அனைவருக்கும் இனிய பாபா நாள் வாழ்த்துகள்.
ஸாயி ஸேவக் மனிஷாஜி,
பல்வேறு பக்தர்களின் ஸாயி லீலைகளையும், புதிய பாடல் தொகுப்புகளையும்,
'கோவில்கள்' வலைதளத்தில் கொண்டுவரும் தகவல்களையும் எங்களுடன் பகிர்ந்து
கொள்வதற்காகத் தங்களுக்கு எனது மனமார்ந்த நன்றியறிதலைச் சொல்லிக் கொள்கிறேன்.
ஸாயி அடியார்களுக்கும் எனது நன்றியறிதலைச் சொல்லிக்கொள்கிறேன். அவர்களது
பங்களிப்பு மட்டும் இல்லையெனில், சோதனைகள் நம்மைச் சூழும் நேரங்களில்,
இப்படியொரு ஆன்மீக உணர்வினை நமது ஸாயி குடும்பம் பெற இயலாது, எப்போதும் போலவே
பாபா நம்மை ஆசீர்வதிக்கட்டும்.

'பாபாவின் அருள்' [இது எழுதியவரின் புனைப்பெயர்] கீழ்க்கண்ட லீலையை இங்கே பகிர
விரும்புகிறேன். இதனுடன் இணைக்கப்பட்ட ஒரு புகைப்படங்களையும் தயவு செய்து
வெளியிடவும். நமது அடியார்கள் அனைவரும் படித்திருக்கும் ஸாயி சத்சரிதம்,
20-வது அத்தியாயத்தில் 'காகா அவர்களின் பணிப்பெண்ணால் எங்ஙனம் தாஸ் கணுவின்
பிரச்சினை தெளிவாகியது' என்பதில் வரும் கீழ்க்காணும் வரிகள்.....
"...அங்கிருந்த மக்கள் பாபா இப்படிச் சொன்னதைக் கேட்டு, அவர் வேடிக்கையாகச்
சொல்கிறார் என்றே நினைத்தனர். 'இது போன்ற ஒரு பெரிய பிரச்சினைக்கு எப்படி ஒரு
சாதாரண, படிப்பறிவற்ற பணிப்பெண்ணால் விடை தர இயலும்?' என அவர்கள் நினைத்தனர்.
ஆனால், தாஸ் கணு வேறுவிதமாக எண்ணினார். 'பாபா என்ன சொன்னாலும் அவை சத்தியமாக
நிகழும்; பாபாவின் சொற்கள் இறைவனின் ஆணை' என அவர் உறுதியாக நம்பினார்.
'போதுமெனும் பொன்மனத்தின் இயல்பினைத் தெளிவாக்கும் பாடத்தை' அந்தப் பணிப்பெண்
மிகச் சாதாரணமாக நடத்திக் காண்பித்தாள்..... தமது அடியவர்களுக்குத் தேவையான
அறிவுரைகளை, வழிமுறைகளை பாபா வெளிப்படுத்தும் வழிகளை எவராலும் இன்னதெனக்
கணித்துக் கூற இயலாது என்பதே பாபாவின் தனித்துவமான போதனையாகும். இந்தக்
குறிப்பிட்ட சம்பவத்தில், பாபா, தாஸ் கணுவை வில்லே பார்லேவுக்கு அனுப்பி,
அங்கிருந்த ஒரு பணிப்பெண்ணின் மூலம் அவரது பிரச்சினைக்குத் தீர்வு கண்டார்.
இதற்காக தாஸ் கணுவை வெளியே அனுப்பியிருக்க வேண்டுமா? பாபாவே ஒரு தீர்வைச்
சொல்லியிருக்க முடியாதா? என்றெல்லாம் கேட்பவர்க்கு, பாபா சரியான, மேலான
வழியையே காட்டினார் எனத்தான் நாம் கூற முடியும். இல்லையென்றால் அந்த ஏழைப்
பணிப்பெண்ணும், அவளது புடவையும் கடவுளின் கிருபையே என்னும் அற்புதமான
படிப்பினையை எங்ஙனம் தாஸ் கணுவால் வேறுவிதமாகப் பெற்றிருக்க முடியும்?"
எனது வாழ்வில் நிகழ்ந்த ஒரு சம்பவத்தை இந்தக் கதை ஒத்திருக்கிறது. எங்களது
