Shirdi sai answer my question?











To get acquainted with Saibaba was no where in my life till I was fourteen. He was no where in my thoughts till then. But Today, I cannot imagine my life or my thought process without him. My sai...I can think of only sai and nothing else but his glory. I always think why such situation has arisen in my life. Whatever I think or whatever I do in the mundane or on a purely mental plane his thoughts appear quietly in the background of my mind. He appears in one form or other very near me. Sometimes, with the torn kafni which he was said to be perennially don. That image will remain for long, disturbing my worldly routine. How so ever I would like to separate my consciousness from him, it is not possible, he will not leave me however I am. It is really very difficult to shed him....very addictive. At times I have tried my level best to go away to some other place to get rid of him..in early days. but Impossible it was. Either he will appear in one form or the other either stuck at the back of a car or somebody I can hear calling him “sairam” which will make me turn back. Shirdi sai amazingly loves, very understanding anyone cannot forget him once they experience him. But how come he came into my program? Why did he come? Who is he? Why I cannot live without the thought of this fakir. He is beyond comprehension. He is all in all in my breath and soul. I will die once he leaves me... The day he leaves me is the day of my brain death. But I want reason sai? That is why I asked who are you in me? I want the reason sai...and the reason of my own existence...I know, you know me better than what I know about me....but you have to answer me my dear sai...you have to...

Shirdi Sai who are you? Who am I?















Sai nowadays I started peeping through my window to see the next door nowadays... I started bothering for the unused grinder from the day one you made me to see . That grinding stuff is still kept aside without being used without a handle. Neither a human force nor the input to work that out, it is really disturbing my mind sai..

It is not the grind but the thought what my Sai said about grinding concept in the “Sai-bible” in other words “The Sri Sai satcharita”. I have to get rid of my avagunas (bad qualities) and ahangkar (ego) I want to work out a program for that I suppose.Can I work out an executable program for this?

But sai many things I program with perspective plans, breaking them with immediate objectives, annual objectives and long term objectives with a bench mark to measure and mid term corrections with all meticulous planning I miserably fail at times. And of course my planning will picturise a very futuristic angle with long term goals. At times it doesn’t work at all sai...Why Sai?

Why should I draw plans? Nothing happened in the way as I wanted many times.

I nowadays realize that I myself am a written program. All the steps sequenced and only job for me is to execute that like a machine rather.

So many important things happen in my life without my prior knowledge. I was born into this world, and one day going to leave this world the time of entry and exit is unknown. I don’t choose my mother or father that is also not my choice. So many things I learn and unlearn, and when important things are already being destined then where comes my karma question? I use to think many times that I am the sole authority for my life and for all my actions but now I realize it, I am not. The truth is that I myself is somebody’s creation...Who am I? Am I a meager step by step instruction of an already written executable program or an event driven program? And who are you sai? In this program business which part do you play? Did you create me? For which you will answer “No child there is a person above all of us who created us? Then who are you to me sai? Tell me sai who are you? Why am I hooked up like this talking to you all the time? Why should I like you first of all? Why sai? Why?

PART II SHIRDI SAIBABA SAYS... TECHNOLOGY GRIND?











The Grinding also contained a spiritual and philosophical message. He was helping grind the sins of the people. He was helping grind the illness and afflictions. The two stones of his mill were karma (lower wheel) and bakthi (upper disc):the handle was meditation. The force was spiritual strength. In this mill all desires, wants, avgunas (avarices) and ahankar (ego) were put for grinding into the fine powder of enlightenment. Such were the ways of baba...after reading this I very badly wanted to see the grinding mill...

I am searching for the grinder.....nowadays grinders do not have an upper wheel and a lower disc nor a handle to hold and nobody takes effort to grind all menu driven...and switching the power on ,the electric flows it does the job on a mixie or a grinder .

How come the next generation will perceive his message..... I was into the deep thought suddenly I heard a sound from my computer.....may be some of my friends....I rushed to my monitor and there he is my saibaba for chat....

Saibaba: child have you got the idea of a grinder?

Me: no my dear sai I am searching the same in and around me...

Saibaba: thank god... you did a manual search

Me: What...why do you say that Saram?

Saibaba: You have the habit of searching anything and everything in google nowadays.....isn’t?

