SHRI SAI once said a story about a traveller who was accosted one morning by a demon (rakhshasa) and treated it as a bad omen but moving further on, he saw two wells the sweet water of which slaked his thrust . When he felt hungry he mate a person whose wife provided him food . Feeling happy, the traveller continued his journey and passing thru a dense forest a tiger approached him and being afraid, he hide himself in a cave when SHRI SAI came and instilled courage in him saying ," THE TIGER WOULD NOT HURT YOU UNLLESS YOU HURT HIM SOME WAY". The meaning of this story is : individual self or ego is the traveller, ignorance (AGYANA) is the demon . The food provided is the spiritual teaching. The two wells stand for viveka (right discrimination ) and vairagya (dispassion) The dense forest denotes
the mysterious depths of consciousness . The tiger stands for the dangers that confront a sadhaka whereas only a SADGURU can enlighten him.
JAI SAINATH...................!
Every devotee tries to visualize How Baba looked like. They try to see how Dwarakamai, Chavadi looked like when Baba walked on the soil of Shirdi. Are we able to visit Baba back in his times when we visit Shirdi now?
