Sai Aradhana Sadhana 2021 - (Day 6) - Why Am I? Who Am I?

 

Let this be our theme on this day! 

Along with the ‘who am I?’ question, the ‘why am I?’ quest is of equal importance. What is life all about? So, we take birth, enjoy care as an infant, go through childhood, school, college, employment, marriage, etc…is this all? Have we missed our soul call?  

If Sai is the reason we are here, then Sai definitely has a reason we are here. 

                                                        

Moreover, didn’t Beloved Bhagawan constantly refer to us as – Divya Atma Swarupulara…Embodiments of Divine Atma? Continuous enquiry is like knocking on a door knowing fully well that someone is inside and is bound to eventually open, granting access. Relentless pursuit of any quest is essential for it to manifest. 

This persistent enquiry is significant for it eventually links and realigns us to our true purpose. 

The horizon of eternity awaits our arrival!

Sai Aradhana Sadhana 2021- (Day 5)- Consistent Commitment

We can take a cue from Lord Surya as regards commitment! If it weren’t for His commitment 

would we have a sunrise each morning? 

Commitment to the process is of utmost significance. Rather than the destination, the process should be given complete attention along with an all-consuming absorption. Consistent commitment is required or else continuity is lost. 

The process contributes distinctly to the learning experiences. Till we learn our lessons we remain stagnant, without progress. Time waits for none, the years roll by swiftly and unknown to us, quite subtly, attachments grip us tightly. A grip that is mighty and strong and so very difficult to shake off…especially when age welcomes us into its arms and impacts our mind and body. 

Let us begin this day by looking deep into Bhagawan’s Lotus Eyes, and pledge an earnest commitment to Him - our self and Source…to grow in awareness of a higher purpose…an enlightened way of living…to committedly seek an awakening. 

Then know the glow within the heart space to be is His Response, the smiling flow of His Grace.

Be Divine, See And Serve Divinity To All!

Sai Aradhana Sadhana 2021 (DAY 4) - Focus and Prioritise 🙏🏻

 Divine Inspires 🙏🌹  JaiSaiRam

Today, let us determinedly focus on what should be our focus. 

Here is a Loving Invitation -

Step in…experience Oneness with the self within…shun outer attractions.

Today, our all-consuming emphasis should be - ‘Prioritise our Focus…Focus on our Purpose’. 

Can we earn a living without focussing on the job we have been employed to do? So too, can we ever gain spiritual upliftment without any emphasis on our truth? By falling prey to the temporary, the fleeting attractions, the destructive trap laid by the world of excessive material gains…simply to prove our worth, we are losing out on the spiritual wealth waiting to be discovered. 

Without focus we are like a little boat adrift upon the stormy sea, tossed about by furious waves that take us far, far away from the lighthouse that provides guidance. The waves are our desires. The Lighthouse is Swami’s Words. Through the sequences of eking out a living, let us not lose sight of the resolve for an awakening. On this day, let us commence a relentless pursuit of our own divinity, be aware of the divinity in all beings, the divinity in every bit in the Mineral, Plant, Animal and Human Spheres, and thereby consciously experience our Beloved Lord’s supreme theme of Oneness. 

Be Divine, See And Serve Divinity To All!

Sai Aradhana Sadhana 2021 (DAY 3)- Rewind, Reassign, Remind The Mind

The given moment is Now! This day, this very moment…is the first day…the first moment of the rest of our life. 

Must we not make a decisive decision and steer the mind towards a higher purpose behind all that is apparent. 

What do we owe our Higher Self? 

Today…Rewind, Reassign, Remind the Mind! 

A lot of time is spent in cleaning and beautifying temples as well as the altar reserved for prayers at home. Isn’t the body a temple of God? What about decorating and adorning the altar within…the altar in our mind and heart with elevating sentiments and enriching thoughts?

What do we owe this life that has received the colossal gift of having witnessed the Advent of the Lord of the Universe…of then being allowed to be a tiny part of His Story? What do we owe this life that has breathed in the same air as Him? That has heard the Avatar Vani…His Teachings, meant to draw us towards recognising our own divinity? That has been a witness to His Life…His Message? Then, what stops us from understanding the message in His Life and allowing our life to be His Message?

Sai Aradhana Sadhana 2021 (DAY 2)- DESIRE TO BE DESIRE LESS

Divine Inspires 🙏🌹  JaiSaiRam

It’s the intent and intensity that counts. We must want an elevated life and enlightened living. We must desire our spiritual upliftment. Leaving it till too late means living aimlessly…yielding to the grip of attachments, which as time passes is quite impossible to shake off. As Swami often stated - Start Early, Drive Slowly, Reach Safely. This relates more to our spiritual odyssey…the journey which helps us arrive at the threshold of the self…the effulgence which is our ultimate truth.  

Bhagawan’s delays are not His denials, however our delays are definitely denying us our supreme heritage. 

The sooner we choose the desire to be desire less, rising above the trivial and temporary allure of the created world, the closer we come to touching upon our true purpose. The root to be nourished gradually is - Ceiling on Desires. 

Let this be the lesson for today.

Sai Aradhana Sadhana 2021 (DAY 1) - SILENCE

It all begins in silence. Inner stillness more than the outer. 

If there is inner silence, we remain unaffected by the outer noise…the chatter of the monkey mind that continually succumbs to the charm of the physical universe. The outer attractions of the material world, steer us away from the awareness of the wealth within…the Voice of the Divine within…the Divine Prompt within. Silence helps us explore the vastness within. Silence helps us connect to the self within. Silence conserves energy, prioritises and redirects it towards the primal purpose. Silence leads us to the whisper of ‘Sohum’ and the hum of the Pranava – Aum…resounding in the inner core. Silence makes us more receptive to receiving cues from the universe, sharpens our intuitiveness. And, as a result of sustained practice and reciprocal grace, when silence profoundly deepens, we may be so blessed as to hear the mystical melody of Sai Krishna’s Flute! When we fall in love with silence…and desire more of it…silence eventually ushers in an awakening! Silence holds every answer within it. Today, shall we be immersed in and project the harmony of silence?

It is only in the depths of silence that the voice of God can be heard. – Baba

Hush…perchance the voice of God is prompting -

Arise, Awake, Be Divine, See And Serve Divinity To All!