Me:I was taken aback.... ya my dear saibaba ya...you are right you know me in and out

Saibaba: Lawrence E page and Sergey Mihailovinch Brin they are the reason

Me: who are they?.....

Saibaba: the brains behind the engine Google?

Me:hii....How do you know that sai?

Saibaba: I know.....you people use so many technologies without even knowing the reason behind or the person behind

Me: ya I do that....I did not answer....

Saibaba: even that engine churns all the available information databases searches and brings in the very needy one to your query isn’t?

Me: ya...true...but sai you are amazing and up-to-date in technologies...too. Amazing...

Saibaba: My child all the technologies Nanotechnology ,Biotechnology, or Information technology are all for what

Me: they are for the advancement of knowledge....and to become intelleigent.

Saibaba: When intelligence matures and lodges securely in the mind it becomes wisdom. When wisdom is integrated with life and issues out in action it becomes bakthi...knowledge when it becomes fully matured it is bakthi. If it does not get transformed into bakthi such knowledge is useless tinsel to believe that gnana and bakthi (knowledge and devotion) are different from each other is ignorance.....

Me:I get you sai....

Saibaba:life is a tripod it has three legs athma manas and budhi....

Me:Okie

Saibaba: You people spend more time on budhi(knowledge) front ....some on manas (mind) front and very less towards athma front...all the three legs should equally balance for a perfect life...for which I coined so much of step by step method like aarthi....doing good, etc and also performing miracles to make you children for your own good. However fast the world grows...(The world is not as same as that world which you sleep before and after). That fast is advancements...

Me: True ....very true

Saibaba: try to follow bakthi marga...easiest way for mukthi...

Me... as usual the internet connection got cut....

Aum sairam..

PART I - SHIRDI SAIBABA SAYS... TECHNOLOGY GRIND?














It was the year 1910. Hemadpant came to shirdi. One day after washing his face, Baba sat in Dwarakmai and started grinding wheat furiously. The villagers enquired why but he did not reply...He kept at it. Until some women folk decided to help him in his chore. They too wondered why Baba was grinding wheat because he never cooked, but begged alms for food, and did not need such huge quantity anyway. He had never done the grinding before. So all who were nearby were looking with wonders at this. Four bold women went inside the mosque and requested Baba to sit aside, took the grinding stone and started grinding. Though Baba got angry at this he kept quite, seeing their affection for him. On completion of the grinding work, the ladies divided the flour into four parts and wanted to take it for themselves. Baba watching them calmly till then got angry and scolded them.” Oh ladies, are you crazy? Are you thinking this flour is your property to take it? I never took any wheat from you. Then why are you taking this flour?”...He cooled down after a while and said politely,” It is alright take the flour and sprinkle it on the boundaries of this village.” The ladies bowed their heads and asked for mercy. After touching Baba’s feet, they went quickly and sprinkled the flour on the boundaries of the village. The villagers told Hemadpant that there was cholera in the village, and only to eradicate Baba would have done all this. Hemadpant did not understand the relationship between cholera and the wheat flour, but the epidemic in the village gradually subsidized. Then Hemadpant concluded that what Baba ground that day was not wheat, but the cholera epidemic. Which he had sent outside the boundaries of the village, so that whole village gets rid of this disease. Hemadpant bowed his head to show respect to SaiBaba, he was so impressed by the greatness of Baba and his Miracles that later he decided to write a book about him to pay his tribute to this great saint....The result is Sri sai satcharita

Shirdi Sai taught me the Karma theory on this Christmas Eve 2007


I am very much confused.....two incidences which I saw on this Christmas day ....I am not able to concentrate reading my saibible....Sai Satcharita.....My though went back again to the two events....I saw a small child and her family performing entertainment show on the road when I was going for a walk so talented and a gymnast we do watch high tech shows in the Television but this road show was very impressive...I asked her name she said sai pooja from Madhya Pradesh...the child is made to rope walk in the street...no safety measures and the whole family livelihood depends on such risks....our walking session was about 8 kilometers that day....My husband and me were walking together and in the 7th kilometer we happen to pass the citi centre Chennai...we went inside the centre....what a gala celebration it was of course Christmas eve 2007....My husband asked me to take a clipping of the events...and said” did you noticeda.... we saw a child walking on the rope and here we see different segment of the society"......
agash......yaa....Some children has to rope walk for their livelihood and some children have cake walk life.....this is working on my mind sai...it is working too much on my mind....

