Sai - Our Destination

[Guest guest]

" When I am with men I am a man, when with women I am a woman, with

children I am a child, alone I am God. "

 

This perhaps explains why we are not always able to comprehend Him.

This also perhaps explains why He comes down to our level, in order to raise us

and transform our hearts. Every pilgrim to Parthi, has his own tale to tell.

 

" I first give you what you want, so that one day you may want what I

have come to give. "

 

The relationship which Sai Students share with Him is unique. He is

at once a patient teacher, a loving mother, a strict father, while also being

the Divine who resides in our hearts. He is the force within us - all of us

merely His instruments. To us, who have basked in His love, He is our friend,

our guide – our goal.

 

" Since I move about with you, eat like you and talk with you, you

are deluded into the belief that this is but an instance of common

humanity. Be warned against this mistake. I am also deluding you by my

singing with you, talking with you and engaging myself in activities

with you. But, any moment, my divinity may be revealed to you; you

have to be ready, prepared for that moment. Since divinity is enveloped by

humanness, you must endeavour to overcome the Maya that hides it from your eyes.

This is a human form, in which every divine entity, every divine principle –

that is to say all the names and forms ascribed by man to god-are manifest.

 

How fortunate you are that you can witness all the countries of the

world paying homage to Bharatha – you can hear adoration of Sathya

Sai's name reverberating throughout the world even while this body

is existing - not at some future date, but when it is with you before

you….. Do not be misled into error and loss. The time will soon come

when this huge building or even vaster ones will be too small for the

gatherings for those who are called to this place. The sky itself will

have to be the roof of the auditorium of the future " .

 

Those of us, who are witness to the glimpses of His divinity while

relating to him as a mother, a father, guru or even a friend, realize

this. We, who come to Him as pieces, are sculpted into masterpieces.

He is the `One' that assigns us – `zeroes', a value.

 

What we constantly need to remind ourselves, is that the Divine

descent is for our ascent.
