Remembering SAI


Some people chant SAI's name in every minute of their conscious state. This kind of mechanical repetition does not mean true chanting of SAI's name. Likewise, there are several devotees who worship God by observing strict religious rites. It alone does not refer to remembering SAI. Everything in this world has name, form and quality. Likewise, SAI too would have them. The Deity we are worshipping has a name "Sai Baba". He had a well-built body, with golden complexion, blue eyes, bright smile and his head covered with a cloth and wore Kafni-a long gown. This completes the image of Sai. Usually, people who chant SAI's name and worship Him would keep in memory both name and form. However there is a "quality" beyond these two. That quality adds to Baba an Omnipotent, Omnipresent and All-Loving nature. As Baba's Image vibrates in the eye of our minds, it gets charged by His Supreme Spirit-Power. Is it a child's play to recollect name, form and qualities of the God altogether? Of course, they are easy to recall. Indeed, these three qualities are not distinctly separate. Their confluence is Baba.
When we say "Baba", the image of Sai seated on a stone, one that of seeking alms or the form of Dwarakamayi or whichever posture/photo of Baba we like most must strike our mind and with that remembrance, Sai Grace reaches and blesses us
