Sai ram
Today 26 th
june swami gave his usual darshan to devotees at SaiRamesh hall,Brindavan
- Whitefield, Bangalore.The hall was full of devotees as Swami had
announced that he will be giving darshan on Thursday.
He came at the
usual time of around 7AM in a battery operated cart.He sat on it
and took round along the lines giving his blessings and darshan.
After the rounds in his cart he walked a few steps with the help
of one of the students who had the divine blessings to hold his
hand.. He was full of his effulgent best and was full of
smiles.There was no trace of any pain.He was there for around 50
minutes. He did not give discourse.All the devotees were full of
happiness and joy on seeing getting darshan of swami.
Prof. Anil Kumar speaks about
bhagawans self cure in one of his Question Answer Session.
“Why doesn’t Bhagavan cure
Himself?”
Bhagavan said in one of His
discourses, ‘If you pray, I will cure Myself.’ Why don’t we pray
so that He can cure Himself?”
The question that
has been asked has a problem. When there is a disease, there is a
solution, a cure. But when there is no complaint, where is the
question of a cure?
Baba said, “I
never experience pain. I have not used any tablet, pill or
injection until this day. I do not suffer, but it appears like I
have been suffering.”
Am I clear? Is it
true? Why not? We appear to be happy though we are not happy. (Laughter)
This is because we are good actors. God is the Super Actor, so He
can act better than all of us! (Laughter) Jagannatha
Sutradhari, The Divine Actor. So we pretend to be happy,
though we are not happy. If we can do this at the human level,
then why can’t He act at the Divine level and pretend to be
suffering?
If this is the
case, then our question becomes, “Why should He pretend?” The
reason He pretends is because He takes on our suffering. Why
should He suffer for us? He does it in order to reduce the period
of our suffering because we cannot bear the intensity of it.
Therefore, Baba does not need to cure Himself because He does not
suffer.
Then why did He
say, “If you pray, I will cure Myself?” He said this so that at
the very least we will pray for this reason. (Laughter) At
least we should pray on these grounds because He wants us to pray
one way or another. If you don’t pray, you become ‘prey’. (Laughter)
Therefore, I don’t believe that He suffers because we see Him
with all these external, so-called complaints, and yet He can get
up and still speak.
There was one
moment when He could not speak at all. His voice was so low that I
could not hear it. It was like He was speaking from the bottom of
a well. I could not hear Him.
He said, “Anil
Kumar, My voice is like this. My voice is like this.”
What could I
reply? He was to speak in ten minutes. He called me into the
interview room and said, “I cannot speak.”
I thought to
myself, “What should I say?”
Then He asked,
“What shall I do?” (Laughter)
Well, I couldn’t
do anything about it! (Laughter)
Then He said,
“You speak.”
I said, “I want
to live for a while longer. (Laughter) I can’t speak
because people are expecting Your speech. If I go up there
and start speaking, well I don’t think I will survive until
tomorrow. People are anxious to see and hear You, not me. I can’t
do that, Swami.”
“Then what shall
I do?”
“You may do
anything You like. (Laughter) You can ask somebody else to
speak. Swami, I dare not speak for You because nobody can stand in
on Your behalf – unless that fellow was just released from a
mental hospital.” (Laughter)
It is impossible
for anyone to represent Him. Nobody can represent Him on His
behalf. No one can say, “He has given me all His powers.”
There are some
people who say, “Baba has given some powers to me.”
Oh ho, He is not
a distribution centre! (Laughter)
There are some
who say, “Baba speaks through me.”
Why should He
speak through others – as if He cannot speak for Himself? (Laughter)
These are all utterly ignorant, idiotic, stupid claims, and we
should never fall prey to them. Do not allow yourself to be preyed
upon by these people. No one ever represents Him. No one will
receive special powers, or a special delegation to start a branch
office. He does not need any medium to speak through because He is
in you, with you, above you, below you and around you. He and you
are One! Where is the question of a third person?
When Baba says,
“I and you are One,” if you say, “I want somebody else to tell me
this”, well all right, hang yourself. Nobody can help you. When
He’s there in you, why do you want a separate medium? We’re
not able to find Him in us; therefore we are confused.
