FOREWORD

Can there ever be a foreword for the ‘Creator’? I’m amazed at the task allotted to me.. Does Sai need introduction! Verily HIS ways are beyond comprehension..

Modern Science dismisses matters of Spirit as beyond the realms of rationality and spirit of enquiry. A part of the grand ‘creation’ himself man, in his attempt to play the ‘creator’, has desperately & clumsily tried to establish his conquest over nature & it’s eternal laws, only to be rudely awakened to reality, more often now than before. Nature demands harmony: it doesn’t tolerate attempts at brutalisation of the spirit; it retaliates ruthlessly when the avarice in man aimlessly destroys it’s creation.

The Creator has His unique ways of bringing His flock back into the fold. He instilled the spirit of enquiry and scientific temper in man, differentiating him from the animal. This gift of the Creator is not for the men of science alone. In fact the seeker of the ‘Self’ astutely walks on the path of free enquiry. He delves into the realms of inner consciousness driven by the spirit of enquiry. Rationality is not the bastion of science alone.

Creation is witness to innumerable seekers both of science and religion, probing the most mysterious aspect of the entire creation-Man himself! Science has not been able to reach the frontiers of human consciousness. It is a toddler; it’s wonderment increasing with every discovery. . Probing mysteries of the mind requires all the scientific temper at one’s command. It also requires humility. The Creator does not reveal His secrets to men of arrogance. The seeker cajoles his creator to reveal the mysteries of His creation.

SaiBanisa is such a one. His passion for the Creator amazes me. He plods on, unmindful of criticism and praise. Rescued from the drudgeries of mundane existence, the inherent Sai-consciousness,,nurtured through many lives, has come to fruition in him now. My so called rational mind initially refused to accept the notion of ‘continuity of Consciousness’ through eternity. But Sainath has His own ways. How and when I was pulled like a sparrow to His durbar is a mystery to me. I asked Sai Banisa about his tryst with Sai. He pointed out to the story of Mrs.Khaparde in the 27th chapter of Sri Sai Satcharitha. Sai, the Guru-preceptor, the eternal Master would never allow us to get lost. He is eternally keeping a watch over us.

To, Sai Banisa, rationality is the essence of this eternal journey of man-"As you sow so you reap". Sai is beyond all ‘isms’. Sri Sai Satcharitha is a guide to rational living. Sai only expects us to be true to ourselves, to recognize the inherent spiritual nature of man. The catholicity of His teachings and it’s appealing simplicity, cuts across all religious barriers enveloping the entire cosmos. Verily Sai is Parabrahman –who comes running to a sincere clarion call..

Sai Banisa is indeed blessed to be in communion with Sai.He humbly submits that he is only a postman for the people, if they find useful.

That Sai has been communicating to him in his dreams should not surprise anyone. Prior to and also after His Mahasamadhi in 1918, this pristine jewel of Shirdi has been appearing in the dreams of His innumerable devotees and has been shaping their destinies.Sai Banisa, as an instrument of Sai, has penned His messages in an interesting and delightful manner, for the benefit of each one of us.The messages received by him from the Supreme Master originally recorded in Telugu, have been translated into English by Sai bhakta Sri Raghu Raman Satulury for wider reach. Emerging from the Lotus Feet of Sai this book being the essence of Sai philosophy, would , I ‘m sure, act as a beacon to rightful living, thought and action. I humbly pray that Sai Maharaj lights the lamp of spirituality in each one of us and guide us through eternity.
