope that
they would ever visit us. Things were changing slowly
but steadily and then one day an unexpected thing happened
– my husband personally invited them to our place
and even booked the air tickets! This is when I realized
that even though I gave up hope Baba did not give up on
me. He taught me the valuable lesson of patience and perseverance.
I have a stronger and renewed sense of faith in Baba and
I thank Him from the bottom of my heart for restoring
the family bond and peace. Baba’s mercy and grace
has been with me all this while even in my most challenging
times – I was ignorant not realizing it.
Thank you so much
Baba!

POEM
Dependance On God
Sometimes, life's filled with disappointments,
shattered dreams which have created great pain;
There
are times we have to lose it all,
But those are the times when we can gain!
When we have learned
to be content
and let God have control;
Then we'll have gained that which will bring,
peace and contentment to heart and soul!
We tend to want to
hold on to that
which we have always known;
It may be that we fear the thought
of having to face the future alone!
But our God will never
forsake us
He's faithful and He's just;
He'll see us through the darkest night,
if in Him we will place our trust!
He is One Whom we
can depend on
and He'll never leave our side;
In Him we'll find the strength we need
when at times we are sorely tempted and tried!
When we've reached
a place
where we can't seem to cope,
We want to give up, for we've lost all hope;
If we'll call on His name, He will hear our plea
And will cause all the darkness of despair to flee!

