IT'S ME…LORD SHIVA!!!
There were serpentine queues in every SHIVA temple on the eve of SHIVARATHRI. Seeing all this, PARVATHI asked LORD SHIVA, "Just look at those thousands of devotees thronging your temple to have your DARSHAN. Many of them stay awake during the night; keep fast, sing Bhajans and so on. You must be really please with their devotion."
The LORD always likes to test his devotees to check if the devotion is strong enough. Just like how we feel the nail and try to move it after it is hit on a wall to hang a picture frame!
The LORD said to his consort, "Poor devotees! They're braving the crowds unmindful of the pull and the push waiting to have my glimpse. They don't realize that I'm their 'indweller'! Anyway, let us go down & give them our darshan." PARVATHI agreed to this suggestion and both of them decide to go & give darshan in their original form itself! So they picked out a temple that had the maximum crowd and started moving along with the crowd smiling at them & blessing them.
The people started laughing at SHIVA & PARVATHI & said, "What a beautiful costume you people are wearing? From which drama troupe have you come? Are you both going to give a play here in this temple?" they asked.
SHIVA said, "It's me…LORD SHIVA! We're real. We thought we would come and give you live darshan so that you don't have to put up with hours & hours of waiting just to have my glimpse inside the temple."
The crowd roared in laughter & seemed to enjoy the show. "Fantastic piece of make up. Is that snake for real?' somebody asked. Another asked PARVATHI, "WOW! Look at those jewels. If they're real, they should be worth a few crores!!!" People continued to push their way through the queue to get inside the Sanctum Sanctorum.
PARVATHI said to the people, "We can perform whatever miracle you want us to do because we're really what we claim to be. What proof do you want?"
To that somebody said, "Turn this temple into GOLD. In fact anything that is metallic should turn into GOLD. Can you do that?" Everyone joined the chorus. Yes, yes. Turn this temple into GOLD. The people started mocking them & ridiculing them.
SHIVA just smiled & the next moment the entire temple complex was glittering with GOLD!!! "Is this real?" some people asked. People who had coins in their hands realized that even the coins had turned into GOLD. There happened to be a GOLDSMITH there who shouted excitedly, "Hey! This is all real. No doubt at all. IT IS ALL SOLID GOLD!!!"
Then pandemonium broke loose. People started running all over the place trying to take whatever was loose outside the temple compound.
PARVATHI asked SHIVA, "Instead of taking our blessings and considering it their fortune to have seen us and getting liberated from this cycle of birth & death, why are they all running here and there?"
SHIVA told her, "They're not only taking the GOLD that's there but also getting whatever metallic objects they can lay their hands on, like vessels, coins, tools & so on. Then they would ask us to turn them into GOLD as well!!! Having said that, SHIVA & PARVATHI just vanished and all the GOLD came back to its' earlier original metallic form leaving everyone shell shocked trying to figure out what had happened!!!

Understood the way you have tried to make me understand.
ReplyDeleteWhy should god prove that he is god?
No shape, No visibility, no place to be, god is not he or she, no size; then how can you sure that satya sai baba is shiva.
It is the designed cycle that is happening, why should mata parvati should feel "why devotee are greedy"
I am sure that the blog maker even dosen't know what is their inside the ant body or what is he thinking then how "Blog Maker" can think what god is thinking.
I don't want to listen lie, so u tell me truth. Why you have made this post. to become devotee of sai baba?
Whole of my family is devotee of satya sai baba and they have gone to puttaparty, but I've never been. neither I want.
I just want to feel the god, I don't want to get the god. feeling is what the super natural power gives us. .... I've lots of things but I can't write all.

ReplyDeleteNobody wants anyone to get devoted .. the author is explaining his feelings about sathyasaibaba. Everyone in this world are in the quest of spirituality(knowing their inner self which is god).. Some are in the beginning , some may be in the middle and some are in the final stage of identifying the ultimate source (god)....
My feeling:
To understand the source which is nirguna,nirakara(formless)... our soul should be tuned to understand... How do we understand with these senses which are dwelling with kama,krodha,lobha,madha,mathsarya....
To understand the ultimate soul (divya jyothi) and make it understandable to all human beings divya jyothi power has come in different forms as humanbeings in the form of different avatars with different powers but ultimately all are one and same that is source......
In the above what the blog maker want to say is : Why the human beings are not searching/asking/seeing for the real happiness but rather searching for materialistic things...
But onething i want to tell you it is not who tou think and decide to go/get ... It is the God when thinks about you you will go in search of him... whereever he is
Yes you are right you should feel the god... but you should also take one step towards god for god to take hundred steps towards you....
Well said AParna.. Each one realises the truth when their turn comes..
