The Significance Of Guru In Our Lives

I suffered from extreme hunger pangs for many years till now. The doctors would say that it was a psychological problem and I was not trying to make an effort to control the hunger.
But I was very sure that it was not the case as I know that I don’t unnecessarily eat if I am not hungry. Also if I don’t eat then it would turn into giddiness. My weight was gradually increasing year by year. I was diagnosed with Diabetes. It was difficult and frustrating! I really thought that there was absolutely no solution as medically they had no explanation.

I prayed sincerely to all the Gods to help me come out of this situation. Days, months and years passed. There was no solution and the problem existed all along. In December, last year I had a tummy upset for 3 weeks. I started losing weight and everything started to fall into place. The tummy upset was a blessing in disguise. I started losing weight and could control my hunger pangs better.

Guru Shri Sainath is the fifth incarnation of Shri Dattatreya and He led me to Him.
I read the Datta stotram regularly for a long time now, but had not visited the temple of Shri Datta.
Few months after starting Parayana, one of the MP devotees told me about this temple near my home. I was not aware that Shri Datta is one of the Deities.

There is one beautiful quote which says, “God opens millions of flowers without forcing the buds, it reminds us not to force anything for things to happen in the right time”.
So the right time had come. Baba Himself guided me to visit the temple through His devotee, read about life history of all the incarnations of Shri Datta. Their life story is very similar to each other. It was good to read and felt blessed! Guru Sai Baba surely showers His blessings on us in all walks of life and I am so happy to have joined MP.

The importance of a Guru is depicted in Ramayana, Mahabharata and other religious scriptures. To understand God and attain Spiritual Knowledge we must go to a Guru.
That’s why it is very important to study and really absorb your mind and intellect into the teachings of the Guru.

Thank you organisers for giving me and everyone the opportunity to read Baba’s stories and to be a part of His miracles even today. Let Guru Shri Sai Nath bless us all.

Today most of us have got so giddy in the materialistic world that we do not know what karmas we are building up and what is true happiness. Let us realise that nothing is permanent here and we are here for some short duration and thus try to seek truth which is none else than Sai. We need to cure ourselves of negativity, greed, anger, jealousy and soak ourselves in love and devotion to Sai’s feet. May our hunger for Baba’s bhakti ever increase. It will thus help to increase the weight of our spiritual knowledge and love for Baba. It will help us to control our senses in a better way. It would ultimately reduce the weight of our sins and help our soul to be peaceful with Baba’s grace. Love You Deva. Jai Jai Ho Sai.  😊
