Excerpts from speeches delivered by Siddha Yogi Shri
Siva Shankar Baba
Bhasmasura does severe
penance and Lord Siva grants him a boon. Bhasmasura
seeks that anyone on whose head he places his hand must
be burnt to ashes. For his penance, the boon must be
granted. After Siva grants the boon, if Bhasmasura tries
to test it on Siva Himself, Siva has to flee.
People can come to me, only if they have been devout.
Once they come to me, I have to grant their prayers.
They have shown that commitment to God and I have the
power to give them what they want. If they try to act as
Bhasmasura did, I have to protect myself.
This is seen in the Puranas. Someone would have obtained
a boon from Brahma but would turn against Him. Some
other would have got a boon from Vishnu but bear grudge
against Him. Their penance has a power. Whoever performs
penance has to get the fruits of his efforts. How can
you discriminate against a person when he has really
taken up the examination? A person sits in the solitude
of the forest, lights up a fire, performs rigorous
penance and is prepared to even chop off his head. How
can the deity refuse to grant him a boon?
So also, whoever comes to me is linked by previous birth
connections. I may owe them something in return. When
they come to Samratchana, I give them their due.
The reason why I quote their ingratitude is to help
others learn from them and refrain from that path. More
than my regret that they have steered away is my anxiety
that others must not digress from the right path.
