Spiritual energy
The faith in Shirdi Sai Baba escalates by
the day. Youngsters are being drawn into Sai baba temples and bhajan groups. He
is a Mahatma in Kalyug who is a spiritual energy like other elevated souls.
Then how come he has become so popular? People claim to have even seen him.
What comes to mind is that there are no
heavy rituals around him. No dress codes in his temples, no discrimination of
gender, caste, creed and religion. No old baggage of politicization of
spirituality.
He is a healer and a saint, a recent one.
The new generation understands him in the context of equality of human and
devotional rights.
When monopolistic sects try to retain their
hold over and attempt to force old, discriminatory belief systems, they don’t
realize that it is a matter of time before they will be forced to step aside to
allow for a new human order . The agitation for equality in every way can’t be
stopped nor its tide stemmed.
Sai baba has been projected as a saint who
helps people without any vested interest and in today’s commercial world, this
comes as a breath of fresh air. Youngsters want to believe in the path of love
and goodness. And they don’t understand the older religions which should have
give peace but are steeped in conflict and human destruction.
Sai Baba comes as an anchor and a faith
that humans desperately want to peg their spirituality on.

The Art of Living
The focal point of our life is the heart.
Cleansing the blood and sending it to all the body parts. The seat of love,
compassion, empathy, kindness and the seat of emotion, the bridge between our
existence on earth and the anchor to the Divine.
To keep the heart light, protected and safe
is the (he) Art of living.
As we take the gifts of kindness and love
and need to reciprocate, so do we have to return back to the people their gifts
of negativity that they give us. But we don't do that. We accept them and the
heart becomes hurt.
It is so simple that the choice of what to
ACCEPT is ours. If we don't accept the gifts of anger, hatred, resentment,
rudeness etc, where do they go ? Obvious, they will stay with the same person.
Well, please give it back. Your heart is not worth hurting for anything in the
world. Is it? Do we deliberately let a bee sting us? But we do let people sting
us where it hurts any reason to allow this?
