Hindu scriptures have extensively extolled the virtues and role of the Sadgurus and Gurus. In Buddism, Jainism and Sikhism also, the role of the Gurus in evolving the devotees, in ushering in a better social order and their spiritual and miraculous powers has been accepted. In Christianity and many other religions in the world the divine role of these magnificent personalities, variedly known as Apostles, Perfect Masters, Masters, Qutubs, etc. has been accepted. Ever since the human civilization developed its consciousness, there always have been some who opened the treasures of knowledge in different fields of knowledge including the spiritual field. The methods of imparting such knowledge have not always been in a formalized manner. That is why the parents, who teach the infant to grow are held as the first Gurus of the child and are held in the highest esteem in Hinduism. The parents have been eulogized in the Hindu literature and scriptures.

Thus, in the formal systems of education starting from the stage of Baby sitting in a nursery to the stage of super-specialization in any field, imparting knowledge has been made the responsibility of the teachers, Professors, etc. The Hindu society, in earlier times also had a formalized educational system under the Gurus. We had Gurukula Ashramas. However, the modern education system does not prescribe for such Gurus. The difference is that whereas in the earlier Hindus system of education a lot of religious sanctity was attached to these Gurus, in today's society, the religious sanctity is not there. The Gurus of the past have been depicted as highly honorable personalities of a lofty nature. Besides opening the different vistas of knowledge, the teacher or the Guru is supposed to be a role model for the pupils. Even today, good teachers are highly appreciated by the students and the society.

Thus the "Guru" has been a universally accepted and respected concept of the society from whom the society drew wisdom. In a way one can say that a society will be what its teachers are. History lends evidence that the best societies of the world had the best teachers and the worst societies had the worst teachers or Gurus.

However, except the spiritual Guru, the job of the other Gurus ends with the imparting of knowledge in certain fields. The role of the spiritual Gurus or Sadgurus is much more expansive and is much above the ordinary Gurus. A Sadguru or Guru is a unique phenomenon of nature. The Kulgurus, Siksha Gurus, the Mantragurus, etc. impart knowledge within their limits. The Sadguru, on the other hand using his spiritual powers can evolve the human souls by leading them through a path of piety, discipline and conduct. Not only this but by awakening the inner spiritual potentialities of the pupils or devotees through a method called 'Shaktipaat' they prepare the devotees to become the instruments of God to serve others. Whereas in the formal system of education, the teachers are paid for the duties they perform, in the spiritual field these highly evolved beings do not want any material returns. The only thing they seek is evolution of the souls of the devotees so that they became the agents to carry out Gods will. When they take care of any devotee, they give them training through a series of direct experiences. Therefore, formal education when compared with the knowledge imparted by the Gurus is very limited. It is basically meant for giving knowledge, skill and an attitude (an exercise in the personality building of the students). Such teachings are basically meant to carry-out a liveli-hood or to enhance their intellectual creativity in a certain field. The Sadgurus however, give direct knowledge through a chain of experiences leading to the purification of the souls.

These Masters are themselves evolved souls having gone through a process of evolution through a series of births and deaths and therefore, are competent enough to lead the devotees in the path of God realisation.

Some people have a wrong concept that these Gurus, who sometimes do not adorn the garb of a modern man, are unintelligent and emotional propagators of an imaginary concept of God. What they fail to understand is that an evolved species of the human race will not be governed by the rules of a society which they had left far behind in time. Further, their consciousness is highly evolved to comprehend any issue on which their consciousness is focused. Their powers of concentration and performance are the highest and their brain capacity is immense.

Every human being not only wants to learn the biggest things of life but also the smallest ones. To get the best results from such teaching some factors are essentially required. They are; the time spent both by the teacher and the pupil together, the eagerness of both the student and the teacher to learn and teach respectively, the emotional relationship between the teacher and the pupil and most important of all, the capacity of the pupil to receive the teachings. When one wants to specialize in only one out of the thousands streams of knowledge, one spends a considerable number of years in different academic institutions. From this one can imagine how much of time it would take to learn and practice spiritualism and what quality of relationship is required between the Guru and the disciple.

It is because of this reason that, in the early Hindu society, the pupil (Sishya) and the Gurus used to live together for a number of years tied in an emotional bond.

The outer forms of societies may go on changing but the inner spiritual essence of the human beings always remain the same. The real Spiritual Masters of today are playing the same role but in different forms, adapting to the existing societal ethos. All the creations of God are changeable but the essence of divinity never changes. Therefore, the vital and divine role of these Sadgurus, the agents of knowledge and compassion will never change. Human society will always need them.