TOPIC OF DISCUSSION
DEVOTION
I am a simple person and at first instant I feel ‘Devotion’
is nothing but ‘Bhakti’. However, thinking
seriously I feel that though ‘devotion’ sounds
such a simple word but it is so profound and has such
deep meaning that after looking up all dictionaries on
the Web, I am still not sure whether I got the true meaning
of this one single and simple word namely ‘Devotion’.
One could say that
devotion is ‘pure unconditional love without expecting
any return’ like a mother is devoted to her child,
a wife is devoted to her husband and a son/ daughter is
devoted to his/ her parents. And then there is devotion
of a Bhakta to his/her deity. This devotion is so very
different from the aforementioned devotion because a Bhakta
worships his God with the belief that he exists and is
taking care of him without even a single meeting with
the God. I consider myself as a Shirdi Sai Baba devotee
and am still trying to learn right method of devotion.
To me, Devotion means - my relationship with SaiBaba,
which has developed over the years.
When I was a child, I had this
fascination for a particular filmstar. I would leave all
my work and rush to TV every time his movie or song was
being telecast. I thought I was so crazily devoted to
this actor. Then suddenly one day I felt disgust at my
behaviour and a thought came into my mind. Why am I wasting
my time, energy and thoughts on a person I don’t
know and haven’t even met. Simultaneously, I thought
that if I could be even half as crazy for God Almighty,
as I am for this actor, then I would be so lucky.
I remember as a kid, I had
to accompany my parents to Shiva temple everyday, which
I did not like. But today I am very thankful to them for
showing me the right path at such an early age. When I
got married my husband would take me to Saibaba Lodhi
Road temple. I would bow my head down before Baba and
silently talk to him ‘Baba I don’t know anything
about you. I am coming here to you because my husband
is coming here. If I could know something more about you
and your Leelas then things would be different’.
Luckily, after a few days, we had guests in our home,
who spoke about Baba so lovingly and also discussed their
experiences of reading ‘Sai Satcharita’. Internally,
I wanted to have this book. I found one brand new Sai
Satcharita in our home library itself. I read it in seven
days and my life changed altogether thereafter. This was
Baba’s first response to my sprouting ‘devotion’.
I felt myself drawn
towards Shirdi Sai Baba. I felt Shiva, Krishna, Durga,
Ganapathi, Hanuman – all are in Sai and Sai is in
all. I understood meaning of ‘Oneness of Gods’.
I became ‘devoted’ to Sai and started visiting
Baba temples, read material available on him. I just started
loving Baba.
Once I saw a beautiful
Saibaba murti left by a devotee under a Peepal tree outside
the temple because it was slightly damaged (one portion
of middle finger was broken and base of stone on which
Baba was sitting was slightly chipped off). I just could
not stop myself. I picked up the Murti, hugged it and
brought it home and kept it in my temple. If I were to
suffer a fracture my family won’t discard me. So
what one devotee discarded as inauspicious became a very
auspicious blessing for another devotee. Does devotion
have different meanings for different devotees?
I am blessed that
Murti is still in my home and I can feel the change. Earlier
Baba’s face looked grim but over the years, the
murti has got luster and a smile on His face. I am very
attached to that Murti. I feel immense peace when I hug
this Murti in my good as well as bad times. I talk to
the Murti as if Baba were alive in this Murti. Today it
is placed at a prime place in my living room because I
consider Saibaba as a family member- the head of the family.
Sometimes I wonder if this is devotion or a crazy act.
One day I wanted to visit Saibaba
temple very earnestly and requested my elder son to take
care of his younger brother for at least one hour so than
I could go to the temple. He agreed but also added ‘SaiBaba
is in your Home Maa. Why do you need to go to temple’.
Something hit me that day in those innocent words. I thought
my ‘devotion’ towards Baba was actually ritualistic.
Baba is inside me I just have to look inward and I’ll
find Shirdi & Baba all inside me. I am also part and
parcel of that ‘Oneness of Universe’. Thus
Baba was working on me internally.
And Why not, even
Baba has said that there is no distinction between God,
Guru and Devotee. Now ‘devotion’ had another
meaning for me – True love for Baba and considering
the whole creation as Baba. I soon realized it was easier
said than done. Though I could now compose and sing Baba’s
Bhajans, participate in his Satsang but internally I was
still expecting a response from Baba in some form or the
other. Not that Baba was not responding. Baba always responded
but sometimes when I did not understand this response
I would feel Baba is not looking at me. All in all I was
expecting Baba’s response in return to my devotion.
I was praying to
God, thanking him but was also seeking favours in return
because I always felt that I was a good devotee - going
to God in good times and not bothering him during my bad
times. I was exercising choice, discrimination in my ‘devotion’
to Baba. But still my internal communication with Baba
continued. I conversed with Baba almost most of the day.
I always felt him beside me and I was so satisfied in
this feeling that I thought with Baba around me nothing
can go wrong. Baba is the protector. After all, I was
not seeking ‘big’ favours from him anymore.
I thought I may not be the best devotee of Saibaba but
still I was a good devotee.
Then came the biggest jolt
in my life, a real test of my devotion, an eye (internal)
opener. I lost my older son (18 years) in a sudden road
accident. A few days before his passing Baba had appeared
in my dream lying on the ground with a white cloth covering
his body. I found my son’s lifeless body in similar
position in the AIIMS mortuary. What was Baba trying to
tell me? Suddenly, I felt my whole devotion had gone for
a toss. It was so very painful for me. I could think of
nothing but my lost son and my feeling of utter despair
at my big loss. Where was my ‘devotion’? I
was complaining. Why did Baba not save him?
And did Baba respond?
Yes. All the way. I feel him much more closer to me now.
I started reading material available on afterlife, NDEs,
ADCs etc. As I got more and more insight into my tragedy
I felt foolish for blaming Baba for this mishap in my
life. Sai Satcharita is full of stories about Prarabdha
and now I was actually understanding their meaning. Practical
was absolutely different from theory. This ‘pain’
and ‘separation’ from my son awakened me to
an entirely new understanding of soul (me), spirit (Baba)
and spirituality which I had understood only at intellectual
level till now.
Baba gave me answers
to all my queries through so many methods including visions
and dream visits. I was seeing my life in bits and pieces
while Baba knew all past and future. Baba, very kindly,
made me realize and understand that my son was with him
– all safe, sound, happy and blissful. What more
can a mother ask for? Baba gave to my son after his 18
years of earthly life what I have not been able to gain
even after 40 years.
Nine months after my tragedy,
I seem to have understood a new meaning of the word devotion.
Now, devotion to me is loving SaiBaba, no matter what
happens in my life, with complete faith and trust and
without any expectation and return at all. Devotion springs
from love and complete confidence in God. Devotion is
my relationship with SaiBaba. I pray that Baba keeps holding
my hand all the time for the fear that if I hold his hand,
I might lose my grip when faced with sudden upheaval in
life. But SaiBaba will never let go of this grip.
Idol worship, visiting
temples, reading religious books, performing religious
ceremonies are some acts of Devotion. Complete devotion
could be something like - continuous offering of the whole
of you – mind, thoughts, actions – with supreme
love to the God who is creator of all animate and inanimate
things. I cannot offer parts of my life to God.
I have to offer all
my past, present and future - my entire being and existence
to God. I cannot measure Devotion. All the time I feel
something is lacking in my devotion. That others are more
devoted than me. That I still have to refine my devotion
towards my Baba. I have to live for SaiBaba while simultaneously
fulfilling all my worldly duties and responsibilities
efficiently. I have to believe and follow all the words
that SaiBaba ever spoke. Only SaiBaba knows what is my
qualification in his Darbar.
Devotion could mean anything
to anybody. To me, Devotion means my relationship with
SaiBaba. As this relationship evolves, so does my devotion
to Baba and it continues to evolve. I have no idea where
this relationship is going to end for I have surrendered
all my intellectual and spiritual learning at the holy
feet of SaiBaba. I feel that I don’t know anything.
My Sadguru SaiBaba knows everything. He has taken care
of my son, sorry His own son, in heaven. He will take
care of me and my family too, on earth as well as when
we cross over. But I have to continue to strive, to strengthen
my devotion to SaiBaba. How? SaiBaba will grace me with
his holy guidance from time to time as and when HE wills
it for He alone knows what is suitable for an ignorant
person like me.

