Remember that he is beyond reason, he can make impossible, possible!
"O my devotee, be fearless, unlimited power of Swami's blessings is with you, Here is the translation of the holy Taraka Mantra of Swami Samarth Maharaj For my faith which was wavering like a turbulent river, became a still and placid lake, established in the lotus feet of Swami Maharaj. For here is the translation, and the readers will be astounded by the aptness of this mantra and how it helped me regain my footing in the narrow bridge called Sadguru's Bhakthi. When I read the translation of the Taraka Mantra, tears streaked down my cheeks and I was firmly convinced that with Swami Samarth's lotus feet in one's heart, one need not worry about anything. Someone had answered to the comment I had put on the Tarak Mantra video on youtube. For just after I had spoken to my friend and was still sitting there unconvinced, I got a mail, from youtube. On that very day, when I was frozen in the cold wind of worldly problems and desires Swami Maharaj's divine grace and blessings came to me as a warm fire and made me all right. I cannot comprehend where his Glory begins and where it ends, for it is indeed boundless. His ways are unfathomable to my simple mind. Now see the mysterious ways of Swami Maharaj. I was listening to this Mantra on Youtube, and there I posted a comment "Could someone please translate this mantra for me, as I do not know Marathi". I felt it was really powerful and that I need to understand the meaning of this Marathi mantra. One month before this day when I froze in the wind of worldly problems, I was listening to the blissful "Taraka Mantra" of Shree Swami Samarth Maharaj. In such a situation Shree Swami Samarth came to my rescue like Parabrahma came to meet Pundalika on the banks of the Chandrabhaaga. My friend somehow comforted me, but my faith was still wavering. That being the state of my mind, I was telling my close friend, I am beginning to lose faith in god. And as it turned out, I did not! Initially I took it in the right spirit, but then the thought that, had I not attended this program I could have prepared well and probably got the job kept coming to my mind. I went and attended the interview, and by the end of the interviews, I had the feeling probably I did not get the job. Later as expected, I did not get any time to prepare. But somehow it was decided, it would be wise not to miss the function. What was I to do? My mother was worried too. There was one more function the next day, and I was asked by a highly realized soul to attend it. Swami Samartha, just before taking Mahasamadhi, told his devotees that he would henceforth be in Shirdi. As I have mentioned earlier Swami Samarth and Sai Samarth are one and the same, both being incarnations of Lord Dattatreya. I attended a religious function on Shree Swami Samarth just before a big interview for a dream company. When I was thus losing faith, the ever merciful Sadguru drove sense into my head and answered most of my questions.
The same thing happened to me, and led me to question the use of doing any form of worship. Sometimes we are overwhelmed by problems in life, and then faith starts to waver.
I pray to Sadguru Sainath to help me, nay to use me as an instrument and describe his boundless glory. When this is done, he alone will get the work done through the devotee who earnestly wishes to sing his glory. By submitting my speech,hearing and all senses to him. What then is the way for me? Is it not haughty of me to think I can describe his glory? I cannot, and all I can ever do is submit my ego before his lotus feet. While describing him, the Vedas merely said "Neti Neti" (Not this, Not this). He is the Parabrahma of the Vedas and the Allah of the Koran. His powers are immesurable and he is the lord and indweller of one and all. We must surrender completely to him and think always that he knows best. Om Shree Ganeshaya Namaha! Shree Saraswatyai Namaha! Shree Kuladevatyai Namaha! Om Shree Sainaathaya Namaha! Om Shree Swami Samarthaaya Namaha! Verily we must have firm faith in the lotus feet of the Sadguru.