Contributed Article:SAI CHINTAN

"Sai Chintan" (ISSN 1545-2174) a Gujarati magazine of Sai consciousness, philosophy and spirituality is being published by Shirdi Saibaba Sanstha (a non-profit organization) Chicago. To be released on 13th July- Gurupurnima day, the magazine will focus on the vision of Shri Sai Baba who lived in Shirdi in the 19th century but His message to the world is relevant over the ages and will be till time immemorial.

Sai Chintan will provide a platform for Sai devotees who are in distant lands to connect to them and share their experiences. This magazine will feature the innumerable and multifaceted aspects of Sai Baba's personality, His life and teachings as well as the traditions carried forward by His faithful devotees. Sai Chintan will bring Baba's sayings, articles on Baba's life and teachings, bhajans, poems, and events that occurred before and after the Maha Samadhi of Baba.

That Baba is not a stranger to Gujarati community can be realized by reading "Shri Sai Satcharitra", the mirror of Baba's life and early issues of "Sai Leela". Megha, Upasani Maharaj, Swami Sai Sharan Anand, Saint Mota and others walked on spiritual path by Baba's grace before and after Maha Samadhi. Today much literature on Sai philosophy and consciousness is available in various languages other than Gujarati. This magazine aims to fill that gap.

Interested devotees can request a complimentary copy of the inaugural issue by contacting the Chicago Sanstha. To receive the complimentary issue, devotees may register either by postal mail, fax or email. Registration forms are available online at www.saibaba.org/saichintan.html or by calling the Sanstha at 847-931-4058.

In the post-industrialized New Millennium, consumerism is slowly being replaced world over by a growing consciousness of the wisdom of the East and importance of spiritual strength is being recognized once again. Magazine such as Sai Chnintan may be the instrument that will set the path in this direction and unite people from across the globe in a spiritual fervor that will yet again prove the Omnipresence of Divinity. It is aptly led by exclusive focus on Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi who epitomized religious tolerance and love and compassion for fellowmen. He who inspired millions during His life continues to be a beacon of enlightenment even today and the objective of this magazine is to propagate His message to a much larger audience.

Contributed Article:Bhaja Govindam Sloka 26 (Attributed to Bharati Vamsa)

Kaamam Krodham Lobham Moham
Tyaktvaa(a)tmaanam Pasyati So'ham
Aatmagyaana Viheenaa Moodhaah
Te Pachyante Narakanigoodhaah
Bhaja Govindam, Bhaja Govindam....

Meaning:
Kaamam - desire, Krodham - anger, Lobham - greed, Moham - delusion, Tyaktvaa - having left, Aatmaanam - the Self, Pasyati - see (the seeker), So'ham - 'He am I', Aatmagyaana Viheenah - those who have no self-knowledge, Moodhaah - the fools, Te - they, Pachyante - are tortured, Narak nigoodhaah - in hell as captives.

Substance:
Free yourself from desire (or lust), anger, greed, and delusion. Meditate on who you are. Ask of yourself, Who am I? The fools who fail to understand the self are caught even here in hell-fire and suffer torture.

Commentary:
The root cause of all other evil things is the desire. All these are various forms of the evil known as desire. Desire is the root cause for forcing one to hanker for sense-satisfaction. Desire in itself is not wrong, but which is contrary to dharma and induces one to achieve the desired object by any means is dangerous. Without hope, which is another form of desire, there is no life. So, one should assess the ingenuity of the desire that crops up in one's mind through discrimination, before deciding hoe to pursue it.

It is not that easy to get rid of desires. Because, if one desire is satisfied, another wells up. There is no end to it. One thinks that one can be happy if the first desire is satisfied and with that starts the endless chain of desires and one does not find an end to it. It goes on until one leaves the body. That is the reason, one must be ever ready to eschew the desire the moment it springs in the mind, especially when such a desire it unreasonable. The mind must be diverted to something else, preferably to good thoughts or spiritual thoughts.