குடும்பத்தில் பல்வேறு சிரமங்களை அனுபவித்துக் கொண்டிருந்தோம். இப்படி
நிகழ்ந்து கொண்டிருக்கும்போது, எனது சுமையை இறக்கி வைப்பதற்காக, நான் தினமும்
பாபா ஆலயத்திற்குச் சென்று கொண்டிருந்தேன்.
அதிகம் படித்திருக்காத, ஒரு முரட்டுப் பெண் அங்கே பூ வியாபாரம்
செய்துகொண்டிருந்தாள். எனது குடும்ப நலன் குறித்து அவள் அக்கறையோடு
விசாரிப்பது வழக்கம்.
ஒரு ஆலோசகர் போலவும், அவரது தூதர் போலவுமான ஒரு பொறுப்பை பாபா அவளுக்கு
அளித்திருந்தார் என நினைக்கிறேன். மிகவும் நல்ல மாதிரியான அவளிடம், பல
பக்தர்கள் வந்து, பேசி, கலந்துரையாடி, அறிவுரைகளைப் பெற்றுச் செல்வர். மற்ற
கோவில்களில் இருந்து கொண்டுவந்த பிரசாதங்களை அவளுக்குக் கொடுப்பதையும்
செய்தனர்.
பாபாவின் வழிமுறைகளைப் பற்றி நாங்கள் இருவரும் பேசுவோம். அவளது நேரடியான
போக்கினை நான் மிகுதியாகச் சுட்டிக் காட்டுவேன்; வரும் துன்பங்களை எதிகொள்ள
வேண்டும் என அவள் எனக்குச் சொல்லுவாள். பாபா இருக்கும்போது எதற்காக வீணாகக்
கவலைப்பட வேண்டும் எனச் சொல்லி, அவளது வாழ்வில் பாபா நிகழ்த்திய லீலைகளைச்
சொல்லி எனக்குத் தைரியம் ஊட்டுவாள். கடன் சுமையோடு ஒரு ஏழைக் குடும்பத்தை அவள்
நடத்தி வந்தாள்.
சென்ற மாதம், ஒரு 4 - 5 நாட்கள் விடாமல் மழை பெய்தது. நடுங்க வைக்கும்
குளிரும் சேர்ந்து கொண்டது. காய்ச்சல், ஜலதோஷம், இருமல் போன்றவை வந்துவிடுமோ
என்றஞ்சி, மக்கள் பொதுவாக வெளியில் வர மாட்டார்கள். கடுமையான மழை காரணமாக,
அவளால் கடைத்தெருவுக்குச் சென்று, பூக்கள் வாங்கிவர இயலாமல் போயிற்று.
வியாபாரம் இல்லாமலேயே ஒரு சில நாட்கள் தாக்குப் பிடித்தாள். ஒரு நாள் மாலை,
அடுத்த வேளைக்கான அரிசி, மற்றும் உணவுப் பொருட்கள் இல்லாமல் போன நிலையை
உணர்ந்து, இனி வரும் நாட்களை இந்தக் குளிர் காலத்தில் வியாபாரம் ஏதுமில்லாமல்,
எப்படிச் சமாளிக்கப் போகிறோமோ என அஞ்சினாள்.வெளியே சென்று, எவரிடமாவது உதவி
கேட்கக்கூட இயலாமல், கடும் மழை அவளை வாட்டியது. இந்தக் கொடூரத்திலிருந்து
தன்னைக் காக்குமாறு அவள் பாபாவை மனமுருகி வேண்டினாள்.
அன்று மாலை, ஒரு ஸாயி அடியவர் அவளைப் பார்க்கவென வந்து, கொஞ்சம் பிரசாதம்
கொடுத்துவிட்டுப் போனார். அதில் ஒரு சில அரிசி மணிகள் ஒட்டிக் கொண்டிருந்தன!
அவற்றைக் கண்டதும், தமது பக்தரின் மூலம் பாபா தமது மீட்புப் பணியைத் துவக்கி
விட்டார் என அவள் புரிந்து கொண்டாள். ஆனால் நமது மனித மனமோ, இறுதியான ஒரு
முடிவு வந்து நமத் பிரச்சினைக்குத் தீர்வாக அமையும் வரையில் சந்தேக மேகங்களால்
எப்போதும் சூழப்பட்டுக் கொண்டிருக்கும்.

