වන්දනය හා තමනට හිමි කාර්යය ඉටු කිරීම එකිනෙකින් වෙනස් වූ සංකල්පයන්ද යන්න භගවාන් සමිඳුන් උතුම් භක්තිවන්තයෙකුගේ උදාහරණක්ද සමගින් පැහැදිළි කර දේ.
සත්වික් ගුණය (පවිත්ර) අගයන බැතිමතා සියල්ලන් දෙවියන්ගේ ප්රතිමුර්තීන් ලෙස සලකමින් නිහතමානීව සේවය කරයි. පුන්ඩලික මෙවන් බැතිමතෙක් විය. දිනෙක පුන්ඩලික තම වියපත් මවගේ දෙපා සම්භාහනය කරමින් සිටින විට දෙවියන් ඔහු සමීපයට පැමිණියහ. ටුකාරාම් මේ බව පුන්ඩලිකට දැන්වූ විට පුන්ඩලික තම මවට කරමින් තිබූ සේවාව නැවැත්වුයේ නැත. පුන්ඩලික දෙවියන්හට දන්වා සිටියේ තම මාතාවට කරන සේවය නිම වනතුරු නැවතී සිටින ලෙසයි. දරුවෙකු තම මව වෙත දක්වන ප්රේමය ඔහුගේ දිව්යමය ස්වභාවය ප්රදර්ශණය කරයි. මෙසේ ප්රේමය පතුරවන්නා පුජනීය ස්ථානයකට ගියද, නොගියද, ඔහු දෙවියන්හට භක්තිය දනවන්නෙක් වේ. සත්ය වශයෙන්ම පුන්ඩලික තමන්හට සමීපතම දෙවියන් වූ මෑණියන් වන්දනය කළේය. ඔබද ඔබට සමීපතම හා දර්ශණය වන දිව්ය ස්වරූපයේ සිට නිරූපි, නිර්ගුණ තත්වය වෙත පා නැගිය යුතු වේ.

තම දෙමාපියන් සතුටට පත් කරන අය වෙත දෙවියන්ගේ ආශිර්වාදය හිමි වේ. ස්වාමි.
Is worship and duty two different activities? Bhagawan clearly explains today, giving the example of a great devotee of the Lord.
The satwik (the pure and good), love all as embodiments of God and engage themselves in humble service. Pundalika was one such. He was massaging the feet of his old mother when God appeared before him! He did not interrupt the service, for he was serving the same God, in his mother! Tukaram declared to Pundalika that it was God who manifested before him, but Pundalika did not waver. He asked God to wait for a while until he had finished the service of the God he had started serving. The prompting inside man to love his mother is an expression of the Divine Nature in him. If there was no spark of the Divine in man, he would not have loved at all. A person who loves is a theist, whether he goes to a temple or church, or not. Pundalika was not guilty of sacrilege, for he was actually worshipping God in His most accessible Form – his mother. You have to proceed from the known to the unknown!

நமது சிந்தனைக்கு பகவான் ஸ்ரீ சத்ய சாயி பாபாவின் அமுதமொழி – ஜனவரி 22, 2024
சாத்விக குணம் படைத்தவர்கள், அனைவரையும் இறைவனின் திருவடிவாகக் கருதி நேசித்து, தங்களைப் பணிவான சேவையில் ஈடுபடுத்திக் கொள்வார்கள். அப்படிப்பட்டவர்களுள் புண்டலிகனும் ஒருவன். புண்டலிகன் தன்னுடைய வயதான தாய்க்கு பாதசேவை செய்து கொண்டிருந்தபோது இறைவன் அவன் முன் தோன்றினான். ஆயினும் அவன் தனது சேவையை நிறுத்தவில்லை, ஏனெனில் புண்டலிகன் தன் தாயினுள் இருக்கும் அதே இறைவனுக்குத் தான் சேவை செய்து கொண்டிருந்தான்! துக்காராம் புண்டலிகனிடம், “உனக்கு முன் தோன்றி இருப்பது இறைவனே!” என்று சொல்லிய போதும்கூட புண்டலிகன் அசைந்து கொடுக்கவில்லை. தன் தாய்க்கு செய்து கொண்டிருந்த அரும்சேவை முடியும்வரை சற்று காத்திருக்குமாறு அவன் இறைவனை வேண்டிக் கொண்டான். தன் தாயை நேசிக்குமாறு மனிதனைத் தூண்டுவது அவனில் உள்ள தெய்வத்துவத்தின் வெளிப்பாடே. மனிதனுள் தெய்வத்தின் பொறி இல்லையென்றால், அவன் நேசித்தே இருக்க மாட்டான்! ஒருவன் கோவிலுக்கோ, தேவாலயத்திற்கோ சென்றாலும் செல்லாவிட்டாலும், நேசிக்கும் இயல்பு கொண்டிருந்தால் அவன் ஆஸ்திகன் தான்! இறைவனைக் காத்திருக்கும்படி வேண்டிக்கொண்டதால், புண்டலிகன் எந்த தெய்வ நிந்தனைக்கும் ஆளாகவில்லை; ஏனென்றால் அவன் மிகவும் எளிதில் அணுகக்கூடிய இறைவடிவில் இருக்கும் தன் தாயைத்தான் ஆராதித்துக் கொண்டிருந்தான். தெரிந்த ஒன்றிலிருந்து தான் தெரியாத ஒன்றை உணர்ந்தறிவதற்கு நீங்கள் முற்பட வேண்டும்.
– தெய்வீக அருளுரை, மே 24, 1967
