Sri Sathya Sai Baba



Dear All,

In the year 2006, the above quote, coupled with a devotee's request to start teaching bhajans, made the author start samarpan bhajans in Sai Sadan.  

The aim never was to create a separate cult but to just sit together and learn few bhajans with  Love and Surrender( Samarpan).

And,  he has spoken so many  times about the fact that he has absolutely no  formal knowledge at all in music. 

How ever, when He read the above quote, he replaced the word " talent" with " experience" in the above gospel  and took it as a call from Sai.

So, it was as though Swami commanded him, "What ever experience I have given you in singing my glory ever since 1976, please share the same with every one around".

(Swami graced  child Sathya to start singing bhajans from his child hood and also graced to store in his memory, 1000s of bhajans which he had been hearing from his childhood!!.)


It is true that each one of us have one unique talent/ skill/ speciality and here, Bhagawan says, " All are one, molded out of same material, with the same divine essence, so, Give what ever you have as unique in you, to each and every one whom you come across". When you give, let the thought " I am giving " never come in you, because, everything is He, everything is His.., So, let the inner feeling be " tera tujh ko arpan".

If we are able to meditate and take in the essence of the last line of the divine gospel given above, we have sanctified this life. 

Let us  take this line as a mantra, as we get into the society to serve ourselves rather than serving any one else .

"Let every act be a flower, free from the creeping worms of envy and ego and full  of  FRAGRANCE OF LOVE AND SACRIFICE"

Love

PS- The intuition in 2006 was to share the experience of Bhajans and Bhajan singing with all.

The intuition in 2011 came to share the spiritual experience with few through spiritual sessions. Many came, few learnt and very few sustained.

The time for Bhajans got over in 2013/14  and it stopped as though there was never any bhajan shared, never any bhajan taught to any one!

In 2016, the intuition that arose out of the above  gospel of SAI was, " Your bhajans era is over, you have gone into silence, now how will you share the ananda of your spiritual experience with the mankind"? 

The result is this blog!!! And this will continue till it comes from within, " STOP"!

The beauty of the whole thing which has to be taken in by all is, " Only when one takes up any work due to the inspiration of the divine, due to the divine call from within, the work can be SELF LESS, the work can be done UNCONCENRED of the results, unconcerned of the response, unconcerned of the adoration or censure that comes to the one when he / she responds to the divine call within and starts giving what one has, to the world. "
