OM SRI SAI SUJNÄNA MÄRGA DARSHAKÄYA NAMAH - (75) Salutations to Sri Sai, who shows the path of attaining the right knowledge.
Swami says, "The knowledge that comes from the intellect is gained through the combination of the senses and the mind. But the enlightening knowledge from 'Atman' is absolute, real and grants liberation.''
Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is our Sadguru and leads us on the path to highest wisdom. He is a 'Loka Guru' (Guru of masses) and also a 'Vyakti Guru' (Guru for individuals). As a part of His avataric mission He has started a magazine called 'Sanathana Sarathi.' Through this magazine Bhagawan Baba guides the sadhaks. The devotees are able to gain insight into right knowledge through His divine discourses which are published in this magazine.
In addition to this, when Bhagawan Baba calls devotees for interviews, He gives them instruction through various examples and short stories. He also individually guides them, solves their problems and brings about transformation in their personalities.
There is a well-known story about a naked sadhu of Puttaparthi. This sadhu observed silence and being lame, went around in a palanquin, completely naked. At that time, around the year 1941, Swami was staying at Subamma and Karnam's house. When the palanquin was brought in front of their house, everyone was very curious to see Swami's reaction.
Bhagawan very calmly came out carrying a towel in His hand. He gave it to the sadhu and told him, ''Since you stay naked all the time, I assume that you have severed all your ties with society. Then why do you live in society? Why do you have disciples?
If you are greedy for fame, why do you give the impression to others that you are desireless?" On hearing this, the sadhu was ashamed. Swami continued, "One who is engaged in Namasmaran, God will never keep him hungry. Go to some place and stay in solitude. Wherever you are, I will provide you with food and shelter".
OM SRI SATHYA SAINATH ARPANAM ASTU
With pranams at the lotus feet of our dear Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai baba,
