The unseen root of Karma

A person is undergoing unbearable suffering. I pray tearfully to Swami for a solution to his problem. Swami says, “He must experience his Karma.” I continue to pray for him. Yesterday, the family telephoned me, all were crying. In meditation, I asked Swami about it.

17 December 2008 Meditation
Vasantha : Swami they are suffering greatly... You do something.
Swami : It is his Karma. Without this experience, how will he learn?
Vasantha : Swami, can’t You do anything for him?
Swami : I can lessen his Karma by half, but in the next birth he will have to experience the balance. The great devotee Ramdas, suffered in jail for 12 years. He used government taxes to build a temple for Lord Rama. He built a temple for God, but he had to suffer past Karmas. No one can escape the effects of Karma.
Vasantha : Swami, I asked for Universal Liberation. I thought that You are bestowing it, closing the Karmic accounts of all. Now Swami, You are telling about Karmic balance, what is this?
Swami : For the dawn of Sathya Yuga, we took the world’s Karmas and are suffering to change all.
Vasantha : Swami, even the wicked alcoholics are attaining Mukthi, how?
Swami : Now all will be liberated. They will enjoy the bliss of liberation for the 1000 year of Sathya Yuga. At the end of this, they will have to pick up their Karmic sack and live in Kali once more. Karma is postponed, deferred.

Today after abhishekam, I placed flowers on the padukas. At that time, a white petal flew directly on to the small Sai Krishna idol on the altar and covered His face. After arathi, we all looked. In the morning, Swami had told how He did not want to be here and that my Prema alone is keeping Him in the world. The flower over Krishna’s face was a sign showing that Swami cannot bear to see the people of Kali Yuga.

Meditation

Vasantha : Swami, please tell something more about the Avatar not descending in Kali Yuga.
Swami : Your life is an example to show that the Avatars cannot live in the Kali Yuga. You said, ‘I cannot mingle with any’. Your habits are different, your nature is different. It is for this reason you suffer.

End of Meditation

My life is like this. From birth, I was very afraid to talk and mingle with others. The nature of worldly people is different from mine. I could not adjust to the world. I could not live with them. They lived lives of untruth. They did not keep their word. I cried and said, “Why are people like this? My nature is different.”’ I grew up away from the outside world. So when I was confronted by the world, I became afraid.
In my childhood, I always listened to stories from the Ramayana, Bhaktha Vijayam and the great devotees of the Lord. I thought that worldly people lived according to the principles laid down by them. When I discovered this was not the case, I could not understand it.
Then Swami revealed that I am born in the world for the first time. This is the reason why I could not understand the world and its people. Since I have lived only with God and I am newly born in the world, it is impossible for me to live here.
I then thought Swami’s devotees would be like Him; but they are also like ordinary people. Realizing this, I was even more afraid and cried. I took a vow to change this unsuitable world. I performed sadhana to make the Earth a suitable place for God to live. Crying many tears, I asked the boon of New Creation.
Because I could not live in the world, I have lived with God in an imaginary world from childhood. Now, during meditation I am truly living with God. In Mukthi Nilayam, we live with God alone, away from the Kali Yuga world. Swami explains His state through my state. He is showing through my life that the Avatar does not descend in Kali.

Conscience is the inner voice that corrects us when we go wrong. It is the voice of truth and honesty.

Now let us see about an incubator.

When a child is born prematurely, it is placed in an incubator for its sustenance. As the child has been born prematurely, outside conditions are not suitable for it. It is susceptible to disease. The incubator is like an artificial womb protecting the child.

The Sathya Yuga is not due for a very long time. Many thousands of years remain for the age to come. This being the case, if Sathya Yuga should dawn now, how difficult is the task. The evilness in Kali would attack the ‘premature’ Sathya Yuga. This should not happen and would not happen if the ages followed their natural cycle. Now, Sathya Yuga is coming prematurely, before it should. Through my Prema and feelings, I create the correct conditions to protect it. The Stupi acts as an incubator, protecting and spreading my feelings everywhere. It creates womb like conditions that nurture and protect the emerging Sathya Yuga from the evils of Kali. The Sathya Yuga will remain in the ‘Stupi incubator’ until the right time comes. This is Vishwagarbha.

continued...

Divinity is our true nature. Realizing this truth and not being deluded by anything else is the beauty of wisdom

Now let us see what Kaushika means by ‘unique Prema’. 

The human body is full of sweat, saliva, urine and phlegm. Is there anyone who does not have these? They are also in the Avatar’s body! Why am I the only one crying that I do not want these in my body? Because, I want to offer my body to God. Has anyone in this world offered their body to God? This mad Prema cries for this.

