Chapter 34
🌴. The story of Sarabheswara 🌴
🌻 Sri Datta puts His devotees in troubles, tests their devotion and then saves them - 4 🌻
Sharabheswara said, “I used to worship ‘Dhoomavathi’, one of the Dasa Maha Vidyas. According to Tantra books, she is ‘Ugra Thara’. If she is pleased, she will destroy diseases and grief. If she is angry she will destroy all happiness and wants.
If we surrender to Her, troubles will be destroyed and we will get wealth. If She is angry, She will give poverty, quarrels and hunger. I got Her grace. She will remove ‘utchatana’ and death threat. To save people from witchcraft, Her worship is necessary.
I behaved well without greed for sometime. Later I became greedly and used to extract heavy money from people having ‘utchatana’ and death threat. This was not acceptable to Her. Meanwhile, I developed relation with a powerful ‘pretaatma’ in ‘pranamaya jagat’.
I got an unprecedented power to be able to tell past, present and future with the help of that pretaatma. Such ‘pretaatmas’ will throw the people worshipping them into a pitiable condition.
One should not worship them. If worshipped, the money got by their help should be utilized for people’s welfare or donated to people in distress. In that case, the ‘pretatma’ will be in our control.
Otherwise, those pretaatmas will mislead us and put the ‘sadhaka’ into insulting situations and make him poor. Moreover, death also can occur sometimes. With selfishness, the merit in us gets depleted.
Then the prethatma will put us into all troubles. I became foolish, earned money and lived selfishly. That is why that ‘pretatma’ misled me and put me into embarrassing situation. I was insulted. From today you are my Guru Dev. Please accept me as your disciple.’
Thus he requested. I said, ‘Sir! There is only one Guru for this whole world and this creation. He is Sripada Srivallabha. If I think myself as Guru with arrogance, I will have to face more insult than that you faced.
When we came from Kurungadda, Sripada told us briefly about ‘Dasa Maha Vidyas’. He told us that the other things would be made known to you as and when time came.
I could learn about ‘Kaali’ and ‘Dhoomavathi’ from you. Please do not make me ‘Guru’. I was caught here in certain strange situations. Now I came out of them. Sripada is highly skilled in causing such situations.
He is also skilled in saving his devotees from such situations. It is always good to remember Sripada Srivallabha’s name.’
