Satsang COMPLETE SURRENDER

Satsang COMPLETE SURRENDER

He constantly and invariably prides himself in ruining and in the ruins of
others Thus he not only mars his own life but mars the life of those around
him. Here his intellect works like a knife in the hands of a murderer that
wroughts the hedious, murderous and inhuman act of treachery. Here this
inanimate object-the knife-feels very sorry for having seen the light of the
day and being possessed by an inhuman creature, to suffer the hell for
having done some inhuman act. Thus such a man becomes a nuisance and an
obnoxious person to the society.

The root cause of this inhuman behaviour is the Ego, 'the I-feeling*. The
Ego I all through the life of a man right from the cradle to the grave
completely pervades and incessantly dictates the human mind and paves the
way for a hedious hell. This Ego ‘I' makes him forget all the invaluable
values attached to the sense of honesty, faithfulness, truthfulness,
sincerity, compassion, love, non-violence and thereby giving place to
unauthenticity, disloyalty, falsehood, frivolity, fraud, distrust, cruelty,
hatred, malice, and violence at last. The treasure of all the good qualities
is disappearing from the dictionary and vanishing from the human mind and
soul.

This I feeling goads a man to tresspass over the rights of others just for
the sake of satisfaction of his own 'selfish instincts. The states and
countries also will never prove an exception to this egocentric instinct.
The very frequent clashes between nations and nations even with the coming
up of U. N. O. with a very benevolent desire to pave the way for universal
peace, are the very valid and outstanding proofs of this inhuman act. As
long as man is under the spell of egocentrism he runs after a shadow. Once
he throws off this false guise and frees himself from the clutches of
illusion then only he begins to think of the substance, the reality. But he
gets this spark in him only when he completely submits and surrenders
himself at the holy feet and sweet will of Sadguru Sai Baba.

The prudent man will never give any undue value to this illusory and
deluding world and this perishable and muddy body. He will always feel that
this life is a peregrination between life and death and he himself a
traveller resting for a while in this earth, the caravanserai till his
journey's end serving the human souls for which he is sent for and to return
to his real and eternal home, the Heaven. This is one way of looking at the
life.

Another way of looking at life is that this Universe is a vessel in which he
is journeying in the sea of mundane existence the driver of which is Baba
the Almighty and the-all-pervading. Here he submits himself completely to
the sweet will of Baba the God either to take him safe to the shore or to
drown him half way in the sea as we completely surrender ourselves to the
sweet will and fancy of the driver of a bus, a train or plane when we are
travelling during the course of our daily routine life either to take us
towards the destination or to meet with some sudden disastrous accident half
way.
This sort of complete surrender and submission to Sadguru Sai Baba will only
help the poor suffering souls to attain salvation from the wheel of life
revolving on the axis of birth and rebirth.
