Ignorance Is Like Dust In The Eye
Namo Sai Nathaya
To realize Sai Baba is our real and eternal nature. We are always part of Lord Sainath, but through ignorance, we come to believe we are perishable bodies and changing individual souls only. What is needed is to remove this veil of ignorance and reveal Sai Baba in us.
Here is an instance. A man traveling in the train, when peeping outside the window, got coal dust into his eyes. His eyes started to irritate, and the man became restless and unhappy — his eyes reddened. He tried to remove the dust by rubbing the eyes with his handkerchief, but the speck of dust could not be dislodged. Soon after he got down from the train and reached home, he asked his mother to remove the dust by pouring oil into the affected eye. When the mother did so, the dust came off and the irritation stopped.
Now the man exclaimed, “Oh! how happy I am!” The question now is — after the removal of foreign matter from the eyes, did he get any new happiness, or did he only recover the happiness that he had lost for the time being? It is certainly the latter. But when he was relieved of the irritation, he felt at first as though he had got new happiness. So, in the case of an ignorant soul, the removal of ignorance means the recovering of Divine Consciousness of Sai Baba in us, being obsessed with illusion. We are eternally one with Lord Sainath, only the false sense of separation must go.
Yours SAI BABA
