The incident relates to the life of Brahmaleena Sant Sri devaraha Baba. Some people alleged that devaraha Baba was paying more attention to magistrates, collectors, engineers, principals, high officials and politicians. They wanted that all people should be given an equal opportunity so that everyone could speak to Devraha Baba. The Baba cleared their doubts:
“The elite are more prone to depravation. If such people stray from the path of righteousness, they will prove to be more harmful to the people and nation. On the other hand, if they lead a righteous life through the company of saints, they will become more beneficial for the society. They who are thought of as very rich by the people are actually very poor, as they are filled with desires. Jagadguru Adi Shankarachayrya has rightly said: ‘Poor are they, whose desires are many.’ Poor are not the ones that are small in terms of wealth, but they whose wants are many. It is they who have spiritual knowledge who are truly rich.”
Devaraha Baba further clarified the matter regarding this giving of preference to high officials: “These officials control a large group. It is the society that will be benefited if these people undergo a change in their nature through prolonged satsanga. If a common man is freed from worries in his life, it will lead only to his individual good,but if ministers, magistrates, barristers and high officials attain spiritual upliftment, it will lead to the universal good which is always better than individual good. If my precepts act as a medium for this, what is wrong in it?”
The above- said words of revered Devraha Baba are cent-percent true. If talented, high officials attain purification of heart, they become a beacon, a source of bringing good to the society at large. Even if they don’t bring good to the society at large, their vices are controlled anyway.
Practice Sadhana Under Guru’s guidance
I was alone and was going to be drowned in the holy Ganga. Somebody caught me by the neck from behind, took me out of the water and placed me on the bank when I didn’t know where to take rest or sleep, somebody called me and provided me place for rest and sleep. When I thought I had to sleep on an empty stomach, the Lord Himself gave me food and water and I slept well fed. The Lord takes on Himself to ensure procurement of His devotees’ wants and the preservation of theirinterests. I performed japa of Gayatri Mantra and did so by way also of Anushthana. I performed japa of Lord Krishana’s Mantra also. The meeting with deity does happen in the way it is described tin the scriptures. You behind your Beloved Deity with these physical eyes there is no cause for doubting it. Even today, the Lord appears before you in form; even today the Lord protects you. Cast away all doubts and make edneavours in manner prescribed by the Guru in order to meet your Beloved Deity it person.
