Like the Eternal Charioteer—Sanathana Sarathi who declares to doubting Arjuna his real identity and presents him the
eye of Jnana to witness His mighty form—Viswarupa,
Swami declares to his sincere devotees the salient features of His avatar. “ There can be no limit for Sai Shakti, no hindrance,
no opposition or obstacle.You may
believe it or you may not, but Sai Shakthi can transform earth into sky, the
sky into earth. Only there is no call for that transformation. This divine
behavior is far distinct from the mean exhibitionistic tricks of the inferior
shakthis.” Swami continues and says, “ I do not depend on outer manifestation and
actions; I am related to you through the
inner principle of Love.” Swami proclaims that he does not require any
advertisement. “ This is the splendor of
the Sun,” says Swami and affirms, “ it will itself command attention. No one
need be invited to notice it.” Swami finally tells those that doubt Him, “ you
must observe in action my teaching and follow me. Then, certainly My Divine Reality
will be revealed to you.”
It is indeed
our fortune and ‘ poorva punya’ that we are all
contemporaries of Swami. In the words of Swami, “ For, during no previous age did Man have this
unique chance. No organization of this nature was established, no conference of
this character was held in the presence and no opportunity was given then to derive
ananda through such close association,
through conversation and singing together. Undoubtedly, you are all singularly
fortunate.’ ( SSS Vol 7 pp 355-356)
Yes! All of us
are singularly fortunate. Let us not let this rare opportunity slip through our
hands! Let us hold fast and make the best of it with steady faith and devotional
fervor! Let us tread the path shown us by SWAMI—the Sanathana Sarathi in this Kali Yuga---“ and reach the goal of
realizing the REALITY.”
