In one of his deeply insightful Satsangs on the auspicious occasion of Ekantvas, Hazir Swaroop Sai Sadhram Saheb lovingly explained the true purpose behind sitting in solitude. Ekantvas is not mere isolation, it is a sacred opportunity to connect with our inner self. In that quiet space, our bond with Parmatma deepens, and the path to spiritual oneness becomes illuminated.
We behave kindly with some, but unfairly with others. We express love to a few, yet harbor dislike toward others. We support some, yet deceive or harm others. And based on our conduct—both good and bad—we receive results accordingly. At times, we are praised, and at other times, criticized. We experience both respect and humiliation, profit and loss.
This constant fluctuation in life is a reflection of our karmas. Sai Jan beautifully reminded us that the human birth has been gifted to us so that we may rise above such instability and live a life of awareness, humility, and responsibility.
We come to the sacred shelter of our Satguru not merely to listen to His glories, but to imbibe His teachings and transform our way of life. By walking the path shown by our Satguru, we refine our thoughts and elevate our conduct. True spiritual growth lies in living the values we learn—not just discussing them.
Saijan shared a profound truth and said that some people change according to time, conditions, and surroundings—while others remain unwavering and constant in all circumstances. The ones who stay rooted in their principles, unaffected by changing environments, are far more powerful than those who change to fit in. Those who mold themselves to please everyone lose their ability to think and act for themselves.
Only those who take charge of time, who do not allow themselves to be swept away by external influences, emerge as strong, wise, and inspiring individuals, true leaders who guide others by example.
Our lives are also influenced by the karmas and tendencies carried forward from our past births. These karmic impressions shape our thoughts, habits, and experiences. Yet, the message is clear: We are not meant to be slaves of time or karmas. We are here to transform our karmas, not just endure them.
We must learn not to blindly agree with wrong ideologies just because many people follow them or out of fear of upsetting others. If we compromise our principles for approval, we lose our inner strength, clarity, and self-respect. With courage and faith, we must stand firm in what is true and right.
Through regular dhyan (meditation), we learn to introspect and recognize areas within us that need change. Dhyan brings awareness, sharpens our intellect, and helps us act with wisdom rather than impulse.
Saijan emphasized that our company matters immensely. The thoughts and vibrations of those around us influence us deeply. Hence, we must be mindful in choosing our company and avoid being swayed by others’ negative or misguided opinions. God has blessed each of us with a pure inner voice—we must learn to trust and follow it.
Those who lose their individuality in an attempt to fit into every situation, who forget who they truly are, gradually lose their identity. They seek validation from others but fail to gain true respect. They drift through life without ever standing for themselves.
Hazir Swaroop Sai Sadhram Saheb taught: “Live life on your own terms, do not simply go where the flow takes you. Let your life reflect your values, not the world’s confusion.”
This clarity and inner strength is cultivated only at the holy feet of the True Satguru.
Shahanshah Satguru Swami Sai Satramdas Saheb’s divine presence was so powerful that even wild creatures were transformed by His purity. A striking example is the story of a snake that once entered His room while He was in meditation. Instead of being aggressive, the snake became calm and peaceful. It remained near Saijan, attended every satsang, and even participated silently in the sacred aarti at Raharki Saheb after Shahanshah Satguru left this mundane world, demonstrating the miraculous effect of divine vibrations.
Hazir Swaroop Sai Sadhram Saheb lovingly reminded us that if even a venomous snake can be transformed in the company of the divine, then why can’t we, as human beings, transform too? That is why we come to the Satguru’s door, to dissolve our inner poisons: jealousy, hatred, ego, and delusion. In the sacred presence or divine companionship of the Shahnshah Satguru , we are spiritually refreshed, cleansed, and transformed
Sai Jan said, that
We have lost our willpower. We live by copying others, speaking like them, behaving like them, thinking like them. In the process, we lose our originality, our strength, and our dignity.
We’ve become so used to external influences that our own thoughts have become weak. We’ve lost our ability to make decisions based on inner wisdom. Instead of being self-reliant, we’ve become dependent on others’ ways of thinking and living.
We don’t even know our true purpose in life. And because we haven’t discovered it for ourselves, we haven’t been able to guide our children either. We’re all moving forward—without direction, without aim.
Our minds wander, and our steps falter. We often say: “It’s all because of our past karmas.” But is that all there is to our life? No. We have been given human birth not just to suffer karmas, but to rise and transform them.
God has given us the power to reflect, to choose, and to change. We have the ability to rewrite our destiny through awareness and effort.
Living among others does not mean losing ourselves. We must stay grounded in truth and remain alert to our actions, never letting external pressures push us toward sin or compromise.
To walk our own path, we need courage, conviction, and the willingness to rise above the ordinary. True transformation begins at the doorstep of the Satguru. Even there, we must be ready to surrender and renew ourselves, every day, every moment.
Freshness in our thoughts brings energy into our lives. If we live the same routine every day without growth, life becomes dull and colorless. It’s not about simply moving with time, it’s about leading time with purpose.
Will we continue to live like puppets, pulled by past karmas? Or will we rise with resolve and change them?
Saijan explained, that Through Naam, Dhyan, and Simran, we become mentally strong. We develop clarity and inner stability. We stop fearing what others think and begin walking our path with boldness, even if that means going against the flow.
To walk on the path of Satya (Truth) requires true power and conscious effort, and that strength is found through Nem, Dhyan, and Simran.
