sai says : Whatever i say happens.
If we see the life history of our sadguru , there are enumerous occasions where people would seek his opinion, to proceed further and satisfy their desires , be it for their materialistic needs, for problems concerning health,permission for travelling , spritual needs and the list goes on. Surprisingly we are doing it even now, what if he not physically around us,we can always feel his presence and we carry on asking whatever we need.Sometimes I feel guilty thinking , I'm using him as my fortune teller and then i console myself , you know, who else can we resort to in diffuclt time other than this embodiment of love.
Sai loves us unconditionally , he is overwhelmed by our love for him and he opens his darbar for us . He is so happy doing all this for us, he even says he is indebted to the people who love and believe him.Why should this poor man pour his love on us,give us a dwaraka mai and obey our command like a servant.
My opinion is that he secretly hopes by satisfying all over materialistic desire we might, one day become dispassionate and follow the spritiual path.
There is no harm in having a materialistic desire, its not a shame, sai himself says wealth is a impornant factor in carrying on life and he even promises that his devotee shall never have a problem with food ,shelter and clothing.
But he also hopes one day we become dispassionate about all these and follow the spritual path.
SPRITUALLITY might sound a bit too complicated, its nothing but realising the inner peace, which is propagated by so many holy men and what happens then ,dont worry we dont become sanyasi and go to forest or something.. we start loving each other . Love alone can make us lead a happy life , erase all discrimination and make world a better place.
There is always a learning curve isn't it , which swami understands and supports us in the best possible way so that, we dont get destracted and follow our goal and spread love, thats when he says dont worry my dears march on and remember me because whatever I say happens.

Nobody is scared of death
Sai says : I shall draw my devotees from the jaws of death
Terrorism, violence , natural calamities, pandemic diseases,pollution, global warming , recession and the list goes on , is world a safer place to live??
Swami says he would save his devotees from jaws of death . Saving from death ?? sounds like an oxymoron to me .
When death is inevetibale, how can i be saved ? . How can he save me from the jaws of death when he himself fell in its jaws?.
what is this "death" that is haunting us...
scientificaly ,when the heart stops functioning,the person is considered dead.
speaking spritually death can be explained as a phenomenon when the soul leaves the body and goes into another cycle of birth and death.
The haunting fact is that there is no escape from death.
Being a staunch devotee myself, it's a shame for me to accept the fact that I'm scared of death. Swami propagates the idea of dispassion and slavation but how can i be dispassionate when i desire to live ?.
I do accept the fact that there is no escape from death and as swami's devotee I should not be bothered about the soul leaving my body .
Yet I secretly feel i'm still not ready to face death.It's just that i have certain duties to complete , some desires to satisfy, some people to take care of and facing death now ,would be so incomplete. So,I'm not prepared to see my loved ones leave me or vice versa.
Thinking about all this has made me weak,just then i realise what swami had wanted to convey.
Obviously there is no escape from the jaws of death, every living being has to meet their end and so did sai . swami cannot eradicate death,
but would protect us from its jaws till the right has come for us to face it and would give us the maturity to accept it when it occurs.
In this turbulent world ,when every moment the hope of having a safe future seems to fade away ain't this a timely assurance.
A devotee who has completely surrendered to sai would never choose death over life and now having recieved this devine guidance, everybody should be inspired to live life to their fullest.
