Satsang 'Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi -A God!' by Bapatla Hanumanth Rao Garu

To the second question: Are the existing Gods not enough? God
assumed many forms several times out of His boundless Love for
His children and taught Dharma and showed right path to them.
But people could not grasp this Dharma with their religious
intolerances. They lost happiness in this world and also denied
salvation in the other world. They were constantly troubled and
were unable to have any peace of mind. They lost direction.
Under these circumstances God assumed the form Sri Sai Baba
to alleviate their sufferings and remove ill will borne out of
religious fanaticism. He showed these warring fractions, the
right path. He brightened their souls with the truth that "God is
only one". God came into this world as Sai Baba to teach the
'Prema Tatwam' (Love towards all). He preached to the followers
of different sects in Hinduism that "All forms of Gods are One
and the same". He demonstrated to them by giving Darshan in
that form in which they perceived of Him. They could feel from
their experiences that Sai Baba is none other than the 'Godly
Form' which they worship. He could also make them feel that
all saints are forms of Him only
'Sri Krishna' says in Bhagavadgita:
"Sages look with equal eye on a Brahamine, rich with learning
and culture, or a cow, or an elephant or even a dog or an eater
of; dogs" (Gita - 5-18)
"He who sees Me in all beings, and all beings in Me - to him
I am never lost nor he to me (Gita - 6-30)
Baba had taught this truth, as revealed in the scriptures to his
devotees, not as some sacred words, but practically in their
day to day experiences. Those who follow the teachings of
Baba with infinite faith can attain peace and contentment in
their lives. Baba has gone nowhere. Though He left his mortal
body in 1918, He is still there, where He had stayed earlier.
It is my friend's query which prompted me to speak a few
good things about Sri Sai Baba. It was the will of Baba
instrumental in raising the question -
and it was his wish only that made me press some of my
thoughts. I bow hundred times to Sai in the form of my friend
who has given me this opportunity.
To sum up, I venture to state the following at the cost of
repetition. Sri Sai Baba is truely God. He is an incarnation
of God. He knows everything. He dwells in the hearts of
every one as the 'Inner Self. He knows our minds and directs
us. He commands the five elements. He leads the entire
universe according to his will. Sai's love is unparalled on all
living beings including the mean and low. He is Omnipresent,
Omniscient and Omnipotent. His teachings are all of universal
nature. He is the modern prophet. Those who surrender to Him
with full faith, look to Him for solutions to their problems, and
worship (love) Him with devotion will surely be rewarded. They
will be successful ultimately in their pursuits. Their genuine
wishes shall always be granted. Sai grace is not confined to
persons of any particular sect, caste, religion or nationality.