*Thursday Message:*
*

In the beginning, Hemadpant describes the samsara (visible world) by the
allegory of Ashvattha (Banyan) tree which has, in the phraseology of the
Geeta, roots above and branches below. Its branches are spread downwards
and upwards and are nourished by the gunas (qualities), and its sprouts are
the objects of the senses. Its roots, leading to actions, are extended
downwards to this world of men. Its form cannot be known in this world, nor
its end, its beginning nor its support. Cutting this Ashvattha tree of
strong roots with the sharp weapon of non-attachment, one should seek the
path beyond, treading which there is no return.

For traversing this path, the help of a good guide (Guru) is absolutely
necessary. However learned a man may be, or however deep his study of Vedas
and Vedangas (sacred literature) may be, he cannot go to his destination
safely. If the guide be there to help him and show him the right way, he
would avoid the pitfalls and the wild beasts on the journey, and everything
will be smooth-sailing.

Baba's experience in this matter, the story which He gave out Himself, is
really wonderful, which, when attended to, will give you faith, devotion
and salvation.

The Quest

Once four of us were studying religious scriptures and other books and,
being thus enlightened, we began to discuss the nature of the Brahman. One
of us said that we should raise the self by the Self and not depend on
others. To this the second replied that he who controls his mind is
blessed; we should be free from thoughts and ideas and there is nothing in
the world without us. The third said that the world (phenomenon) is always
changing, the formless is eternal; so we should discriminate between the
Unreal and the Real. And the fourth (Baba Himself) urged that bookish
knowledge is worthless and added, "Let us do our prescribed duty and
surrender our body, mind and five pranas (life) to the Guru's feet. Guru is
God, all pervading. To get this conviction, strong unbounded faith is
necessary."

Discussing in this wise, we four learned men began to ramble through the
woods in the quest of God. The three wanted to make the quest with their
free and unaided intellect. On the way a Vanjari (a man who trades in
certain things, such as grain etc. by carrying them on bullock) met us and
asked us, "It is hot now, where and how far are you going?". "To search the
woods", we replied. He enquired, "On what quest are you bound?" We gave him
an ambiguous and evasive reply. Seeing us rambling aimlessly, he was moved
and said, "Without knowing the woods fully, you should not wander at
random. If you want to walk through forests and jungles, you should take a
guide with you. Why do you exert youselves unnecessarily at this sultry
noon-time? You may not give out to me your secret quest; still you can sit
down, eat bread, drink water, take rest and then go. Be always patient at
heart." Though he spoke so tenderly, we discarded his request and marched
on. We thought that we were self-contained men and needed nobody's help.
The woods were vast and trackless, the trees therein grew so close and
tall, that the sun's rays could not penetrate through them; so we lost our
way and wandered here and there for a long time. Ultimately through sheer
good luck, we came back to the place from were we started. The Vanjari met
us again and said, "Relying on your own cleverness you missed your way; a
guide is always necessary to show us the right way in small or great
matters; and no quest can be successfully carried out on an empty stomach.
Unless God wills it, no one meets us on the way. Do not discard offers of
food; served dish should not be thrust away. Offers of bread and food
should be regarded as auspicious signs of success." Saying this he again
offered us food and asked us to be calm and patient. Again we did not like
this good hospitality and discarded his offer and went away. Without doing
any quest and without taking any food, the three began to move out. So
obstinate were they. I was hungry and thirsty and I was moved with the
Vanjari's extraordinary love; we thought ourselves very learned but were
quite strangers to pity and kindness. The Vanjari was a quite illiterate
and unqualified fellow and belonged to a low caste. Still he had love in
his heart and asked us to eat the bread. In this way he who loves others
disinterestedly is really enlightened and I thought acceptance of his
hospitality was the best beginning of getting knowledge. So very
respectfully I accepted the loaf of bread offered, ate it and drank water.

