Saileelamrutha

Om Jai Sairam! Wonderful are the leelas (divine play) of Sadguru Sainath! There is no beginning or end to them. They are by his own nature, poorna (Infinite) and Sadguru Sainath is poorna Brahma (The infinite god or Brahman). Fortunate are we, who get the opportunity to listen to leelas of Sadguru Sainath. They are verily nectar to the ears. I would, by the grace of Sainath, like to describe a wonderful leela which happened to a person here, and was narrated to me by my father. A friend of our family happens to be a great Sai devotee. Her brother lives in New Jersy. I do not know the name of her brother, but it was he who experienced a sweet leela of Sainath. This person lives alone in New Jersy, and because of that he brought a little puppy home. He looks after the pup with lot of love and care. But he is forced to leave it alone and go to work. On one such day, just a few days after getting the pup, he had gone to work. On that day a terrible storm blew over New Jersy. There were h...

Om Sai Ram! Can one measure the depth of the ocean? Can one cover the entire sky with cloth trappings? Can the clouds be unmoved by heavy winds? or can fire burn water? If these things are possible, so is it possible to describe fully, all the glories of Sadguru Sai! His leelas (divine plays) are inscrutable. Where is the hope for a dullard like me then? There is however one way, and it is the lotus feet of the Sadguru. Our life or this samsara (life) can be compared to that of the state of a drowning man. To prevent ourselves from drowning in the deep abyss maya, one must float onto the surface by clinging onto the raft called the lotus feet of the sadguru. By submitting our ego to the Sadguru, we can be fearless and assured of crossing over this ocean called samsara by his able guidance. Hence, it is by submitting my ego to Sadguru Sai, and knowing fully well that he is the doer and "I" a mere instrument, I go onto describe the greatness of the Saints. In the previous post...

Om Jai Sai Ram! This universe is the Sadguru and nothing else. The whole world is pervaded by the Sadguru and the whole world dwells within him. It is only by the grace of sadguru that one can hope to achieve the most important aim in this life, viz salvation. I cannot stress enough on the fact that the task I have undertaken is audacious, and it is impossible for a dullard like me to sing the glories of the sadguru. However, by clinging onto the Sadguru's lotus feet and realizing that he alone is the doer, and I the instrument, I proceed to sing his glory. All praise be to Sadguru Sainath Maharaj. I now go onto narrate a beautiful tale of several saints, who were verily divine incarnations and had come to lighten the burden of mother earth. In the previous post I described how Lord Jnanadeva and his brothers and sisters met several saints in Pandharpur, foremost among them being Santha Namadeva, Chokar Mela, Janabai. It was also seen that though Santha Namadeva was the staunchest ...
