Sai Ram - Ser un estudiante de Sai. - Por Shri.B.Aravind.
Siendo un estudiante del Instituto Sathya Sai de educación superior, siempre me he llamado a mí mismo un estudiante de Sai. Tengo algunas expectativas de como debe ser un estudiante de Sai.
Yo sé lo que la sociedad espera de un estudiante de Sai.
Pero, ¿qué espera Swami de un estudiante de Sai? . ¿Quién es un estudiante de Sai?.
Esto fue compartido a mí por un hermano de Sai, que ha sido bendecido por Su gracia para viajar con él a Kodaikanal. Aunque esto fue dicho para los estudiantes, sentí que esto es bueno para todos, porque todos, no somos sus estudiantes? .

Una vez, Swami le había dicho a un estudiante, "Recuerde, sólo porque usted es un estudiante del Instituto, no implica automáticamente que usted es un estudiante de Sai!"
Esa declaración nos dice mucho ¿no? Con esta introducción, les presento lo que narró: -
Era una mañana agradable en Kodaikanal en 2006. Todos cantamos bhajans cuando Swami dio la vuelta dando su darshan, y llenando a los devotos sentados allí , con felicidad.

Después de los bhajans, todos corrieron a la sala de dibujo para el "pre-almuerzo", antes del período de sesiones e interacción con Swami. Swami estaba visiblemente muy disgustado con algo! Él no estaba hablando con nadie. Y las pocas palabras que pronunció fueron impactantes: "Quiero salir de este cuerpo".
Cada uno de nosotros se quedo desconcertado y llorábamos. El Alcaide preguntó a Swami, "Swami, por favor díganos qué es lo que le está molestando tanto? . ¿Qué error hemos expresado y comprometido, que le está doliendo tanto? . ¿Qué es lo que le hizo pronunciar estas palabras? Swami estamos listos para dar nuestras vidas, e si es necesario ".
Swami no dijo ni una palabra. Él guardó silencio. Ese día, todos fueron autorizados para ir de compras. Pero ninguno de nosotros tenía ningún interés en ir de compras. Aún así, ya que fueron las instrucciones, le obedecían. Por lo general, Swami solía preguntar a todos los niños en cuanto a lo que han comprado y que en sí mismo sería una sesión interactiva encantadora.

Pero desde aquel día, toda la atmósfera era diferente, también estrictamente decidió no observar nuestras compras.
Incluso durante el tiempo de los bocadillos, Swami no hablaba nada. Todos fuimos a los bhajans en la noche. Durante los Bhajans Swami de repente pidió que sea llevado a los micrófonos. Las primeras frases que pronunció fueron las siguientes y quedaron grabadas en mi memoria.
Quién eres tú para renunciar a sus vidas? No quiero que te mueras! . Todo lo que quiero, es que "vivan de la manera que quiero que vivan".

Es como la olla de agua que se mantiene en el agua. Es completa, siempre y cuando se sumerge en el agua. Pero en el momento en que se saca fuera del agua, el agua en la olla comienza a evaporarse.
No tengo ningún deseo. Nenu NISHKAAMUDANU - Yo soy el uno sin deseos. Mi única preocupación es acerca de todos vosotros. Quiero ser bueno y ser ideal para ser emulados.
Desde esta la mañana, no he estado hablando y al parecer ha sido molesto. Algunos de los chicos a mi alrededor me preguntaron la razón y algunos incluso dijeron que están dispuestos a dar su vida por mí. ¿Qué vida es la que quiere renunciar por él?
"La devoción no consiste en morir por Dios, sino vivir para Dios - en el espíritu de amor y servicio".
"La devoción no consiste en morir por Dios, sino vivir para Dios - en el espíritu de amor y servicio".
Entonces comprendí la diferencia entre un estudiante universitario Sathya Sai y un estudiante.
Sólo unos pocos tienen la oportunidad de ser los primeros; sólo unos pocos tienen la oportunidad de ser el último!
Si tan sólo todos nosotros, pudiéramos ser sus estudiantes ..................
Si tan sólo todos nosotros, pudiéramos ser sus estudiantes ..................
NUESTRA VIDA ES SU MENSAJE

Sai Ram - Being a Sai Student. - By Shri.B.Aravind
Being a student of the Sathya Sai Institute of Higher learning, I have always called myself a Sai student. I have some expectations of a Sai Student. I know what the society expects of a Sai Student. But what does Swami expect of a Sai Student? Who is a Sai Student?
This was shared to me by a Sai brother who has been blessed by His grace to travel with Him to Kodaikanal. Though this was told to the students, I felt that this holds good for all because are we all not His students? Once, Swami had told a student, "Remember, just because you are a student of the Institute does not automatically imply that you are a Sai Student!"
That statement tells us a lot doesn't it? With that introduction, I present what he narrated : -
It was a pleasant morning in Kodaikanal in 2006. We all sang bhajans as Swami went around giving darshan and filling devotees seated there with bliss. After the bhajans we all rushed to the drawing room for the "pre-lunch" session of interaction with Swami. Swami was visibly very upset with something! He was not talking to anyone. And the few words He spoke were shocking, " I want to leave this body".
Every one of us were taken aback and were crying. Warden sir asked Swami, "Swami, please tell us what is it that is bothering you so much? What mistake have we comitted that it is paining you so much? What is it that made you utter these words? Swami we are ready to give our lives for you if needed."
Swami did not say a word. He kept silent. That day, we all were sent for shopping. But none of us had any interest in shopping. Still, since they were the instructions we obeyed them. Generally, Swami used to ask all the boys as to what they bought and that in itself would be a lovely interactive session. But since that day the entire atmosphere was different, we also strictly decided not to bring any of our purchases downstairs.
Even during the snacks time Swami did not speak anything. We all went for bhajans in the evening. During the bhajans Swami suddenly asked for the mikes to be brought. The first few sentences He spoke were these and they remain etched in my memory.
Who are you to give up your lives? I do not want you to die! What I want you all to do is to "LIVE THE WAY I WANT YOU TO LIVE". From the time I get up in the morning till the time I go to bed I think constantly about you only. When you are with Me you are all very sweet and behave very well. But the moment you leave the portals of this place you get into the bad ways.
It is like the pot of water which is kept in the water. It is full only as long as it is immersed in the water. But the moment it is taken out of the water, the water in the pot starts evaporating. I dont have any desire. NENU NISHKAAMUDANU - I am the one without desire. My only worry is about you all. I want you to be good and be ideals to be emulated. From morning, I have not been talking and have seemingly been upset. Some of the boys around me asked the reason and some even said that they are ready to give up their lives for me. Whose life is it that you want to give it up?
Devotion lies not in dying for God, but living for God - in the spirit of Love and Service. I understood the difference between a Sathya Sai university Student and a Sai Student. Only a few get a chance to be the former; only a few take the chance to be the latter!
If only all of us can truly become His students..................
