The
most beautiful way to pray shirdi sai is imagining him in the form
of "Light" .Try to do this by chanting "sairam"or
any of your favourite mantra.Look at saibaba statue or this photo
and close your eyes. Chant sairam from your heart and imagine rays
of lighting emerging between the two fingers and feel blessed....
The Light of Shirdi Saibaba
How to meditate on Baba? No one has been able to fathom the nature
or the form of the Almighty. Even the Vedas and the thousand-tongued
Shesha are not able to describe it fully; but the devotees cannot
but know and look at the form of the Lord, for they know that His
Feet are the only means of their happiness. They know no other method
of attaining the supreme goal of life, except meditating on the
Holy Feet. Hemadpant suggests an easy way of devotion and meditation
as follows:-
As the dark fortnight of every month wears out gradually, the
moonlight also wanes in the same degree and on the newmoon day,
we do not see the moon at all, nor do we get her light. Therefore,
when the bright fortnight begins, people are very anxious to see
the moon.
On the first day, the moon is not seen and on the second day also
she is not clearly visible. Then the people are asked to see the
moon through an opening between the two branches of a tree, and
when they begin to see through this aperture eagerly and after concentratedly,
the distant small crescent of the moon comes, to their great delight,
within their ken. Following this clue, let us try to see Baba's
Light.
Look at Baba's posture, how fine it is! He is sitting with His
legs folded,the right leg held across the left knee. The fingers
of His left hand are spread on the right-foot. On the right toe
are spread His two fingers-the index and middle ones. By this posture
Baba means to say, as it were-if you want to see
My Light, be egoless and most humble and meditate on My toe through
the opening between the two branches-index and middle fingers-and
then you will be able to see My Light. This is the easiest
means of attaining devotion.
