Maha Shivaratri Experience
February 25, 1998
The messages of meditation and the follow up of those topics in
variety of books conveyed the following to Dolly "God wishes you to
transform yourself for the higher life. While performing your worldly
duties He wants you to serve him by becoming his instrument and help
establish Sanathan Dharma, become the source of joy for people around
you, help several people attain peace and liberation by sharing your holy
experiences and offering clarification of religious scriptures and religious
practices. He wants you to become His effective instrument by first
eliminating all your lower tendencies / the defects, and then learn the
knowledge and wisdom of the Vedas, Vedanta, and Upanishads. Do
Sadhana, obey his commands and don't worry about anything. He has
taken the full burden of your karma; your thoughts words and actions are
all prompted and done by Him."
Maha Shivaratri Experience
She took time off from work February 24 through 26. During her
meditation on February 23 Baba asked her not to meditate the next day
but spend entire day reading "Sai Baba's Gita" with the purpose of self
inquiry on the 17 virtues that she was supposed to have by Shivaratri. He
also advised her to spend the morning of February 25th in finishing up
the writing of her experiences thus far. Another piece of advice was to
go to Mandir fresh like a flower. She followed all advice as best as she
could. On the morning of Shivaratri day she did meditate as usual. When
she went downstairs to record the contents of the morning's meditation,
internally something stopped her from recording. But later she found it
all right to write about it. That morning Baba gave her a top view of an
ocean where she could see herself walking back and forth on the
seashore. Baba said "you will be treading the path on the shore, you will
not yet merge in the ocean and you will also not get into the material
world. Be willing to be a tree who does not taste the sweetness of its
fruit."
