Guruvaar Prarthna

Guruvaar Prarthna

 

Our Beloved Sadguru Sainath, please accept our humble prayers on this Holy day of Guruvaar. We are the author of our fate, we ourselves have created this. We ourselves are entirely responsible for this. We are the maker of suffering and joy. Just as a silk worm has created a cocoon for its own destruction, so also we have created this cage of flesh, by our own karma and false egoism. We are slaves of flesh, we are slaves of body and mind, of countless desires. We are sinking deep into ignorance. On this blessed day we pray for Your help to come out of illusory mayaic cage and Your blessings to lead a fulfilled life of peace and patience and we start our prayers after reading the following ovi verses from Your Satcharita. 

 

Sit down and stop worrying. Wise people do not worry. No sooner you stepped into Shirdi, your destined miseries have got over.

 

However deeply immersed in the ocean of trouble or buried deep in the valley of miseries, know that when he climbs the steps of the Masjidmai he will ride on a wave of happiness.

 

The fakir here is very kind. He will destroy your troubles from the very roots and will look after you lovingly. He has tender feelings towards all.

 

Therefore, you be at rest. Stay at Bhimabai's house. You will get relief within a couple of days " .

 

Just like the case of a dying person receiving showers of nectar who immediately revives, such was Patil's satisfaction.

 

Hearing those words of Sainatha were like nectar to a man facing immediate death or water to a man dying of thirst.

 

When he sat in front of Baba for an hour, his vomiting of blood stopped, which otherwise he used to do at intervals of every five minutes.

 

He (Baba) did not examine the patient nor did he ask for the case history. Only with a merciful glance, the disease was destroyed from the root.

 

It is enough to receive a merciful glance. Even a dry stick can sprout leaves, flowers can blossom without spring, and the withered tree can become laden with fruit.

 

Ill health or good health. It's a question of whether the store of good deeds is exhausted or that of the sins. There is no escape but to experience the effects of destiny. 82. He had the disease only because of his fate. This is the rule applied to the cycle of birth and death. There is no other remedy or freedom from it, other than to undergo the sufferings.

 

But, if by good fortune one can get the darshan of a Saint, this is one certain means to cure the illness – and to heal it without suffering.

 

A disease itself shows that this was destiny. But if a Saint casts a merciful glance it takes away the misery out of the destined suffering. 

 

I bow down to Sree Ganesh

I bow down to Sree Saraswati

I bow down to the Guru

I bow down to the Family Deity

I bow down to Sree Sita-Ramachandra

I bow down to Sree Sadguru Sainath.

 

-(from Shri Sai Samartha Satchrita, Chapter 13, Ovi 72 - 84)
