MESSAGE FROM EL DESPERTAR SAI

DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS

THE NEWS THAT SWAMI HAS LEFT HIS PHYSICAL BODY HAS SURPRISED US GREATLY. WE DID NOT EXPECT IT.

THERE IS A FLOW OF COMMENTS ABOUT SWAMI LEAVING US EARLIER THAN HE HAD ANNOUNCED, SUPPOSEDLY AT THE AGE OF 96. I DO NOT THINK WE HAVE A RIGHT TO JUDGE OR CRITICIZE WHAT HE MIGHT HAVE SAID.  ABOVE ALL, SWAMI KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT IS CORRECT. OUR DUTY IS SIMPLY TO SURRENDER OURSELVES AT HIS LOTUS FEET AND TO HIS WILL..THE DISCIPLE OR DEVOTEE IS NOT UP TO “JUDGING” HIS TEACHER’S PLANS.

SWAMI KNOWS WHAT IS BEST FOR EACH ONE US. WHENEVER I HAVE FELT UNCERTAIN ABOUT MY LIFE, I SIMPLY SURRENDER TO HIS WILL AND TELL HIM: “SWAMI,  LEAD MY LIFE; YOU KNOW BETTER.

THE GURU OR TEACHER IS TO COACH HIS DISCIPLE’S LIFE

SWAMI CONTINUES TO ABIDE IN THE UNIVERSE; SWAMI IS EVER IN OUR HEARTS, SWAMI KEEPS CONTROLLING EVERYTHING. WE CAN STILL TALK WITH  HIM, WE CAN FEEL HIM, WE CAN STILL ASK HIM FOR THINGS AND PREY TO HIM.

AS SHIRDI SAI BABA SAID: “I WAS WHEN YOU WERE NOT; I AM WHEN YOU ARE; I SHALL BE WHEN YOU ARE NO MORE.”

THE SAI ORGANIZATION WILL CONTINUE TO WORK AS IT HAS SO FAR, AND SO WILL THE SAI CENTERS. THIS ORGANIZATION IS TO GROW MUCH MORE.

WHEN SHIRDI SAI BABA LEFT, HE HAD FEW DEVOTEES, BUT THERE ARE CURRENTLY MILLIONS OF SHIRDI SAI BABA’S DEVOTEES IN THE WORLD.

THE FESTIVITIES CELEBRATED DURING SHIRDI’S LIFE TIME CONTINUE TO TAKE PLACE UP TO DAY, AND THE FIRE TO PRODUCE THE  ‘UDI’ IS STILL LIT.

WHEN JESUS CHRIST LEFT, HE HAD VERY FEW FOLLOWERS, BUT THERE ARE CURRENTLY MILLIONS OF CHRISTIANS IN THE WORLD. CHRISTIANITY IS THE LARGEST RELIGION IN THE WORLD.

ALONG THE PATH OF KNOWLEDGE TO SATHY SAI BABA, WE HAVE GONE THROUGH DIFFERENT STAGES; ON THE FIRST STAGE, WE ACCEPTED HIM AS A GURU; ON THE SECOND STAGE WE ACCEPTED HIM AS THE PURNA AVATAR; AS THE INCARNATION OF GOD, BEARING THE GODLY ATTRIBUTES OF: OMNIPRESENCE, OMNISCIENCE AND OMNIPOTENCE; ON THE THIRD STAGE HE IS ACCEPTED AS THE ABSOLUTE GOD. WE ARE STILL TO REACH THE FOURTH STAGE WHEN WE ACKNOWLEDGE: GOD AND I ARE ONE. SATHYA SAI BABA AND I ARE THE SAME BEING.  IT IS THEN WHEN WE REACH LIBERATION, WHEN WE REACH THE SAMADHI, WHEN WE TRANSCEND THE MIND, WHEN WE CONTACT THE ATMA.

MANY PEOPLE HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED SAI BABA AS THE ABSOLUTE GOD FROM THE BEGINNING.

EVERYONE KNOWS THE ANECDOTE WHEN SAI WAS ASKED “ARE YOU GOD?” HE REPLIED:”YOU ARE GOD, I AM GOD; BUT I AM AWARE OF THE FACT AND YOU ARE NOT.” THEN THEY WOULD ASK HIM “WHAT MUST I DO TO KNOW?” AND HE WOULD SAY: “TAKE MY HAND AND I SHALL WALK THE PATH WITH YOU; IN THE END YOU WILL REALIZE THAT YOU, THE PATH AND I ARE THE SAME.

EL DESPERTAR SAI SITES SHALL BE WORKING NORMALLY AS THEY HAVE SO FAR…OR UNTIL SWAMI SHOULD INSTRUCT US DIFFERENTLY.

MAY SWAMI BLESS YOUR LIVES, MAY SWAMI BE WITH YOU.

OM SRI SAI RAM. OM SAI NATHAYA NAMAHA. JAI MATA DI. OM GAM GANAPATAYE NAMOH NAMAHA.