Sage Kaushika describes this Prema as ‘very unique’. This Prema is not of man. It does not belong in spiritual realms. It is not of the Avatars. This Prema is unique and beyond description. It is one of a kind. This is why Swami told, “Your Prema alone is keeping Me in this world, else I cannot be here.”

Avatars do not descend in the Kali Yuga. They cannot live in the Kali circumstances. They cannot live with Kali Yuga people. The Avatar only descends at the end of Kali to destroy all. After this, a new cycle of Ages begins. But now Swami has descended at the beginning of Kali. If Kali is so bad now, imagine how it will be in a thousand years?

Oh, Swami I am very afraid even to think of it!

Now Swami has descended in Kali and through His compassion is ushering in the Sathya Yuga. Prema is transforming all. My Prema and my desire for Universal Liberation keep Swami here on Earth.

Swami has been showing this path and guiding mankind for the last 80 years. Is anyone practicing and following what He has preached? This world and its people are not suitable for the Avatars.

Special Grace means special Prema. From the beginning of Creation, many have shown Prema. This is not worldly love. Worldly love is expressed through many different relationships. Between a man and woman, it is called infatuation. Between husband and wife it is called passion. The love between parents and children is called affection. The love between friends is fraternity. All these are examples of worldly love. When this love is directed towards God, it can be expressed in six bhavas of devotion.

Vatsalya Bhakthi – Affectionate devotion
Sakya Bhakthi – Companionship with God
Anuraga Bhakthi –Passionate devotion for God
Dasa Bhakthi – Devotion through service
Madhura Bhakthi – Sweet love for God
Shantha Bhakthi – Equanimity in devotion

My Prema is unlike any other. It is not an ordinary worldly love and is not of the six kinds of devotion.
Ten years ago my nadi was read. In it, my Prema was called a, ‘very unique Prema’. It is not the Prema of the previous Avatars. It is not the love of Sita for Rama. This is not Rukmini’s love for Krishna. It is not Radha’s love for Krishna. It is different and unique. What name can be given to the Prema I have for this Avatar? What category does it fall under? It is a mad Prema.

I want the Prema that cannot be contained within this one body to spread to all. Let the whole world become Vasantha and shower Prema on Swami. The only measure of this Prema is New Creation. Such a Prema has never been revealed at anytime in any age to any other Avatar.

It is a Prema that sheds tears, melting in thoughts from morning till night.
It is a Prema that does not want anything, even the God state.
It is a Prema that it is not contained in higher wisdom and the Brahma Sutra.

The Kaushika Nadi was read on 12 March 2004. It tells, “It is a very unique Prema bhakthi for Bhagavan Baba.” It is a Prema bhakthi that is eternal, and changeless.

It is a Prema that makes me forget the wisdom that I write and occupies my heart and mind fully.
It is a Prema that pushes away the God state, wanting a single darshan of Swami.

It is a Prema, which makes me think, ‘If I were a maid or puppy in the house of His close devotees, I could have darshan’.

Incubator

8  December 2008 Meditation

   Vasantha :  Swami, I wrote about ‘Special Grace’.

   Swami      :  What does Special Grace mean? It is special Prema. Your Prema alone is keeping Me in this world, else I could not be here. Has any Avatar descended in the Kali Yuga? In Kali, Avatars do not come. It is a very difficult time. They cannot live with people on Earth under these circumstances. So, Avatars do not descend in Kali.

   Vasantha : Swami, how then does the Kalki Avatar come?

   Swami      : The Avatar descends at the end of the Yuga to destroy all. After this, the Krita Yuga comes. Now we have come at the beginning of Kali. Is changing Kali an easy task? You are doing all with your Prema.

   Vasantha : Swami, many times we have seen the form of a horse in the yagna pictures…You have said that it is the ‘Prema Horse’.

   Swami      :  Now the horse indicates the descent of Kalki Avatar at the end of the yuga. On Vaikunta Ekadasi perform a special yagna and pray for world peace.

                           …. A premature child is placed inside an incubator. It remains within until it can support itself. The baby is kept in the same conditions as the womb, at the same temp- erature. Sathya Yuga should be born before it is ‘due’ to change the Kali. For this, you are creating the right circumstances and feelings. This is like an incubator that protects the Sathya Yuga from the affects of Kali Age. The Stupi is the incubator. Through the Stupi, you are creating the right conditions. Only then will the Sathya Yuga come.

