Satsang 'Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi -A God!' by Bapatla Hanumanth Rao Garu

A Sai s devotee should keep away from the eight vices viz.
Desire Envy, Greed, Hypocrisy, Falsehood, Blame Lust and
Anger. Devotion to Sai Baba Means - following the basic
tenets of all religions, equal feeling towards all, and unflinching
faith in Sadguru, Sri Sai Baba. The devotees always felt that
they before a Divine Form (God Incarnate) who is an embodiment
Love, Holiness. Often, Baba used to say to them; "As I love you.

you should love each other". Before him there were no rein
barriers. The feeling of Love is, enduring, universal indescribable.
As the Inner Self of all, He was able to know and everything
happening around the world and rescued his children. With his
grace, he made impossible things happen. They in turn loved him
madly. Baba clearly stated that he reached his present unique
state only due to his Guru's blessings and the root cause for it
is the intense Love towards him. Every one wants removal of
the difficulties and fulfillment of their desires. Such things are
possible through Love only. At Baba's feet, they can get their
wish granted; now and in future also. Religious faiths do not
pose problems to them.


The sanctity of Hinduism - its unity

Baba decided to bring about unity among the followers different
sects of Hinduism. The tenet: "There is only one Universal God"
was well entrenched in the mind of Baba, during his childhood,
when he was under the care of Fakir, a Sufi Saint. Guru Venkusa
imbibed in him (between 6 to 18 years) a thorough-understanding
as to the Nature of God and his manifestation He felt that Lord
Venkateswara, worshipped by his Guru, is no other than 'Allah'
(Supreme God) - All other forms of God, worshipped by his Guru

during pilgrimages, are different forms of the same God and are
called by different names.

It is mentioned in the Sruties "The truth is only one but learned
express it in different ways". Baba understood this truth of the
scriptural saying at a very tender age. Baba preached this to all
his devotees. Let every Hindu realize this truth and inculcate in
their minds that God and Allah are one and the same. Baba is
another incarnation of God.

Thaittereya Upanishad says: "All forms of God Are different
parts of the Absolute."
To be contd....
