In one of the most Inspiring Speeches which i was fortunate
enough to listen with tears in my eyes, Shri.Sanjay Sahani said the following
in Kulwanth hall on May 4th 2011 on Aradhana Mahotsavam Day :
" The question arises, What next? What should we do next?.
One of our research scholars in his meditation was praying to Swami with this
very question: "What next?" Swami said, “The next stage is Saaroopyam.” We had
Saalokyam – we were in the same Kingdom of the Lord; we had Saameepyam – we
enjoyed His proximity. The next stage is Saaroopyam. So what is Saaroopyam? To
become like the Lord. From the stage of being like a watchman at the Lord’s
gate, you become a prince. You look alike to the Lord, the King Himself.
This is what we should strive for. What all of us should aim
for, what our Dear Divine Lord wanted us to aim for. It is no good responding
to things happening in Yajur Mandiram the other day. Swami always said that "
My Devotees are my single possession", if we all believe in this great truth
that Swami said then why should we comment at all on things found in Yajur
Mandiram and elsewhere in Prasanthi Nilayam. Are these Bhagawan's Possessions?.
One must ask ourselves that how many times did Bhagawan respond to people
telling and spreading wrong about Him?. What we need is to continue to do His
work and spread His Divine Message.
On May 6th, Shri.Narasimha Murthy gave another memorable
speech on Bhagawan and His Divine Mission which also i heard with rapt
attention and with tears in my eyes, He said the following among many things :
There were many such touching scenes outside Kulwanth Hall
and Maha Samadhi Darshan. There was a young mother catching the hand of her
toddler son, taking him to the photograph of Bhagawan Baba which were put up
everywhere, making him touch the feet of the Lord and saying, "Bangaru! Ithadu
Bhagavanthudu." (My Golden one! this is God.) Another mother carrying another
young child was showing a photograph, which was put up at a height and telling
him, "Nanna, Itadu Devudu." (My dear son, He is God.) This was the real empire
of our Lord, Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.
Let us continue Swami's Divine Work, Let us spread His Divine
Message. He is and will always be among all of us. Let us not waste our time on
things that will come as an impediment in our working towards Swami's Divine
Mission.
OUR LIFE IS HIS MESSAGE