                End of Meditation

As Trivakra knew who Sri Krishna was, Special Grace poured on her. The blind boy in Trichy did not know who Swami was, yet he too received Swami’s Special Grace. This Special Grace is impartial; it does not see differences. It is for this reason the nadi for the Stupi said that even wicked alcoholics will be liberated.
God showers His mercy on man in three ways,

• Compassion 
• Grace 
• Special Grace 

Special Grace is the highest state. These three are the states of the Avatar. First through compassion, God descends as Avatar. During His advent, He showers grace on some. The third state is that of Special Grace. When this Special Grace flows, it does not consider deservedness, it just pours.
In the year 1997, we released my first book ‘Liberation Here Itself Right Now’ in Puttaparthi. It was on this day Swami rode in the golden chariot for the first time and it was announced that according to the sacred nadis, ‘whomsoever saw Swami in the chariot would attain liberation’.
It was on this auspicious day that Swami touched my book; He removed the ribbon and released the book with His divine hands.
Swami asked me to offer Time in the Yagna on the same day He rode in the golden chariot. Both these acts of Special Grace are for the benefit of the world, for Universal Liberation.

continued...

The feelings that arise in one from the time of birth till death become deep impressions in the mind.

When people first began to ask me to pray for them, my attention was turned to the Karmas of the world. I knew the world was full of disease, problems and Karma. I cried to Swami, “You take the power of my penance and give liberation to all.” This prayer is fulfilled as Universal Liberation. I am not doing anything. Swami has brought His Spandha Shakthi and performs the task through her. This name and form is only His instrument. Swami’s Special Grace is functioning with Vasantha’s name and form.
In the morning when I was writing this article, a message was sent to us over the internet. It was Swami’s message, ‘Come with me, separation is no longer the order of the day. I separated Myself from Myself so that I could love Myself more. The experience is finished. I want all of Myself to return unto Me, the One Self’.
This is the Sathya Yuga. Swami is saying that now all experience has finished. What does it mean? It means Karmic experience has ended. Due to Karma, all are born to experience. Now, if there are no more Karmas, there is no more experience. It is for this reason that Swami asked me to place the symbol of ‘Time’ in the yagna for Poornahuthi on November 17. At this time, we noticed that the past and present on the clock were fully burnt, the future remained untouched. The meaning of this is that in Sathya Yuga, none will have Karmic birth. All will live a life of divinity. They will realize that they are not different from God. This is Sathya Yuga. This is the New Creation.
Swami said in His message that all should return to Him and merge back into Him Self. I am telling the same. All should merge in God like me. How I merge with Swami, all will merge with Him. I have said this in all my books. As I was writing this, the same words came to us in the form of Swami’s message! This is the proof that we two are One.

continued...

Before birth, feelings pervade the space without form. They search for the right vessel, time, place and parents.

Many years ago, I gave Savithri shakthi to a woman whose husband’s life was in danger. Swami extended his life by 20 years. In this way, I was able to remove the Karmas of some and extend their life. Through my prayers, many fatal diseases have been cured. I performed Karma Samhara for many people. I have written and recorded these incidences in many books. These are all proof that my tears and power of penance is removing Karmas.
An incident that happened in 1999 shows how a persons Karma was wiped away. Savithri is a devotee from South Africa. She was a very active member of Sai Samithi and a chairperson of nine Sai Centres. On the 13 October 1997, she was diagnosed with cancer. On 8 October 1999, Sumitra, a devotee known to me from Tanzania, phoned me and asked me to pray for her. In meditation Swami told me, ‘Cancer cancelled’. As I could not call her back, I asked Swami to send her the message! Then another devotee called from Africa and told that she would relay Swami’s message to them. In November, Savithri went to Puttaparthi to attend Swami’s birthday celebration. At that time, she had a check up at the Super Speciality hospital and given a clean bill of health. On December 3, Swami called her for an interview and advised to continue taking some medicines. She then asked Swami if she could visit me. Swami gave His permission and said, “Visit Vadakkampatti aunty.” All this shows how the power of my penance removed someone’s Karma.

continued...

A Yogi who has obtained enlightenment has the same use for the Vedas as one has for a small pond in a place flooded with water!

Earlier Swami told that I am His, ‘Daya devi’, goddess of compassion. Daya means compassion. Now Swami is giving new explanations for Spandha, revealing it little by little. First, He said Chitshakthi, then Daya devi, now Special Grace. He brought my form as the embodiment of His Spandha Shakthi, which is within Him. As I was unaware of this truth, I have cried continuously to unite with Him.
Due to this separation and infinite Prema, I want to make all like me. Through the power of my penance, I balance all Karmas.
I have asked for Universal Liberation. All will attain it through this Special Grace and compassion. Even though God descends as Avatar, He does not interfere with the Karmic law. It is for this reason that He separated Himself into two and made me take birth as the form of His Special Grace. Through my penance, liberation will be bestowed to all. The Creation, which emerged from Him, will become like Him and then merge back into Him. It is for this reason alone He has made this master plan.
