It
is a great boon to human life to know Sai philosophy and His Divinity.
What we should do is to surrender to Baba and very lovingly plead
Him to reveal the duty we are destined to do. Be it good or bad,
victory or defeat, we have to accept them as great gifts of Sai.
In order to get blessed by the Divine Love of Sai and reach His
Feet, the path of self-surrender is the best one. Dikshit, a devotee
surrendered his soul to Baba and proved his unflinching loyalty
and devotion. It is absolute truth that those who completely surrender
their souls to Baba will get rid of bad qualities and sorrows and
attain liberation of soul.
When Baba commanded His devotees, Kaka Saheb Dikshit and Bade Baba
to butcher a goat for testing their devotion, Bade Baba, though
a Muslim, fearing sin, refused to oblige. But, the moment Kaka Saheb
Dikshit obliged and raised the knife, Baba exclaimed, "Stop,
being a Brahmin how will you butcher a goat"? Dikshit replied
that the nectarine words of Baba were commands for devotees and
that they were unaware of good or bad consequences. He replied very
obediently "following Your command is our noblest duty".
This instance is a fine example of abiding by Baba's words. For
those devotees who surrender to God, nothing like "mine"
remains. Baba shoulders the responsibility of a devotee whose mind
is merged in Him .
