Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 question that day was a very unique one. Baba asked the boys pointing to Himself,..."Who am I?" The answer came almost immediately; "God! shouted many boys simultaneously. They had thought that the question was very simple....But Baba smiled and said "Not correct!" Everyone was puzzled. One of the boys said, "Swami, You are Shiva Shakti swaroopa!" All looked at Bhagavan expectantly. A beautiful smile bloomed on His joyful face... He said ..."Not correct!". Many felt that one His divine pranks was unfolding. One of the student made a bold to say, "Swami You are Sai Krishna come again!" Baba laughed aloud and repeated, "Not correct!Swami, You are Serva Devata swaroopa!" said one of the elderly devotee. "Not correct!" Both the young and old were nonplussed and the situation was interesting. One of devotee pleaded, Swami, please tell us who You are!" "I am I !" declared Bhagavan. Everyone laughed and there was a mood of merriment all over. But Swami continued to be serious. Sensing Swami's seriousness, everyone became serious. The atmosphere turned completely sublime as Swami explained. " I is the basis of everything. To say ' I am this or that' is dwaita bhavam- duality. ' I am I , means adwaitam or ekatwam- oneness. That is the ultimate truth. It is this " I " which is called by various names- God, Atma, Brahman, Krishna, Rama, Shiva or Allah or Yahweh." An Avatar is an enigma wrapped in the mystery . To us human, He will remain a riddle forever. Bhagavan Baba has declared, "You cannot know My Reality today or even if all mankind joined that effort, "An Avatar is aware not only of His previous and future lives, but also about, the past,present and future of all creatures. But man does not know his own past or future lives, and not even his future in the present life itself. How can one he understand Avatar?.
