The Lost Years of Jesus Christ

May 2, 2006

Dear Sai family.Om Sri Sai Ram.In the last article,I said that JESUS had reached PERSEPOLIS on his way back home to NAZARETH after having been trained in INDIA and in other countries like TIBET.Now, here is the continuation of the story of his life according to THE AQUARIAN GOSPEL OF JESUS THE CHRSIT which Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba has recommended to some of his devotees.

A feast in honour of the magian God was being held, and many men were gathered in PERSEPOLIS.And on the great day of the feast the ruling magian master said : Within these sacred walls is liberty; whoever wills to speak may speak.

And JESUS standing in the midst of all the people, said : My brothers,sisters,children of our Father-God, most blest are you among the sons of men today, because you have such just conceptions of THE HOLY ONE and man.Your purity in worship and in life is pleasing unto God; and to your master, ZARATHUSTRA, praise is due.Well say you all: There is one God from whose great being there came forth the SEVEN SPIRITS that created heaven and earth; and manifest unto the sons of men are these great spirits in the sun, and moon, and stars.But in our sacred books we read that two among these are of superior strength ; that one of these created all the good; the other one created all that evil is.I pray you,honoured masters,tell me how that evil can be born of that which is all good?

A magus rose and said: If you will answer me,your problem will be solved.We all do recognise the fact that evil is.Whatever is,must have a cause.If God, the One, made not this evil, then, where is the God who did?

And JESUS said : Whatever God, the One, has made is good,and like the great first Cause,the seven Spirits all are good,and everything that comes from their creative hands is good.Now,all created things have colours,tones and forms their own; but certain tones,though good and pure themselves,when mixed,produce inharmonies,discordant tones.And certain things, though good and pure,when mixed,produce discordant things,yea,poisonous things,that men call evil things.SO EVIL IS THE INHARMONIOUS BLENDING OF THE COLOURS,TONES,OR FORMS OF GOOD.Now man is not all-wise,and yet has will his own.He has the power and uses it to mix God's good things in a multitude of ways,AND EVERY DAY HE MAKES DISCORDANT SOUNDS,AND EVIL THINGS.AND EVERY TONE AND FORM,BE IT OF GOOD OR ILL,BECOMES A LIVING THING,A DEMON,SPRITE,OR SPIRIT OF A GOOD OR VICIOUS KIND.MAN MAKES HIS DEVIL THUS; AND THEN BECOMES AFRAID OF HIM AND FLEES; HIS DEVIL IS EMBOLDENED,FOLLOWS HIM AWAY AND CASTS HIM INTO TORTURING

FIRES.THE DEVIL AND THE BURNING FIRES ARE BOTH THE WORKS OF MAN,AND NONE CAN PUT THE FIRES OUT AND DISSIPATE THE EVIL ONE, BUT MAN WHO MADE THEM BOTH.

Then JESUS stood aside,and not a magus answered him.And he departed from the place and went into a secret place to pray.

Dear Sai family,aren't these exactly the teachings of BHAGAVAN SRI SATHYA SAI BABA who says that there is nothing else but GOD in the entire universe,nay, in the entire cosmos?Where then is the devil of which so many clamour in panic and fear???

With prema,

SASE.
