BHAGAWAN BABA OF SHIRDI

BABA'S APPROACH

Baba's approach to spiritual matters is of a novel type. Guru, according to him, must seek disciples, rather the disciples approaching him for initiation, guidance and sustenance. Even if his beneficiary lives far off, he should be drawn to him 'like a sparrow with a string tied to its leg'. The modus operandi is odd. Baba used to convey a cryptic message or advice to the prospective beneficiary in a dream both for tiding over the problem, harassing; and a line of action to be taken for the project to be launched. On crossing, naturally the beneficiaries seek the benefactor for better rapport and great cohesion. The deserving were benefited immensely with this sort approach. There lies his greatness and that accounts for its unprecedented popularity. He bestowed on the seekers not only health, wealth, power, position, prosperity and honour, but Brahma jnana too. Instances are many.
