The Different Types of Bhav
In this talk, Baba Bholenath discusses various devotional sentiments that devotees have. He speaks about Kunti Mata and how she asked Lord Krishna to only bestow her with sorrow, so that she may remember God at all times. Bholebaba says this is not necessarily a favourable attitude to cherish. He elaborates that if her intention were to take on the difficulties of others, then it would be alright to do so.
Bholebaba also speaks of Kabir and Osho, and cites how mankind cannot truly understand what Masters do and why, as people are stuck with their own ideas and cannot look beyond the obvious. Sai Baba Himself was greatly misunderstood, and people of both major faiths wanted to link Baba to a particular religion and creed, both of which Baba was beyond.
Finally, Bholebaba shares a story when he had, in childhood, visited a village where both devotees of the Hindu and Muslim communities resided in harmony. He questions today's modernisation and divisive politics, and asks us to reflect on where we are truly heading.
