A. AMAZING! ALLURING ! - THE SAI MYSTERY Congratulations ! And Welcome !
Are you Keen to Investigate the Truth AND UNRAVEL THE MYSTERY ? 1.Curiosity, the wish to know, 2. The Spirit of Enquiry are valuable aids in The Quest for Knowledge. Successful Scientists, Inventors, great Discoverers have these qualities in ample measure: They seek to know. Unless we are curious to know, we cannot understand or discover anything. To learn the Truth, we have to examine and investigate. Listen / Observe / Reflect / Experiment / Infer / Put into Practise / Know the Truth.
To solve a mystery requires some courage and boldness ! If you would like to unravel the Sri Sathya Sai Mystery and expose the Truth, here are some tips:- Steady curiosity, hardwork and persistent effort are needed to solve mysteries. Dig deep. Dive deep to obtain the pearls and gems. A Sharp intellect, good memory, logical reasoning, ability to comprehend and visualise are necessary tools.
Add to these detachment, dedication and sacrifice so that one puts in persistent effort ! So then, if you feel you can really muster up all these essential qualities you may join the thrilling adventure, the mystery that beckons ! Join the Sri Sathya Sai Treasure Hunt, the Gold Rush. Harken to the call and follow the trail that leads to the Golden Treasure, the Great Wealth whose alluring Radiance, emanating from that far off remote spot in Andhra Pradesh, India, that small place called Puttaparthi, has kept the world mystified and puzzled.
The lucky ones may, perhaps, also get their fair share of the glorious Treasure that awaits at the end of the trail: the silver, gold and cash found, hidden, behind the closed doors ! So here’s a golden opportunity, why miss it ? As Jesus Christ said, “Knock and it shall be opened”- But, remember it is a journey for the adventurous in spirit, not for fearful and hesitant, nor for the
faint-hearted and, shall we add ? Not for doubting Thomases. So what are we waiting for ? Get ready, with your binoculors to explore the far off, and magnifying glass to examine the near ! Ready ? Then....come on... ! Why delay ? Let’s get started - On your marks, get set...Go..! Tighten your seat belts and zoom off ! A safe landing ! And here we are:- Sri Sathya Sai Airport. An airport in Parthy... hmm..m this is thrilling ! And what’s there down the road to the right ?
Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences. A Super Speciality Hospital. But let’s not divert our attention. Remember we are here to dig out the Truth. So Stay focussed on the target to solve the mystery of the Valuables...We’ll turn right and move on.... Where are the Valuables, the gold and the silver, the Crores we read of ? Hmm..mm, well let’s see ! Do you think the valuables, the gold and diamonds etc. will be lying unguarded for anyone to take away ? Surely not ! The Valuables must surely be in a safe place....difficult to access. Better be alert, shake off sleep and drowsiness and.....watch out for clues.
“Look, what’s there atop that hilly ridge ?” Why its Hanuman, with a hill on his palm. ‘Jai, Hanuman Gnyaan Guna Saagar... Victory to Hanuman, the ocean of Knowledge and Values !’ I think, he is assuring us of success, V for Victory ! Be bold and courageous, have Self-confidence ! He is beckoning us, search for the Knowledge of the alluring Gold, silver and diamonds – Die Mind. That’s it ! His message, and look out for the next clue... DON’T GIVE UP, HOLD ON....! There’s a song: “Say His
Name, See His Form HOLD ON......” What is this ? An arch with lotuses ? Is it the next clue ? The next sign, the entrance.....perhaps, to the portals of what we are seeking the Valuables......! WOW, we are ALMOST THERE, BETTER SPEED UP....! !
It says VIDYAGIRI. VID, in Sanskrit means knowledge, and YA to take towards. Fine, this Arch will surely take us towards the knowledge of the hidden treasure the ‘crores’ we heard of ! Crores...? Lakhs and Crores ? Wow, can we have a share of it ? Why not ? The Treasure that beckons ! What is it in, lakhs and crores ? There are lakhs and crores of human beings who may take it off before we make it ! Will they get away with it and we miss it ? Let’s think fast...and come on be quick...!
The treasure is buried deep in the heart of the crores of human beings. That is why it is called HUMAN VALUES, not simply Values, but Human Values. “You mean, something that human beings value, something that makes Human beings more valuable, richer ?” “Congratulations !
