Preface Of The Book
All Sai devotees throughout the world know that although Shri Shirdi Sai Baba, the most eminent among the Spiritual asters and Avatars of
the 19th and 20th centuries, had left or His Heavenly abode shedding
His mortal coil on the 15th October, 1918 at Shirdi, His compassionate
divine grace and help have been coming to those who remember His Divine
Name in the hour of their need. Therefore, His popularity as "Sub ka Malik Ek" (Master
or One God of All) has been spreading all over the globe, like wild
fire, on its own. Shirdi Sai Baba Temples have come up and are still
being established at countless places not only in India but in many far
off countries like Canada, U.S.A., U.K., Australia, Singapore, Fiji and
some African countries as well and people of all races are getting more
and more drawn towards His divine magnetic Holy Personality.
It is in this very spiritual context that this book 'Rare Messages From Shri Shirdi Sai Baba As God' is
being brought out for the information and spiritual enlightenment and
benefit of all devotees and spiritual seekers of all faiths in all
countries. It contains those 77 rare and most precious discourses or
messages given by Shri Shirdi Sai Baba as God to an earnest Parsi sadhaka (spiritual
seeker) Yogi Minocher K. Spencer of Indian origin in his meditation
sessions at the altar of meditation room in his house in Karachi during
the period from 3rd November, 1952 to 18th February, 1953.
These
are the rarest of the rare and the finest spiritual discourses or
messages given by Shri Shirdi Sai Baba as God Himself from the Heavenly
plane to Sh. Spencer, an earnest seeker of God realization, 34 years
after He (Sai Baba) completed His Avataric career at Shirdi and ascended to Heaven.
These messages constituted the crucially important and unique spiritual memoirs of Spencer's 'How I Found God', which
he wrote at the spiritual command of Shri Shirdi Sai Baba. The title of
that book manuscript was given by God Sai Baba Himself who used to
appear before him in the Astral Body almost daily in his (Spencer's)
altar room, specifically to dictate these great discourses. God had
dictated to Spencer his soul's biography 'Romance of A Soul' which
was a thrilling story of all his three human births on this planet -
first as Petricio ( 1213-1349), a great Italian Catholic iterant monk
and forceful preacher who founded the famous Order of Friars and brought
thousands to Christ's fold; the soul took second birth as an illiterate
poor Hindu woman in South India, whose marriage to a rather rough and
cruel man double her age was a bed of thorns, but she had dedicatedly
and selflessly served the local poor community and was held virtually as
a goddess. The soul's third and the last birth was as Minocher K.
Spencer in a Parsi (Zoroastrian) family in Pune on 4th October, 1888.
Minocher K. Spencer had migrated to Karachi city of Pakistan before
India's Partition in August, 1947.
In
its third and the last human birth, Spencer's soul was solely and
firmly determined to achieve God realization. Therefore, God had, from
the moment of his birth, placed him in the charge of the great Spirit
Master Rishi Ram Ram of Higher Spiritual Plane to train him spiritually
so that his soul's ardent yearning to see God face to face and thus
achieve God realization· might be finally fulfilled in this last birth.
The Spirit Master Rishi Ram Ram used to train and guide Spencer daily
till 11th May, 1949, on which date (Shri Shirdi) Sai Baba Himself as God
took over the charge of his spiritual training by giving this message
to him in his meditation:
"Yes,
I am Sai Baba. I was with you all the time while you were sitting
absorbed in silence in thoughts of God. I have come to tell you that I
have taken over your charge from Ram Ram and you will now have to follow
Me completely. Concentrate on My picture and I shall reward you with
joy."
Prior to this, the Spirit Master Rishi Ram had on 10th April, 1949 itself told Spencer:
" ... you have passed all the stages for which I was competent to help you. You don't need the Master's (My) help any more. God alone can now help you ..I have taken you to the very end of the journey. It is now for God (Sai Baba) to take you in."
