SAI'S PEBSONALITY


SAIS PEBSONALITY

No power on earth can assess SAI's personality. He is unparallel not only in the history of human beings but Saint's as well. His motherly love, sweet and nectar like words are unforgettable chapters. He was an embodiment of several and most appreciable requisites.

Inwardly he was always engrossed in self realisation. He spoke very liberally and freely. He conquered the hearts of all the people including those who had no belief in him. His behavior and action was very peculiar and unique. He was all-pervasive. He used to tell a number of wonderful stories. He allowed his devotees to serve in any way, they liked including shampooing his legs. He who had no peace of mind was made peaceful, sins atoned and bad habits removed. He purified the hearts. He had patience and tolerance in abundance. He had full belief in Karma.

He made no distinction between a rich or poor, big or small, Hindu or Muslim. People were immensely benefited by having his darshan. He was impartial and a reservoir of solace. The cruel people were changed into soft. He used to derive pleasure in serving the humanity, day and night Prof. G.G. Narke says BABA's words were highly cryptic symobical, and allegorical.

He was Guru of Gurus. (Sad Guru), The qualities, viz; non-atta­chment, knowledge, simplicity and above all generosity, were in him.

BABA explained the inscrutable powers of Maya in these words, "As I have became a fakir, I have no house or wife and though leaving off all cares. I have Stayed at one place. The inevitable, Maya teases me often. Though I forget Myself I cannot forget Her, She always envelops me. This Maya (illusive power) of the Lord(SHRI HARI) teases GOD Brahma and others, then what to speak of a poor Fakir like ME? How sweet and meaningful are these words?

BABA's wonderful way of testing the devotees is one of the most striking characteristics. To quote an instance once SAI BABA went to Upasani Maha Baja in disguise of a naked Fakir. Upasani refused to offer Naivedya to BABA prepared for his Deity. When he came to know that the beggar was none except SAI BABA, he repented and requested BABA to pardon.

He cut jokes in times of leisure and contemplation. He behaved like a man and used to sing and dance. When Megha, one of his most favorite devotee died, BABA shed tears and he too participated in the funeral orations Megha.

The name of Allah was always in his lips. He honored religious books like Quoran, Ramayana, Bible etc; and advised devotees to go through Vishnu Sahasra Nam. He said that the scared books are very valuable and prove effacious in the most critical times. He was yogi who had perfect control over body and mind.

It is the special characteristics of BABA to keep the devotees under suspense and create the element of fear. This is perhaps to incre­ase devotion towards the Almighty.

BABA addressed women as mother, men as kaka, bapu Bhai etc', It is seen that many a saints left houses went to forests, caves, far away from the worldly people for mediation and were self absorded. After attaining GOD vision, the Saints rarely bother about the worldly people. SAI BABA's case is quite different. He lived around us. Led the life of a begger, taught people how to behave.

HIS belonging consisted of a tumrel (tin pot) zoli, a challam tobocco, long kafni (piece of white cloth round his head) and a satka (short stick).

HE was full of love beauty, purity, patience and divinity. His mercy was magnanimously pervasive and captivatingly persuasive.

Another distinguishing feature of his life was selflessness, regularity and practicability. HE was the doctor of doctor’s great spiritual soul and social reformer. HE elevated SHIRDI. No saint is a comparison to him in all aspects and respects in the realm of spiritualism.

As depicted by Shri Hemadpant BABA's life contains the wisdom of vedas, upanishads and Geeta in the shape of stories and miracles.

SAI BABA is the eternal light of the world. Even in darkenss light dawns for those who believe in HIM.

(N.M. DAS in his book SAI THE GOD ON EARTH)
