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

"Yemee Ninnupekshintuna?" (What! do I ignore you?) book
written by the author, (in Telugu) describes in detail varied
experiences of several devotees of Baba and how he is present
with them in their hours of distress and moments of gloom how
he transformed their lives. It will become voluminous if the
details are narrated here. We may not be able to convince
a sceptic about Baba's real nature, even if we cite thousands
instances proving his capabilities.
Lord Sri Krishna says: "The man of faith, the devoted, the master
of his senses, obtains true knowledge. Having gained it, he at
once attains supreme peace (realizing God). The ignorant, one
who lacks faith, the doubting self who is led astray from spiritual
path will not have any happiness in this world or in his next birth."
(Bhagavadgita 4-39,40)

We should know the incarnation of the Almighty, Samardha
Sadguru by our own experience. No one can induce faith in others.

The essence of all religions is found in the maxim: "Holy scriptures -
Teachings of Guru - Your own experience. These three should form
a basis and combining them suitably, one should carefully formulate
his ideals and practices to be followed by him to lead his life. He
should adhere to them. It will be the greatest and best support for
him to over come the obstacles, and difficulties in life and finally
attain his objective". All those belonging to different religious sects,
and seeking Baba's blessings, firmly believed that they were before
a Divine Presence, a Samardha Sadguru with whose grace only
they could realize God. They felt that religious intolerance was
ridiculous and should be detested at all costs. They considered
Baba as their Guru, worshipped Him and secured his blessings.
Baba inculcated the feeling of mutual respect and love among the
people of different religions. He accepted their worship and showed
them a path to follow, acceptable to all religions. He fostered in
them noble qualities such as truthfulness, compassion, and good
behaviour.

To be contd....
