Shirdi Sai and Sathya Sai are One
and the Same
By Arjan D. Bharwani
24. 'PSY'- GOES THE SAI WAY
Dr. Samuel Sandweiss, the author of
the famous book "Sai Baba, the Holy Man and the Psychiatrist" has
described the unique experience as follows:
In February 1977, when he along with
two of his colleagues had come to visit Sri Sathya Sai at
Prasanthi Nilayam, they were granted an interview Bhagavan
received them with the warmth of an affectionate and gracious
smile and spoke to them, "Psychiatry doesn't know the way to
God-Realisation; it only studies the mind. But there is reality
beyond the mind, a reality that is boundless; beyond time;
infinite in dimension. The colour of that which cannot be measured
is blue - like the blue of the sky and the blue of the ocean. Blue
is cool and calming -- see the three doctors are all wearing blue.
The three doctors were indeed wearing blue shirts, observing which
they were overjoyed. Bhagavan continuing His discourse said, "Shirdi
Baba wore a ring at the time of His Maha-Samadhi. The colour of
the stone in the ring was blue, the colour of the infinite and
boundless - and in the stone was engraved the symbol of 'OM', the
inner reality which is fathomless". Saying this Baba circled His
Divine hand in the air and from the imperceptible and
inexhaustible store-house produced the ring before the three
psychiatrists and facing them said, "See "' For the three of them
this was really a moment of wonderment and miracle. The three
doctors not only began comprehending the Divine Reality as
revealed to them by Baba, but also were amazed at the Divinely
blissful and miraculous manner in which He had demonstrated it to
them. They also experienced Bhagavan's love which is indeed all
compassing and fathomless in reality. Thereafter, all the three
of them, in turn, took the ring in their hands and reverentially
touched the same to their foreheads. The experience of that
priceless moment kept their hearts filled to the brim with the
ecstasy of Divine Bliss for a long time.
