'Listening'
as a mode of devotion refers to attentively listening to the experiences
the devotees had by chanting the name of Sai and meditating on the
Majesty and Message of Sai Form and His philosophy. In order to
inflame the spark of devotion within us, by listening to songs of
Sai Glory, we must first prostrate to the feet of sages and saints,
seek their blessings and serve them. We must long to be in their
holy company, behave obediently, clarify our genuine doubts and
learn to practice the spiritual teachings taught by them. The treasure
of spiritual wisdom we inherit from the Perfect Masters must be
shared with others. Sai showers His grace on us if we listen to
His story with deep love and devotion. Experiences of millions of
Sai devotees bear an eloquent testimony to it.
Cholker cultivated love and devotion for Sai by listening to Sai
stories composed and sung by Dasganu, the great song composer. So,
throughout our life, we should be with Sai devotees and listen to
His glorious deeds of grace. In the nine modes of devotion, listening
has much importance. Therefore, time and again, we have to attentively
listen to the recital of His nectarine love-miracles and mind-cheering
messages of Sai and spread them among all and making everyone benefit
from listening. This is the easiest path of getting merged and be
one with Sai.
