Never be deluded by seeing Swami in person.

[Guest guest]

Many might have seen baba several years ago, say 20 years or so. Baba was brisk, used to walk the entire Dharsan lines, accepting letters, offering solace, creating Vibuthi, autographing photos, calling people for interview etc. He is now past 80 years. Swami assert that He is hale and healthy and maintain 108 pounds of weight, taking some spoonful of "Ragi gruel". Anybody who works like him expend lot of calories. But Swami never evince any tiredness or so. The secret behind Swami's activities is very simple. Selfless Love towards the entire humanity. Even those who write about Baba basing on their own imaginations and attributing all negative, are dear to Him as those who are devoted to Him. Swami says, He can walk around alone. But the Doctors and student attendants never leave him to walk alone. They imagine that Swami may hurt him if not aided. All this is the play of Maya. In the eyes of all Swami is seen as a 80 years aged, and they imagine that with the hip fracture etc, he should be protected. Several times, Swami has signalled to the students not to hold him and He himself get up, move around. Once, when enquired, How he moves about without any intake of food etc, Swami replied, "You people derive strength from the food". But I am giving Shakti to the Panchendriyas". We are all deluded by the form of Sai, identifying and comparing it with our bodies.Swami says, He himself delude us into Maya. Hence, we should always be aware that it is Divinity and not human like us. Since He is moving around, talking to us, etc., we are deluded much. Let us not commit the same folly once again. Because of the accumulated merits done in various births, we are face to face with the Divine. We have to derive the Ananda, Divine Sai confers on us. Sairam.
