Sairam friends,
I am not really writing good articles filled with devotion these days and simply expressing whats coming to my mind. I really feel the necessity of expressing devotion deep in my heart so that it inspires Shirdi Sai Baba devotees. There are few things in life we do for no reason. StarSai cannot be such an meaningless act. May be after few years when I have better experiences with Sai, I might be able to express pure devotion in me on Saibaba.
Yesterday I was thinking if its right for me to simply make fun without focusing on divinity of Life. There are so many little things Sai might expect me to do in StarSai but I have not realized it. I can’t become a saint or a saadhu who can leave everything and roam across the Nation and that’s not what Sai expects from me. May be I can bring out the essence in Sai devotion and make people realize the greatness of Sai.
Life isn’t always going to turn out as we desire. Total Surrender to the Guru’s holy feet is simply accepting Saibaba no matter what happens in life. We only perceive Sai as a Saint who is going to fulfill our wishes and make our life more comfortable and happy.
For many Sai devotees like me, the problem is having Faith on the Desire being fulfilled by Sai and not Sai himself.
Did Sai came to us as Guru simply to fulfill our material desires? May be Sai fulfills our desires at times simply to make us desire less. All the troubles I have faced in the past and now is because of my desires and the moment I can give up my desires, I will be able to see the True Sai.
The True Sai is more lively, vibrant and blissful
We only perceive the ability of Saibaba to bless us with what we want in life and have become blind to the True Sai. I am writing this when I am really upset with Sai and wondering whats going to happen in my life. There are times when we are fed up and feel like asking whats the use in being so devoted to Saibaba. My life is still the same. The very fact that I believe Sai will change my life showed my belief in Saibaba but why should I think about change. May be Sai knows what I have now is good for me as of now. May be my time has not come for Sai to bless me with a Positive change.
I like to keep aside my desires and expectations in life and see Sai simply as a Saint who is taking care of me and my family. This way, I will be gradually discovering the “True Sai’
A Two Minute prayer to the “True Sai”
When you simply think of your desires and difficulties in life, you really can’t see a lively Sai and there will be no feeling of blissfulness in mind. We only will be upset and depressed. Instead, for at least 2 minutes everyday, Think of Sai and thank Sai for being there for you.
Tell Sai that you have felt his presence in your life and that alone is enough.Experiencing Shirdi Sai Baba keeping away all other thoughts just for 2 minutes everyday can make you realize the “True Sai” living in yourself.
This month, I have some expenses for StarSai….had to renew domains which I did yesterday. It takes little sacrifice to maintain StarSai network but Sai is helping me do it and next week must request my Sister to pay Hosting fee. Sai has to show me a way as I have few projects planned and have to invest in it.
The best investment is really showing my devotion on Sai. Sai really don’t expects any offerings from us. Simply remembering Sai is more than enough. It satisfies the Guru and also the devotee.
Love,
Venkat
Always in the holy feet of Shirdi Sai Baba
