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. "

Dear All,

The above quote summarizes the entire MBCA posts in this blog.

In the ego and spirituality, only ego at gross level was handled wherein it was clearly told- " If we think we have done some thing in Sai organization in what ever field  Wong we are in , then it is EGO".  Even when we are appreciated 3 years after we have done some thing and we feel elated within and accept that appreciation with an external word " What I have done, all Swami has done( internally thinking, o man tell more, tell more about my work), then IT IS EGO.

Here, Swami ji deals with the subtlest and the latest of Ego to leave us before we attain perfect freedom. He says, " Identification with Body is Ego". This is what was taught as ASMITA in MBCA posts. You may refer to the post on ASMITA  under MBCA for more clarity.

Then He explains thus:-

Pure knowledge = Jnanam (in Sathyam Jnanam Anantam)  = Chit (in Sat-chit-ananda) = Self illumination.

Worldly knowledge = Knowledge acquired using senses and intellect, once you have identified yourself with body.

This worldly knowledge acquired with our sense and intellect is bound to have coloring of our own impressions, our own prejudices, so it  becomes judgement and not knowledge.

And, He concludes, this judgement caused due to our ego  = Samsara or, it leads to samsara!!

So, the divine call is , 'O man, retrace, from samsara back to intellect, back to senses, back to Identification with Body, back to removal of  basic ignorance of our divinity  and ..... Be free ". 

And when you attain this freedom, you no more acquire knowledge, you exist as source of all knowledge, you exist as reservoir of all ananda of the entire cosmos, you exist as PURE ETERNAL EXISTENCE which is the ETERNAL TRUTH OR SATH!

Love
