Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Thus Spake The Lord When I said that had taken on the illness that was destined for some one who could not have suffered it or survived it, many of you felt, "Why should Swami, for the sake of a single person, plunge so many of us in grief?" Well! Did not Rama proceed to the forest though all Ayodhya wept? My Dharma of Bhaktharakshana (protection of devotees) must be carried out; the Dharma of the disease must also be worked out. Krishna could have stopped the rains, however powerful Indhra was; but, Indhra had to do his Dharma and by lifting Govardhanagiri to protect the cows and cowherds, Krishna manifested His Divinity! In this case also, it is the same Leela (Divine sportive act) using the chance to demonstrate to a doubting world the Divinity inherent in this Human Form. I told you yesterday that even this lucky bhaktha was just an instrument to work out the promise made in the past to the Sage Bharadhwaja; it served to announce My real Nature to you all. You are indeed fortunate that you could witness on the sacred Guru Pournima Day this magnificent proof of My Divinity. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. III, Chapter 16.
