SAI BABA AS SADGURU
"The are Gurus and Gurus. There are many so-called Gurus, who go about from house to house with cymbals and veena in their hands, and make a show of their spirituality. They blow mantras into the ears of their disciples and extract money from them. They profess to teach piety and religion to their disciples, but are themselves impious and irreligious. Sai Baba never thought of making the least show of His worth (piety). Body consciousness, He had none, but He had great love for the disciples. There are two kinds of Gurus (1) "Niyat" (appointed or fixed) and (2) "Aniyat" (unappointed or general). The latter by their advice develop the good qualities in us, purify our hearts and set us on the path of salvation; but contact with the former, dispels our quality (sense of difference); and establishes us in Unity by making us realize ":Thou art that". There are various Gurus imparting to us various kinds of worldly knowledge, but he, who fixed us in our Nature (Self) and carries us beyond the ocean of worldly existence, is the Sadguru.
Sai Baba was such a Sadguru. His greatness is undscribable. If anybody went to take His darshana, he, without being asked, would give every details of his past, present and future life. He saw Divinity in all beings. Friends and foes were alike to Him. Disinterested and equal-balanced, He obliged the evil-doers. He was the same in prosperity and adversity. No doubt, ever touched Him. Though He possessed the human body, He was not in the least attached to His body or house. Though He looked embodied, He was really disembodied, i.e., free in this every life.
Blessed are the people of Shirdi, who worshipped Sai as their God. While eating, drinking, working in their backyards and fields and doing various household works, they always remembered Sai and sang His glory. They knew no other God except Sai." extracted from "SAISACHARITRA" written by "Hemandpunth", in order to provide exact meaning of Sadguru.