Then to! The Guru at once came and stood before us, "What was the dispute
about?" He asked and I told him everything that had happened. Then he said,
"Would you like to come with me? I will show you what you want; but he
alone, who believes in what I say, will be successful." The others did not
agree to what he said and left him; but I bowed to him reverently and
accepted his dictum. Then he took me to a well, tied my feet with a rope
and hung me - head downwards and feet up - from a tree near the well. I was
suspended three feet above the water, which I could not reach with My
hands, nor which could go into my mouth. Suspending me in this manner he
went away, no one knew where. After 10 or 12 ghatakas (4 or 5 hours) he
returned and taking me out quickly asked me how I fared. "In Bliss supreme,
I was. How can a fool like me describe the joy I experienced?" I replied.
On hearing my answer the Guru was much pleased with me, drew me near him
and stroking my body with his hand kept me with him. He took care of me as
tenderly as a mother-bird does of her young ones. He put me into his
school; how beautiful it was! There I forgot my parents, all my attachment
was snapped and I was liberated easily. I thought that I should embrace his
neck and remain staring at him always. If his image were not fixed in my
pupils, I would like better to be blind. Such was the school! No one, who
entered it once, could return empty-handed. My Guru became my all-in-all,
my home and property, mother and father, everything. All my senses left
their places and concentrated themselves in my eyes, and my sight was
centred on him. Thus was my Guru, the sole object of my meditation and I
was conscious of none else. While meditating on him my mind and intellect
were stunned and I had thus to keep quiet and bow to him in silence.

There are other schools where you see an altogether different spectacle.
The disciples go there to seek knowledge and spend their money, time and
labour; but ultimately they have to repent. The Guru there boasts of his
secret knowledge and his straight-forwardness. He makes a show of his
sacredness and holiness, but he is not tender at heart. He speaks a lot and
sings his own glory; but his own words do not touch the disciples' hearts
and they are not convinced. So far as Self-realization is concerned, he has
none. How can such schools be of any use to the disciples and how can they
be benefited? The master (Guru) mentioned above was of different type. By
his grace, realization flashed upon me of itself, without effort or study.
I had not to seek anything, but everything became clear to me as broad
day-light. The Guru alone knows how the topsy-turvy Suspension, 'with head
down and feet up' can give happiness!

Among the four, one was a Karmatha (Ritualistic) who only knew how to
observe, and abstain from, certain rites; the second was a Jnani, who was
puffed up with pride of knowledge and the third was a Bhakta who
surrendered himself completely to God, believing that he was the sole Doer.
When they were discussing and arguing, the question of God turned up, and
they, depending on their unaided knowledge, went in search of Him. Sai, who
was Discrimination and Dispassion incarnate, was one of the four. Being
Himself Brahman Incarnate, some may ask, "Why did He mix with them and act
foolishly?" He did this for attaining the good of the public, and setting
them an example to follow. Though an incarnation Himself, He respected a
low Vanjari, by accpeting his food with the firm belief that "Food is
Brahman" and showed how those who rejected Vanjari's hospitable offer
suffered and how it was impossible to get Jnana without a Guru. The Shruti
(Taittiriya Upanishad) exhorts us to honour and worship mother, father and
preceptor, and to study (learn and teach) the sacred scriptures. These are
the means of purifying our minds and unless this purification is effected,
self-realization is not possible. Neither the senses, nor the mind and
intellect reach the Self. Modes of proof, such as Perception and Inference
will not help us in the matter. It is the grace of the Guru that counts.
The objects of our life such as Dharma, Artha and Kama are attainable with
our effort, but the fourth object, Moksha (liberation) can only he had with
the help of the Guru.

