Message from Yore
His Student
When I first joined
Sri Sathya Sai College, Brindavan in 1978 I was full of wonder
at the new spiritual experience that I was going through amidst
the sylvan surroundings and the Divine Presence. Being a new
devotee I felt like a sponge soaking up every tiny detail about
Sweet Sai’s Leelas and Mahimas. Every story about how Swami’s
Love and Grace that had intimately touched the lives of devotees
near and far fascinated me as it did all the other students
studying with me. We frequently heard these Sai experiences
during evening bhajans at the Hostel, the morning assembly at
the College or during the room meetings just before lights out.
During a particular Thursday morning assembly, our (late)
Principal Narendra read out a fascinating article that he
received from UK which made a deep impression on my mind. It was
a unique story of how our Dear Lord touches not just the lives
of human beings on earth but also those beings on other planes
of existence. I take this opportunity to share that article with
all who love Sweet Sai.
Mrs.
Betty Gisner of California is a healer and an automatic writing
medium of the highest integrity. Her husband is a professor of
Psychology, now devoting his time to regressed hypnosis healing
many sufferers. While staying at the Seeker’s Trust, Addington
Park, Trent, England, she went into one of the meditation
chapels there with a pad and pen hoping to come in contact with
her healing helpers, and was very surprised when she found what
she had written. She had not asked any question about Sri Sathya
Sai Baba, though she and her husband were planning to go to
India.
The communicator gives the name as AMKSORE and that he was a
server (monk) at Glastonbury long ago and was later with St
Francis of Assisi. He signed his communication with a capital
‘A’ interspersed with a cross. This is the communication.
“On the question of the divinity of Baba, we would comment. This
being of light is ineffaceable in his radiance which suffuses
and envelopes all those who are fortunate enough to come within
his radiance. He is truly a Divine Being. We would have you
realize that those who are on our planet of living are very far
from perfection of one such as this ‘Holy Man’ among men, the
Healer of those who desperately need His help. We are nothing
when compared with this Flame of Truth. We bow in adoration at
the feet of this Divine Being. We feel love, the all
encompassing love, which he inherently has at the core of His
very Being, the love that sustains, the love that comforts, the
love that encourages and envelopes those who travel from far
places to be in His Presence. We rarely wish to be incarnated in
flesh once again, but to experience the glory of His Presence we
would be willing to don once again the cloak of your human
condition. These opportunities are rare and precious and in the
space of your earthly incarnation you will never have the
opportunity to see a presence as this. When you see the physical
body of Baba, there will be aroused within you an ecstasy such
as that engulfed by Francisco but even more deeply will this
spiritual expansion be felt. This is somewhat an ordinary way of
trying to express our inexpressible reaction, for in the
presence of Baba, you are in the presence of God-made flesh, not
as mere men and women are Gods-in-making but a force of such
inestimable power and beauty that there are truly no words in
your language to describe this experience.”
As we see the ever-increasing numbers of devotees that now come
to Prasanthinilayam we cannot help noticing that what used to be
a ‘festival crowd’ in the 70’s and 80’s is now a ‘daily darshan
crowd’. When we are part of this multitude of devotees it is
such a humbling experience to realize that we are merely a speck
of sand on this beach. And we have yet not included the millions
of souls on other planes of existence that grace
Prasanthinilayam with their invisible presence. It is again
Sweet Sai’s grace that He let us all have a peek through this
article at His power and Glory which is beyond our human
comprehension.