You’ve got it right. Human Values ! You know human values ?.....Not dog values, cat values, rat values, mouse values, scorpion or snake values. For they value something else. They can snap and bite, or sting and spew poison making you miserable. But, you know Human Values are different ! Human from Humane means kind, compassionate, good, showing sympathy, understanding. Same, as we say in the word mankind, kind people.” Well, if you can be kind.... and......if you are still keenly interested in the Treasure Hunt of Puttaparthy, and yearn to know the secret of the great WEALTH which was collected by One Person in a small remote village (Link), you can explore further. Otherwise you can give up...or continue another time, for we need to proceed henceforth, step by step, carefully. You can take your time. But, you have to have some patience and perseverance. No force. It is entirely Your Choice, whether to continue or to give up ? You have to be steady, not wavering and jumpy like a monkey. So then get ready.....BE STEADY TO STUDY and.... Remember: The mind takes the shape of whatever it flows onto....so you have to be selective....and TAKE CARE. WHERE YOUR MIND GOES, THAT YOU WILL BECOME. IF you can:- Be good, do good, see good ! For Good thoughts lead to good destiny - here is the next lead.... welcoming us and.....
Huge musical instruments, outside a building ! What is it ? Music College Complex ! My heart sings with joy ! There is calm rhythm in the air. Surely this itself is a sign of progress, a clue that we are drawing closer to the golden Treasure.
And, on the right...another building......Sri Sathya Sai International Centre for Sports - An Indoor Stadium, with world class facilities. Wow....not bad..... but....Right...!......Physical strength and stamina, robust health, healthy attitudes, honesty and integrity are really required to meet the challenges of life. Honestly speaking, it is sincere hard work that keeps one on the top ! That is why it is said: There is no short-cut to hardwork ! Healthy mind resides in a healthy body....Healthy mind leads to a healthy body.
Look, on the left, a very modest building, E-shaped....E for Eshwaramma. Eshwaramma High School (Link). Founded in a temporary Hall, on 20.7.1972.
All the beautiful buildings of Vidyagiri and the Prasanthi Nilayam Ashram that we see in Puttaparthy today, and many others, have been established by Sri Sathya Sai Baba. Amazing, isn’t it ? Surely he must have had some Extraordinary Powers. The brilliance of That Power, shed and spread its Divine Light from Puttaparthy to all over the world attracting countless seekers from all over the globe, to Puttaparthy. That Power, surely, is the REAL WEALTH. It is said: All that glitters is not gold. Which wealth is greater then ? The material gold that one heard and read about or the Power that generated or created the gold and all the Institutions etc that have been established by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba ? What is the Source of that Power. Can we know it ? Can we acquire or benefit atleast a little from that Power, that Vidya ? IS THERE ANY METHOD ? Certainly there is ! But we have to dive deep into the Knowledge and Method, illuminated by Bhagawan over a span of about 50 years and more, to attain something of That Knowledge and Power.
Just imagine...if all the crores of human beings look for it, find it, and manifest it in their lives, the World’s Poverty Problem Would......Vanish ! That is the valuable lakhs and crores beckoning the world !
Now, look to the right..... Sri Sathya Sai Space Theatre. It is a Planetarium with its dome, painted in many colours....Aa..h ! This seems to be a very good clue of Sri Sathya Sai Treasure Hunt.....[A hint from the poem: ‘Adonais’ by Percy Bysshe Shelly]: “Life, like a dome of many coloured glass stains the white radiance of Eternity...That light whose smile kindles the universe....now beams on me.. Is it not a wonderful clue ? The Pure Radiance gets covered over by various colours (thoughts and desires) that we acquire in life. These colours have to be removed, as they block or obstruct the Pure Radiant Light of the Gold within.
Experience of Mr. Rasagotra, Click here for a Revelation
But then, it is entirely one’s personal choice, one’s own priority, whether to remove the colours or keep them on. Anyway, how do we clean the many colours which we have painted knowingly, with so much interest, or unknowingly ? And anyway WHY should we do so ? And How ?
Simple: to bring out the best from within ! BUT YOU NEED FAITH IN THE GOODNESS which is within. ‘Shraddhaavan labhate Gnyaanam' - B.Geetha: IV-31. Those who have faith acquire Knowledge. All great Teachers have stressed on ‘faith’. ‘Faith can move mountains’- Jesus. ‘Faith in God and faith in yourself, this is the secret of success’ - Baba. Teachers explain, and show by life example, students who practise, gain. Lives of Saints are Live Examples of what heights human consciousness can rise to. [Pl. see HVSS Books 7, 8, 9-Saints]
Another Sai Mystery worth unravelling:- Why don’t all students understand and get equally good marks and grades ? Why all adults don’t work equally hard, why some have particular talents and skills? Why some are healthy and happy, while some have to undergo sorrow and suffering ? Why are there differences ? Another Crucial Question is......Why Parents, Policy Makers, Educationists, Principals and Teachers, the Guides and Teachers of future generations, don’t pass on this vital Knowledge to the next generations ? Why all are not interested in unravelling, understanding and experiencing the ‘Greatest Mystery’ - The Source of all that exists. This is in itself a great Mystery ! Are you still keen to find IT- the Treasure that belongs to all ? Do you wish to continue the search for the Golden Treasure ?