DEVOTEES' FORUM
As much as I know my Sai-He is the creator of this universe,
He is the preserver of this universe, He is the bright
light of the sun, He is the soothing enchanted moonlight,
He is the Guru and the ruler of all the five elements
of the earth, viz: fire, air, water, earth and ether.
He is the God who is kind enough to come to earth, incarnate
as a human being and live with foolish people like me
who are constantly surrounded by ego, attachment, greed,
jealousy and who failed to recognize His divine light
hidden within myself.
His stories alone satisfy the thirst of my soul. Singing
his glories makes me feel close to his humble feet, which
are my destination to mukti; His grace alone can pull
me away from the miseries of this earth and my own bad
karma. To such a Guru -To such a Sai ,whose heart is as
soft as the petal of a rose ,whose heart is so big that
He chooses to overlook my flaws, whose heart is so kind
that he understands my desires and fulfills my wishes,
whose heart is as innocent as a new born child-what is
it that I can give to my Sai as dakshina that would qualify
me as His true disciple.
What is it that is mine and I am in a position to give
it to my Sai, My Guru, as Dakshina---the only thing that
comes to my mind is my devotion for Him, my complete surrender
to Him and my total faith on Him. With all His greatness
this would just be a little tiny token of love from me
to my Sai.
Oh my dearest Sai , I have nothing besides my devotion
and myself to offer you as dakshina. In all my future
lives shower your kind grace upon me and give me a small
place to rest at your lotus feet. With a thousand pranams
- I offer my complete surrender to You. I was yours to
begin with, even before time existed but some how I lost
myself at the hands of Maya and my own karma in my past
lives but today once again, I am yours forever and will
continue to be, even after the time will stop to exist.

I started my Sai devotion
by seeing the Hindi movie on Sai. Then I came to know
about the Satya Sai Baba from others. But I was not satisfied.
Then I came to know about the Sai Satcharita. And after
reading that I really pray Sai. I used to send some money
and used to get udi from Shirdi. One day my father had
training in Nasik and I had given him 30 rupees to give
to Shirdi if he was lucky enough to go there. While he
was waiting for the bus one man came and told him he doesn't
have the money to go to Shirdi. So my dad asked him how
much he wants. He said 30 rupees and when I heard that
I knew that He is for real.
Now I pray him as
my God and may be not praying other Gods or not giving
that much importance may be I don't know. So my mother
feels that Sai has the position of a Guru and we need
to pray God. I am confused and I cannot think that he
is not my God. When I am in tension I pray Om Sree Sai
Nathaya nama. In the morning and evening I pray everybody.
And I have this feeling that Sai is there for me whatever
happens. I just cannot change that he is just a Guru for
me He is my God. So somebody please help me understand.

Shri Satpathyji's message in the magazine as well as the
newsletter to the Sai devotees is a real margdarshan in
today’s materialistic world and a great guidance
to the Devotees for progressing in the path of spiritualism
and practicing Baba's Teachings and philosphy in the day-to-day

words given to the world by our Sai Baba of Shirdi.