In the Darbar of Shri Sai, many personalities appear and play their part;
astrologers come and give out their predicitions; princes, noblemen,
ordinary and poor men, Sannyasis, Yogis songsters and others come for
darshan. Even a mahar comes and, making a Johar (his salutation), says this
Sai is the Mai-Baap (True parents), Who will do away with our rounds of
births and deaths. So many others such as Jugglers, Gondhalis, the blind
and the lame, Nath-panthis, dancers and other players come and are given
suitable reception. Biding his own time, the Vanjari also appeared, and
played the part assigned to him. Let us now revert to the other story.

Fasting and Mrs. Gokhale

Baba never fasted Himself, nor did He allow others to do so. The mind of
the faster is never at ease, then how could he attain his Paramartha (goal
of life)? God is not attained on an empty stomach; first the soul has to be
appeased. If there is no moisture of food in the stomach and nutrition,
with what eyes should we see God, with what tongue should we describe His
greatness and with what ears should we hear the same? In short, when all
our organs get their proper nutrition and are sound, we can practise
devotion and other sadhanas to attain God. Therefore, neither fasting nor
overeating is good. Moderation in diet is really wholesome both to the body
and mind.

One Mrs. Gokhale came to Shirdi with an introductory letter from Mrs.
Kashibai Kanitkar (a devotee of Baba) to Dada Kelkar. She came to Baba with
a determination to sit at Baba's Feet observing a three days fast. The day
previous, Baba said to Dada Kelkar, that He would not allow his children to
starve during the Shimga, i.e., Holi holidays, and that if they had to
starve, why was He there? Next day when the woman went with Dada Kelkar and
sat at Baba's Feet, Baba at once said to her, "Where is the necessity of
fasting? Go to Dadabhat's house, prepare the dish of Puran POlis (wheat
rotis with gram-flour and jaggery), feed his children and yourself too."
Shimga holidays were on. Mrs. Kelkar was then in her menses and there was
nobody to cook in Dadabhat's house. So Baba's advice was very timely. Then
Mrs. Gokhale had to go to Dadabhat's house and prepare the dish as
directed. She cooked that day, fed others and herself. What a good story
and how beautiful its import!

Baba's Sircar

Baba gave a story of his boyhood as follows:- "When I was a youngester, I
was in search of bread and went to Beedgaum. There I got embroidery work. I
worked hard, sparing no pains. The employer was very much pleased with Me.
Three other boys worked before Me. The first got Rs. 50/- the second Rs.
100/- and the third Rs. 150/-. And I was given twice the whole of this
amount, viz. Rs. 600/-. After seeing my cleverness, the employer loved me,
praised me and honoured me with a full dress, a turban for the head and a
shell a for the body, etc. I kept this dress intact withoutusing it. I
thought that what a man might give does not last long and it is always
imperfect. But what My Sircar (God) gives, lasts to the end of time. No
other gift from any man can be compared to His. My Sircar says "Take,
take," but everybody comes to me and says 'Give, give.' Nobody attends
carefully to the meaning of what I say. My Sircar's treasury (spiritual
wealth) is full, it is overflowing. I say, "Dig out and take away this
wealth in cartloads, the blessed son of a true mother should fill himself
with this wealth. The skill of my Fakir, the Leela of my Bhagwan, the
aptitude of my Sircar is quite unique. What about Me? Body (earth) will mix
with earth, breath with air. This time won't come again. I go somewhere,
sit somewhere; the hard Maya troubles Me much, still I feel always anxiety
for My men. He who does anything (spiritual endeavour) will reap its fruit
and he who remembers these words of Mine will get invaluable happiness."

Bow to Shri Sai - Peace be to all

The material universe that you perceive through your mind, speech, eyes,
ears and other senses is an illusory creation that one imagines to be real
due to the influence of maya (illusion). In fact, you should know that all
of the objects of the material senses are temporary.

I am present everywhere -- in water, on land, or even in a dry twig; among
men and in wilderness; I pervade even the radiant sky.
