Sairam friends,
What’s Sai devotion?
Is it listening to Aarti?
Is it reading Sai Satcharitra regularly?
Is it doing some pooja and going to temple?
I have done all this for the past several years and still I am not able to call myself as someone honestly devoted to Saibaba.
To be “Honestly” devoted to Saibaba, one must learn to live accepting all ups and downs, pains and pleasure in life. On the other hand, our devotion on Saibaba is wavering when we are facing any difficulty. We tell Saibaba that he’s not taking care of us.
I realized that I have been cheating myself and the whole world that I am devoted to Sai. I hate this external show off of devotion. At this moment when I write this, I feel “FREE”and hence I feel the real love towards Sai in my heart.
We must be “Free” to be really devoted to Sai.
No commitments. No rules. We must not be answerable to any one. Now a days, I am trying to experiment if I can think of Saibaba intensely for few minutes everyday.
I don’t want to do anything to satisfy this world. Its such a cruel world. Have you seen Saadhus and true servants of God just walking with no worries? They just live their life. Practically, its hard to live this way. I just wish to spare few minutes for Shirdi Saibaba every single day. I must just think about Sai during these moments.
Just love Sai
Venkat
