About Shri C. B. Satpathy - Inspiration.jpg)
Anybody who meditates on the above assurances, would surely realize the presence of BABA with regular experiences.
He is an ardent devotee of Baba, who calls himself a servant of Baba and worships no other God than Baba. Shri Sai is His only and ultimate reality ever since He drew him. His only aim to serve Baba by serving His children. By now a million devotees of Baba came in contact with him and are being guided. Says Guruji, “Serving Baba and being in love with him is the ultimate reality. I, therefore do not seek things like ‘Samadhi’ , emancipation, to be yogi, have miracle powers etc. When the most extraordinary God descends on earth as an ordinary person, how can the ordinary persons try to be extraordinary?”
Hundreds of disciples of Baba approach him every day. To all of them he tries to help both in their material, psychological and spiritual development evoking the name of Baba. He also spreads messages of Baba through the scores temples of Baba he has been instrumental in building, five magazines published under his patronage and other means of audio-video communication. He takes care of the lepers personally in Delhi whom he has motivated in Sai devotion. Shri Satpathy discharging his duties as a family man has set an example in front of people that one can live in this materialistic world of money, relations and linked duties and still be pious and a detached saint at heart.
Today, the world is already pulsating with vibrant Sai Movement led by Guruji , and by the grace of Sri Sai, millions of men and women across the world belonging to different religious faiths are seeking solace at the Lotus feet of Sri Shirdi Sai to live in love, tolerance and universal brotherhood. Guruji Satpathyji is the specially chosen spiritual apostle of Sai Maharaj to transform the strive torn world into the Universal Sai Family where men and women of different countries and communities, irrespective of race, religion, cult and diverse cultures will live together, bound by cosmic Sai love, in Sai Consciousness as children of Sai Baba, the Cosmic Mother (Aayi, mother) and Divine Father (Baba, father) of all Earth - Children. Guruji simply asks the people who come to him to think of Shri Sai in all earnestness and He will take you through. No wonder, Guruji always guides devotees to look towards Shri Sai Baba as their Father, Brother and loved one, then only we would be able to realise Sai and know Sai as God, with natural ease.
Shri Satpathyji basically comes from a family of educationalists and administrators with a high level of cultural and religious activism. His native land is Baripada -- a small but beautiful town of North-Odisha -- district head-quarter of Mayurbhanj. For some years he taught in Delhi University and later joined an All India Service where he excelled and was awarded three recognitions by the President of India for Gallantry, Meritorious service and Distinguished service. He superannuated from Government Service and is presently working on an assignment with the Government of India. “Service, any where or to anyone has to be done with a sense of devotion and perfection. Since God is everywhere, we need not differentiate,” He says.
Guruji insists he should not be equated with Sri Sai Baba and that he is only a servant of Shri Sai. Exuding intense purity, divinity, and fervent love for Sainath, unceasingly rendering selfless service, His serene meditative calm persona ecstatically engrossed in Sai`s cosmic love and grace reminds us of Sai Presence. Guruji is selfless love and boundless compassion Incarnate, and is a friend, philosopher, father, mother, brother, spiritual guide to many a wayfarer on life's pathway. He is Sai love Incarnate to millions of Sai devotees.
Guruji teaches by his own conduct to mentally dwell in Sai Consciousness while discharging mundane duties of the physical existence. He devotes a major portion of his daily life in serving Sai—be it in worship of Sai, meditating on Sai, sharing the ambrosia of Sai Love with sorrow - stricken souls, listening to and attending to the problems of people, infusing Sai Healing Energy into the infirm and the sick bodies, affectionately and compassionately receiving people stricken with anguish and motivating them to integrate in the world, light-hearted and laughing, spiritually charged, enthused with Sai love and Sai peace, blessing all with Sai grace; incessantly and fervently chanting the name of Sai, singing Bhajans in praise of Sai glory.
Guruji gently tells his devotees not to leave their homes and offices and visit him frequently undergoing every inconvenience. He assures them that soulfully saluting the Sai in what ever form once will suffice and that they need not salute him again and again. He wants his devotees to feel the presence in the inner-self in his physical absence. He does not want us to evade our responsibilities and escape from life. To Guruji, serving Sai is as important as discharging our duties as a husband, wife, son, daughter, brother, sister, friend and committed citizen of the country.
Guruji is the embodiment of cosmic love that Sadguru Sri Sai Baba is. When people ask Guruji as to who brought such a tremendous transformation in his life, Guruji, without any hesitation would immediately say that it is Shri Sai Baba & that he has no other Guru except Sri Shirdi Sai Baba to whom he has dedicated his life. He has no other God except Shri Shirdi Sai and all that he has is surrendered at the sacred feet of Sai and Shri Satpathyji has come to have in him all that Sri Sai Baba has.
The Master teaches a lot by a mere look than verbal doctrines. His eyes emit power of love which binds all. He has come to lay a path of love and establish Religion of Love, which knows no boundaries. He preaches that a single drop of tear from the eyes of a pious person can move – be it Shri Sai or Christ, in a fraction of a second. He says ‘Purity and Love' is the essence of Sai Movement |