The beauty is that there is no room for two thoughts in the mind at the same time. So, if one succeeds in engaging the mind by lodging and entertaining it with good thoughts always, there is no room for bad thoughts at all. A sinful thought pollutes the pure heart, even if it is in dormant state, as it springs up at an opportune moment. Since anger gives birth to hatred, one should take maximum care and precaution to keep away all kinds desires from the mind. When one desire is not fulfilled, it sows the seed of anger. It is the greatest enemy of man. Anger harms not only the self but also others. The more one feels hurt, the more the intensity of the anger. Anger reduces one's reasoning ability reducing him to an animal. Then Lobha or greed signifies the profitless pursuit of things unaware of their real nature and lack of value. Lobha is such a desire that one is not entitled or eligible but still one wants to have it. For example, one wishes to do all such things to make others to believe so that one gets a good name in the society. Such actions are mere pretensions, not born out of a noble thought or one really intends to serve other. All glitters are not gold is the clear example of Lobha, as in the present day world, most of us go for the outward shine and the price, without knowing what is its use ultimately. Moha is the attachment to worldly things that will make one to forget the Actual Source of Pleasure. We should grow from the objective knowledge to the subjective knowledge to understand the real nature of the Supreme Source. The knowledge that we gain from the books may make our lives happy in a materialistic sense, but that knowledge does not teach us anything about our own Self. The real knowledge, which makes us to realize what we are, is the spiritual knowledge. That is what we should opt for always. The spiritual knowledge is the key to discover one's Self and once it is achieved, the meaning of So'ham, as said in this sloka, will become clear.

Experiences of Devotees

Kiran Buddi
Submitting myself at the lotus feet of sadguru Shri Sainath maharaj, I would like to share my experience with SAI devotees. It was in Hastings-Minnesota where Gurubhandhus from other parts of USA have gathered on the banks of Mississippi river at a shelter in the Spring park reserve. Devotees were given an opportunity to introduce themselves to the rest of the group and share their experience. This is my first experience sharing with other SAI devotees after I became a devotee of Baba. I was not believer in Baba until the Year 2002 unlike my wife who has been a humble devotee of Baba for long time. She used to perform regular abhishek to Baba on every Thursday and read satcharitra. I was at loss to understand why she spends so much time reading satcharitra and performing abhishek to Baba and it did not simply mean anything to me until I experienced myself the divine bliss of sadguru. I was searching for a stable job as the start up company where I was working has limited financial resources. I kept searching for job for more than 4 months but nothing has worked for me. One day while traveling with my wife she told me to pray Baba for blessing me with job and then I shall visit Shirdi, I said Yes, I will visit Shirdi if Baba helps me find a job. I got a full time job with a good company and this was my first experience with Baba.

Does one miracle from Baba make be a believer of Baba? Does this make me surrender my ego at the lotus feet of sadguru Sainath maharaj? Does the statement "No matter how far is my devotee .. s/he shall be drawn to Shirdi like a thread tied to the feet of a sparrow" hold true to me? How many more miracles Baba has to show me to make me believe in him?

While sharing this experience in front my SAI devotees I literally broke down, my voice is choked and tears in my eyes along with my wife. How stupid and foolish I must be to judge the power of old man who has given me life but still trying to test his supreme power to believe myself in him. I cried in front of Baba's picture because I tested the power of old man more than once to believe in him and I resolved never and ever underestimate the power of old man. Please be with us - O Lord Sainath and shower your grace on us as always!!

Swathi Reddy
Oh! SRI SAIBABA, why are you not letting me come to Shirdi? I should have been extremely happy if you had let me come to see you at Shirdi before I leave to my college. But now, its very near for me to leave to college and you didn't turn up. Why are you doing this GOD? Baba, thanks a lot for giving me your darshan early morning on my Birthday...I am so happy for that. Hope this year will do good to me by your grace..Please , Bless me to do good in my studies..Love you GOD!

Devotees say...

Sathya Menon
Koti Koti pranamam to my god...BABA I was amazed to read about the article on gratitude and devotion because it was like baba had directly answered my questions. I am a single woman living abroad and experiencing Baba's miracles all around me. I lost my job and within a matter of weeks got another job, which was far better in terms of salary, work environment and the job profile. I thank Baba whose loving caring stroke of hand delivered this blessing to me. However, there are a few problems with my visa and I was fervently praying to baba and at the same time making myself understand that baba does what ever need to be done for the best and that he will take care of this problem. This article on gratitude and devotion struck a cord and made me realize that may be I was showing gratitude but not complete surrender. Baba please guide me so that I can completely surrender myself in you. I am trying to follow what is said in the Sai Sat Charita....before consuming any food, I say "baba I take this food as your prasad", develop awareness that every thing that happen in life is a blessing from baba and thank him for all his blessings, believe in charity and self less giving etc. I am really interested to know how else I can move from mere gratitude to complete devotion. Baba give me the strength and understanding to follow this.

