Do you love simple saibaba or decorated Saibaba

sairam friends
Since the message must not hurt any purticular individuals i am not telling the temple name ….lets generally call it saibaba temple. I go to Saibaba temple in my hometown everyday for years. This morning i got a dream like this…

The dream as below…

I am standing near dhuni ( sacred fire ) and one girl whom i just say sairam once in a while is asking ,”did u feel the application form”. i ask for what..shes teasing me saying for the orphanage. I just smile .

soon i see my old school friend saravana kumar who looks sad. He tells me his wife is behaving rude to him and he dunno what to do. At this time i get calls from many of my friends who hurted me in past but i dont bother to attend their call. I wanted to do sai’s work which is helping my friend be devoted to sai and solve his family problem by sai bhakti .

Then i go inside the main hall of temple .To my surprise it was all broken.The main Shirdi Saibaba statue was also not there and it seems they are doing some contruction work. I see many kids with their parents. It seems as if the temple itself is rented to some school function and many children have wrote with crayons all over the temple wall. I can also see sweet drawings over the walls

I am not shocked by this and casually walking around temple…the pradhikshana though theres no sai statue there.

I see behind the wall its so clean and beautiful and people have decorated in a inlay in the wall keeping small saibaba statue and made a interior like land scape over which sai statue is placed..i loved it n call my friend kanna to see.. I also see another decoration like this.

Suddenly i see a small “LITTLE PONY” 2 mother and their kids pet. the little pony was so cute and i am touching it saying ‘dont bite me” ..he brings his mouth to my knee and goes away….

Then i see the temple priest holding a huge glass and cleaning it but no sai statue.

I suddenly see myself and my friend vengadesh over the top of temple as if we have been there to have darshan of some god. While we are trying to get down theres no stair case. so we have to hold a iron rod and get down . I am holding a iron rod to get down from sun shade and same time bunch of guys are climbing to the top holding same iron structure. I say them be soft as its temple..

I dint like the fact that all of them climb same time. suddenly the iron rod structure colapses. All of them fall down but no major injury…i am holding on to temple wall holding 2 iron rods and shouting someone tie a rope around me. As am doing this many police comes to the temple ground and looking up.A group of construction workers bring a ladder and save me.

I come down and they are opening a jeep which contains full of chocolates , snacks and sweets.

I say myself i was about to make my parents live without me but sai has saved me. Then i take a half piece of chocolates from my own pocket and have it.

Thats the dream

what i understood from this dream..

Its hard and at times not a good habit to interpret sai dreams …we can try to some extent and leave the rest to sai

i understood that many people come to saibaba temple now a days and some of them who keeps doing some decoration to saibaba during festive days see sai as “Alangara porul” decorative item. Not all but i feel some of them are proud of their decoration that they feel happy only when they did such decoration ….

In saibaba temple in go regularly past 2 years its becoming a habit to do decoration to main garbagraham featuring sai as lord surya, or as if sai is in garden or as if sai is Mahalakshmi etc .

Its sweet to look but saibaba says devotees must see him beyond how he looks beautiful or not. Sai atman wants to feel the bhakti in one after decoration and not even a small feeling that i did decoration so sai looks beautiful.

Infact i also have taken many photos with saibaba statue in my house which you can see all over this website. At the same time its not the decoration i did , its the bhakti i and many of sai devotees show on sai which makes the sai seem to be beautiful and powerful .

The more faith we show on Sai photo and saibaba statue, the more powerfully sai works for welfare of our family

secondly , i realized sai speaking about 2-3 people misunderstanding me and spreading stupid things about me. I just gave a arti meaning print out book to a girl who sings arti  near Saibaba everyday.

That too i gave in front of her father and 2 men asked the girl n her father probably to be careful with me…( As if i dont am behind that girl.probably this man has such impure mind NOT ME ) .From then on they stopped lighting lamps as i requested. The best part is i ask very few people to light lamps etc and i wonder why they do it and suddenly stop lighting lamps as if they did for my sake.

If they like it, let them do it for sai sake when ever they wish. Further since i don’t like this behavior of the man who spoke wrong about me i keep away when ever this man comes.So even after month this incident happened he is spreading bad name about me to his group of friends in temple.

Well, i went to one of my sai friends Kavitha and kannan uncle house  who helped me realize i only did good so i must not think about how they take it. Further they told a very good point which is

When you do any sai seva, dont see the results. Let the results be surrendered in holy feets of sai. Neither feel happy when people appreciate you or feel so upset when people hurt you.

So i completely took it as saibabas lesson and forgot the matter. What irritates me is even after months togather this man staring at me as if i did something wrong.

It really hurts me how people are interested in spreading wrong idea about others and enjoying it. In every saibaba temple all over india and abroad i used to get mails from sai devotees who say they are hurt by the organizers , who are hurt by priest who spoke harshly etc.  Some people show off as if they do everything for Saibaba in temple but internal affection is more important than showing externally that i do this and that..With this ego they dont mind hurting or doing harm to other devotees.

May be saibaba shows that he will save me from such harmful people and finally bless me with his loads of gift

Thirdly, as we all saw in dream the temple itself looks as if rented to children’s function . Saibaba has seen all people who come to temple as his children but some children who comes regularly has not seen the main saibaba’s inner soul  .They have seen where ever they feel sai is decorated beautifully.

Probably sai wants to say

“see me and feel me deeply even when i look simple and not so special.”

its the second dream sai blessed me in which i see loads of choclates and gifts

The message was written after the beautiful dream as inspiration and not to point anyone as wrong . Its as simple as it is. Sai leelas are like ocean and one cant easily explore the inner meaning of the dream. Probably you might get your own understanding of this dream and are most welcome to write about it…

even in Shirdi, there are thousands of devotees who look for Saibaba’s dress color, his ornaments , flowers etc and how beautiful the samadhi mandhir saibaba statue is decorated especially the golden simhasan.

The simple fakir of shirdi :

I feel saibaba wants us to see his inner soul.The simple Sai atman, The beautiful Fakir of shirdi was wearing a torn cloth, no crown just a turban around his head with so much of light in his eyes which you can still see in every saibaba statue if only you realize his simplicity.

The Sai in your heart lives even today with torn clothes , few tins , a little satka and a sackful of udi …

Om sainathaya namaha
