Introduction to Baba-2/2

Allah Makil

Allah Makil (God is King) were the words Baba always had on his lips, yet he never declared Himself to be a Muslim. He accepted Hindu prayers and rituals but never declared himself to be a Hindu. No one ever knew which religion Baba belonged to –not by what he said, how he behaved and what He did. If you consider Him a Muslim, He had ever burning Dhuni (Sared fire as in Hindu Tradition) in Mosque, if you consider him a Hindu; He live in a mosque uttering Allah Malik. He encouraged both the religions. Ram Navami( Hindu festival  celebrating the birth of Lord Ram) and Urus (a Muslim festival) were both festival celebrated by Baba on the same day on large scale and by His grace these celebrations continues successfully even today. Baba always encouraged people to follow their own religion. He believed that there is only ONE God. He was beyond religion.
At times Baba was humorous and sometimes He would become enraged. Later it was understood that the yelling and shouting has reason behind it. Even when He was angry or joyful, He never stopped taking the Lords name. He did not like it if people criticized a devotee’s way of rendering service to Baba.



Baba’s relationship with His devotees is greater than the relationship of a mother and a child. A mother understands the baby is hungry only when he or she cries, but Baba understood His devotees even without them uttering a word.
What are the main things we can learn from Baba?

Religious tolerance

Baba had devotees from different religions and He never tried to convert anyone. Instead, He encourage them to follow their religion and not with others. By not declaring His religion and by accepting from all religions, Baba proved that Bhagwan (God as known in Hindu religion) and Allah (God as known in Muslim religion) is one. I.e. SABKA MALIK EK (One God governs all)

Simplicity

You can say by his clothing, dwelling and diet what kind of a lifestyle Baba had. Although He had many rich devotees, who were ready to build places, He never left Dwarakamani and Chavadi, nor did He enjoy the luxury of the material gift. The message given by leading such a life is that although you are capable of living extravagant and luxurious life, you should stick to simple and modest way of living in order to progress spiritually.

Charity

Once a person surrenders to Baba completely, He is there for him always. He will be with him life after life until he reaches salvation. Baba said ‘Be wherever you like, do whatever you choose, remember this well that all what you do is known to me. Nothing will harm him, who turns his attention to me, nut Maya will lash or whip who forget me’. Not only spiritually, but His protection for his devotees is unbiased materialistically also.

Abandoning all the cleaver and cunning ways, chant always ‘Sai, Sai’. By doing this you will be able to across the worldly ocean. Have no doubts. These are the profound words of Sai. Do not think that they are worthless. Do not try to evaluate them.
