Sai Satcharitra-Shirdi Sai-Importance Of Sai Leela
Preliminary
The Vedas and the Puranas cannot sufficiently praise (describe) Brahma or Sad-guru; then how can we, who are ignorant, describe our Sad-guru Shri Shirdi Sai Baba? We think that it is better for us to keep quiet in this matter. In reality the observance of the vow of silence is the best way of praising the Sad-guru; but the good qualities of Sai Baba make us forget our vow of silence and inspire us to open our mouth. Good dishes taste flat if there be no company of friends and relations to partake of the dishes with us, but when they join us, the dishes acquire additional flavour. The same is the case with the Sai Leelamrit - the nectar in the form of Sai's leelas. This nectar we cannot partake alone. Friends and brothers have to join us - the more the better.
Sai Ram. This series of articles titled “Spiritual Gems from Sri Sai Satcharitra" also arose from that desire to share the sweetness experienced by this devotee and also because of the desire expressed by some friends. It is of course a fact that unless He wills it, no one can reach Him in any form including remembering His name, reading His stories, listening to the bhajans that praise Him or go to a Sai Mandir. Sadguru is none other than the Paramatma Himself, in a form that is accessible to us so that we realize our own innate unity with Him. Sai Ram.
It is Sai Baba Himself that inspires these stories and gets them written as He desires. Our duty is to surrender completely to Him and meditate on Him. Practising penance is better than pilgrimage, vow, sacrifice, and charity. Worshipping Hari (Lord) is better than penance, and meditation on the Sadguru is the best of all. We have, therefore, to chant Sai's name by mouth, think over His sayings in our mind, meditate on His form, feel real love for Him in our heart and do all our actions for His sake. There is no better means than this for snapping the bondage of samsar. If we can do our duty on our part as stated above, Sai is bound to help and liberate us. Now we revert to the stories of this chapter.