I slowly relaxed and again concentrated reading the sai bible ....I prayed...closed my eyes and opened the sai satcharita and the page was 139 and the chapter XXVI and the message was as below....

Mr. Ambadekar

Mr. Gopal Narayan Ambadekar of Poona was a devotee of Baba. He served for ten years in the Abkari department in the Thana District and in Javhar state, from where he had to retire. He tried to get some other job, but he did not succeed. He was overtaken by other calamities and his condition grew from bad to worse. He passed 7 years in this condition, visiting Shirdi every year and placing his grievance before Baba. In 1916 his plight became worst and be decided to commit suicide in Shirdi. So he came there with his wife and stayed for two months. One night while sitting in a bullock cart in front of Dixit's Wada, he resolved to end his life by throwing himself into a well close by. He proposed to do one way but Baba wished to do something else. A few paces from this place, there was a hotel and its proprietor Mr. Sagun, a devotee of Baba, came out and accosted him thus - "Did you ever read this Akkalkotkar Maharaja's life?" Ambadekar took that book from Sagun and began to read it. Casually, or we may say providentially he came across a story which was to this effect. - During the life time of Akkalkotkar Maharaj a certain devotee suffered very much from an incurble disease and when he could endure the agony and pain no longer, be became desperate and to end his miseries threw himself one night into a well. Immediately the Maharaj came there and took him out with his own hands and advised him thus - "You must enjoy the fruit - good or bad - of your past actions; if the enjoyment be incomplete, suicide won't help you. You have to take another birth and suffer again; so instead of killing yourself, why not suffer for some time and finish up your store of the fruit of your past deeds and be done with it once and for all?"

Reading this appropriate and timely story, Ambadekar was much surprised, and moved. Had he not got Baba's hint through the story, he would have been no more. On seeing Baba's all-prevasiveness and benevolence, his faith in Him was confirmed, and he became a staunch devotee. His father was a devotee of Akkalkotkar Maharaj and Sai Baba wanted him to walk into his father's footsteps and continue his devotion to Him. He then got Sai Baba's blessings and his prospects began to improve. He studied astrology and gained proficiency in it and thereby improved his lot. He was able to earn sufficient money and passed his after-life in ease and comfort.”

After reading this I realized Baba sayings...”One has definitely to reap the results of one’s own deeds(Karmas.Results of past karma(both good and bad) are repeated here. One may become even a “Chandala” based on past karma.There is nothing like repentance to lesson its impact. The pilgrimage to holy places and baths in holy rivers reduce karma to some extent. Visit to tombs(Samadhi)of holy people(Maha purushas)reduce some karma,as these places sanctified their presence....Know first what karma is, it is that which imparts natural livelihood for all living beings....your freedom is only in performing karma. You have no business with its rewards...those who perform karma with anticipating rewards are delinquents.....Your rebirth is of two kinds. first controlling the mind with sensory organs(jnana Indriyas) and second performing karma with bodily organs(karmendryas) without aspiring for the fruits. If performed this way. it equals who do not do any karma....Those who translate shirdi sai’s preaching into action in their day today lives without jealousy and with utmost faith and devotion shall be liberated from bondages of karma...

Sai I realize why you made me to see the rope walk and cake walk lifestyles

The second impressive leela of Shirdi Saibaba

Shirdi Saibaba made the mosque his home. There he kept a dhuni burning day and night. The mosque came to be known as dwarakmai.

He shared the food which he had collected by begging with poor people.

It was also his habit to share what was left over with stray cats’ dogs and birds.

Baba use to go round the market place to collect oil.

After collecting the oil baba would return to the mosque and lit the tiny lamps at night.

One day all the merchants joined together and refused to give oil to sai baba

But Saibaba went silently and the merchants became anxious

But to all their surprise baba could light the lamps by just pouring water instead of oil.

And said

Remember that all of us are children of god, our creator; if you help the poor and needy, then god will surely bless you so always be kind to others.....
