Shirdi sai say's learning was no substitute for self realization


Srimad Mahabhagavatham states that it is a leela (divine play) for god to create things. The Bhagavad Gita, on the other hand, states that it is part of nature to create and procreate. Unluckily no scriptures clearly answers the “Why and what” question about creation. Even in genesis we see the instrumentality of creation. Where Elohim transformed into Jehovah (“I am”) and created the universe in six days. In the Vedanta Sutra the word Leela”-Divine sport-“is used to explain creation as the desire less expression of god. Why does god want to express itself?

If tomorrow a human being is manufactured, within a lab, without the donation from male sperm and female egg, most organize religion in the world may fall. Will then man be called the creator?

“We can look at creativity as a mystery, brilliant new ideas are produced and we do not know how they came about. We can study and analyze the behavior of creative people but this will not tell us very much, because often such people are themselves unaware of what triggered the brilliant idea of their own creation.” Edward de Bono, the originator of lateral thinking and widely acknowledged leading international authority in the field of creative thinking who could deliberate systematic approach to creative demand, has said in his book “Serious creativity”.

My dear sai, I am confused... totally confused about the creation and its concepts. Kindly help me to go further. To acquire the knowledge and find confirmation to proceed further is getting difficult for me sai...I need your help...I put my head under my Baba’s feet and prayed for his guidance.

My next door persons son who came from abroad was handing over a new car key to his father...I could hear their conversation amidst my prayer.The father was asking half a dozen questions about the car though he was very happy about having one from his son...for which the son answers ...father, When a vehicle say a car is given to you learn to drive the car rather than all the time analyzing about the characteristics of its engine, capacity, it’s road worthiness and how better the creation is but immediately learn to drive the car to reach the destination. Why you want to spend so many analyzes before you start driving, I have bought you the car to show my gratitude you drive and reach the destination. It is better to know but it is still better you drive and enjoy the purpose...

I suddenly heard an inner voice saying...My dear child “While knowledge of texts and scriptures are useful, learning was no substitute for self realization”.

I realize you my dear sai I realize you .....without unnecessary questions...

Aum sairam

Shirdi Sai's message for 2008



This being new year day 2008 what is you message to all of us sairam?.I want to now...Baba.... I am starting to understand you... so much about you...I want to read and reread so many things you have told lived and showed as well so much told about you by many others.

To experience you to realize your presence, and today being the New Year’s Day 2008-01-01...after the evening aarti I wanted to know your message. Kindly give us your message....

I opened one of my favorite books about you and under the chapter I could read the following

“I was born to serve mankind and to make Shirdi a blessed place, where the rich and the poor, literate and illiterate, the pious and the saintly, the wordy and the wise could assemble and remember the higher spirit of things as manifested by the Supreme Being who is omnipotent.

I live in one and all, I live in shirdi, but I also live in the heart of each and every devotee who worships me and pays obeisance to me

My message is simple: love all and be kind to all because I live and exist in all.

So if people worship all-animals and men alike-you will never fail to serve me.

Be my bakta and the inheritor of all that I have to give you – blessings, bliss and benediction

Shirdi is holy,

My guru stayed here; my friends stayed here; and now you visit here.

May god’s abundant grace be upon you all.

Sabka Malik Ek!”

THE ABOVE MESSAGE WAS DICTATED TO THE AUTHOR BY BABA AT DWARAKMAI BEFORE HE STARTED WRITING THIS BOOK

(From The book Shirdi saibaba by Asish Mohan Khokar Eternal India)
