Introduction
In recent centuries, Sri Sai Baba stands out as the Initiate that demonstrated deathlessness. The scriptures speak of the immortality of the soul and many spiritual Teachers say so. But in this century there are three Initiates that demonstrated 'Life beyond death'. Sri Lahiri Mahasaya, Master CVV of Kumbhakonam and Shirdi Sai Baba vividly demonstrated that through Yoga Science one can realise himself to be immortal. These great Initiates not only taught the illusion of death but also demonstrated it in their lives. Demonstration is always considered as superior way of teaching.
The presence of Baba is felt by many today, as lie responds to every sincere call of whatever nature. For the common and the simple he is God incarnate, for he is the source to fall back upon for every human urgency. The miracles of Baba are many. But his teachings are as many. They are ancient and profound. Baba laid out through his teachings a definite path to self-realisation, which is the ultimate goal of the humans.
Sri Parvathi Kumar is one Initiate that unhesitatingly serves the ONE MASTER, the ONE TEACHER or the ONE GURU, in many forms and through his pen, the teachings of the Teacher in form of Sai Baba are brought to those who look for direction.
Sri Parvathi Kumar is known in India, in Europe, in Latin America and in North America for his synthetic approach to wisdom teaching and practice. His contribution to the groups of Truth seekers is significant, though he claims nil. He does not even claim authorship to the wisdom, for he believes that wisdom is impersonal and eternal and cannot be possessed by any, while it can be experienced by many.
Dhanishta publications deems it a bounden duty to publish these teachings and humbly offer to the inclined readers.
The Publisher
My dear Reader, Read a Saying a day at random. Do not read through.
1. The Ocean & The Wave
Do what you need to do. Do not fear. Keep the mind stable. Have confidence in Me. Keep seeing Me, listening to Me. And observe Me in all that you listen and see. My presence in all that surrounds enables you to transcend the illusion. It also weakens your attachments. The tide of Yoga leads you to Me, the oceanic consciousness. You are the wave, I AM the ocean. As you emerge from Me, you shall be an embodiment of love, light and power.
2. Utterance
Whosoever utters Me in love is fulfilled. He grows proximate to Me through such utterances in love. He is lovable to Me who utters in love. Hence he is protected from all directions.
3. Rarity
As much as you are delighted in Me, so much I AM delighted in you. You say that the right Teacher is rare, but we the Teachers, say that the right disciple is rare.
4. The Song
Life is the song of breath - Sama Veda. The one who is involved and immersed in the song, is eternally blissful'.
5. Encountering Situation
Submit to Me all events that encounter you in life. See Me as the aggregate of the encountering situation. Think of Me as the situation. Recollect Me in the situation. You shall be liberated from the limitation of the situation. This is My promise.
