Man
loves to possess inexhaustible wealth. He longs to enjoy endless
ever-new joy. It is easy to acquire, but man behaves without foresight
and in haste. Although, the ocean has plenty of pearls and corals,
man would prefer to get the easily available shells and conch-shells
scattered on the sands of the sea-shore. Devotees who gather around
Sai Baba used to feel relieved and happy after eating the sanctified
food offered by Baba and getting their worldly desires fulfilled,
feel relieved and happy. Baba would chuckle and say "My Treasure
of Spiritual Wisdom is full and over-flowing. None asks for it".
Devotees like Upasani Baba and Sai Sharanananda, never did they
expect temporary gains or pleasures from Baba. He gifted them with
priceless Divine Treasure of Wisdom and Ever-New Delight. We need
not lament that our spiritual guide Baba has entered the Samadhi.
Baba's leelas and the miracles He performed for the sick and suffering
have been preserved in Sri Sai Satcharitra, penned by Hemadpant.
One has to go through every line of it. The reading of Satcharitra,
with a devout heart, should be daily undertaken. Then, we are assured
of invaluable advice and divine directions from Baba. The lamp of
wisdom lit will dispel our ignorance and we experience Divine Delight.
