Chapter 35 of Sri Sai satcharita

Sairam

I am writing my personal views in this letter. Incase you yearn and aspire for the divine grace of Sri Sai Baba, you make a personal effort to learn about HIM instead of seeking HIM through middlemen. If you feel so, you may listen to words uttered by middlemen, but please do not address them as Sadgurus (Good Preceptors).

Now-a-days one comes across many devotees of Sri Sai claiming them to be Sadgurus, by prefixing that title before their names. They claim that they are the only ones who have truly surrendered to Sri Sai and are getting accepted as such in the society. These may be Acharyas (Professors) in Sai University, but there is only one Chancellor who is Sri Sai Baba himself. Similarly there may be great many ardent devotees of Sri Sai, but these devotees cannot be called as Sadgurus. Listen to anyone speaking about Sri Sai; understand the good values from such speeches and Seeing Sri Sai in them pay your respects by touching their feet. Your salutations will reach Sri Sainath. Episode of Kaka Mahajani's friend, narrated in this chapter, contains the following words of Sri Sai - You take that away. Remove the wall of dualism separating us. Then we can meet face to face and see eye to eye-. Sri Sai devotees going to middlemen for finding out about Sri Sai, even after coming to know these words of Sri Sai, is utterly ridiculous. Now you may ask me to explain my conduct on this issue. I do admit that during the period: 1989 - 90 I did go to middlemen and the so-called Sadgurus for finding out about Sri Sai. Sri Sainath himself corrected this aberration of mine. Once we realize our mistakes and make amends, we will not normally repeat the mistake.