P. Ananthashayanam
Baba, Please solve my financial problems. Baba, I am staying in a leased house for the past 3 years, Baba, I came to know the owner of my house is going to sell the house.

Baba, thanks for your message during pooja on June 22. Baba, I am unable to solve my financial problems without your help. Baba, please be with me always. Baba, Please give my son good health, good education, and good behavior. Baba, also give good health to all the members of my family. Sri Satchidananda Samartha Sadguru Sainath Maharaj Ki Jai.

Quotation of the Week

Question of the Week

Q. How does a Sai devotee define "Perfection"?

A. by Sai devotee

For every Sai devotee, Baba's life is the true definition for "Perfection". In Sai Sacharitra, Sri Hemadpant wrote Baba's teachings to his devotees how to lead a perfect life. Baba's discourses clearly indicate to shun all the differences of caste, creed and religion amongst us and treat everyone equally. Throughout His life, Baba lived a perfect and simple life without any attachments or desires. He always sought alms from the people of Shirdi, when His devotees were ready to give anything and everything. All He had was His clothes, a Satka and an empty tin. His showed us how to lead a life with complete Vairagya, which in turn will lead to Moksha. In all His preaching, Baba encouraged righteousness and compassion towards the needy people. Baba taught us how to achieve the level of perfection in every walk of life. Thus, Baba's avatar is a perfect definition of "PERFECTION" for every devotee to lead a perfect life.

Question of the Week

Q. How does a Sai devotee define "Ignorance"?

A. by Syamala Hari

Not being able to see what is real and what is unreal is ignorance. Once I went to a Magic House which was full of delusions, one room was pitch dark, another had all walls covered with mirrors and so on. In any room, the real exit does not appear like an exit but everything else appears like an exit. So, although a voice from above (like a Guru) guides you how to get out of the room, you cannot follow it at once because what you heard does not sound like truth and you think that the voice could be part of the magic too. After trying every unreal exit and failing, finally you follow the direction from the voice and get out of that room. Where did the ignorance come from? Indian Philosophy says Maya brings it. To emphasize the power of Maya, Baba said " Though I have become a Fakir, 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 forgot 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? Those who take refuge in the Lord will be freed from Her clutches with his grace".

Self realization, that is to know who I really am, is Knowledge. To think that I am the body and I am not God, I am limited, I do not exist when the body dies and to feel unhappy, when our real nature is perfect bliss is due to ignorance. In Satcharitra, Hemadpant quotes from 'The Creative Period' by Messrs. Belvalkar and Ranade, the essence of Ishavasyopanishad - One who sees all beings in the Self and sees the Self as existing in all beings, for whom all beings and everything that exists have becomes the Self would have no reason for grief. Loathfulness, infatuation and grief verily proceed from our not being able to see the Atman in all things.

But a man, who realizes the oneness of all things, for whom everything has become the Self, must ipso facto, cease to be affected by the common foibles of humanity. So, not being able to see this Oneness is ignorance. Baba said, "The idea that I am the body is a great delusion, and attachment to this idea is the cause of bondage." In His interpretation of the verse, Tadviddhi Pranipatena from the Bhagawad-Gita to Nanasaheb Chandorkar Baba explained what ignorance (Ajnana) is and that Knowledge (Jnana) dawns as soon as ignorance is removed. The Sad-guru is Nirguna, Sat-Chit-Ananda. He has indeed taken human form to elevate mankind and raise the world. But his real Nirguna nature is not destroyed thereby, even a bit. His all pervasiveness, divine power and wisdom remain undiminished. The disciple also is in fact of the same swarupa. But, it is overlaid by ignorance, which is the effect of the samaskaras of innumerable births, and which hides from his view that he is Sat-Chit-Ananda. Because of ignorance, he gets the impressions -I am Jiva, a creature, humble and poor. The SadGuru awakens the disciple by teaching - "You are God, you are mighty, imperishable and all pervading", and shakes the perpetual delusion under which the disciple is laboring, that he is the body, that he is a jiva or ego, that God (Paramatma) and the world are different from him. From actions based on it, he has derived his joy, sorrows and mixtures of both. To remove this delusion, this error, this root ignorance, he must start the inquiry. How did the ignorance arise? Where is it? And to show him this is called the Guru's upadesh.
