THIS WEEK’S MESSAGE BY BHAGAWAN SRI SATHYA SAI BABA

Whoever is afflicted with calamity; at whatever time, under whatever
conditions, your heart must react without delay and sympathy shown in some
practical manner. No one should be condemned as trash; even a little stick
can serve as a toothpick! God has not made any man wholly bad or wholly
good. Your likes and dislikes are inducing you to label them as such.

You must get equipped with strong bodies, sacred ideals and unselfish
intentions in order to serve your country. A disciplined life is the best
offering you can make to the country or to the Divine in you.
 
BHAGAWAN SRI SATHYA SAI BABA

Jai Sai Ram.

CHILDREN’S WORD FOR THE WEEK

DIFFICULTIES

Difficulties and worries are not due to outside causes. They are due to a
mind not surrendered unto God.

STORY FOR THIS WEEK

THE PURNAVATARAS

According to the Indian conception, the Lord Vishnu has so far descended
incarnate in nine forms, UNTIL THE CURRENT SHRI SATYA SAI BABA THE
YUGAVATARA.

10. SHRI SATYA SAI BABA THE YUGAVATARA.

Continued from our previous newsletter

The descent of Shirdi Sai around 1848 A.D the date of birth of the communist
manifesto was just to establish the supremacy of theism the belief in one
God over atheism the non belief in any God or just indifference to ‘theism’.
He lighted the lamps in water, not once but several times. He performed many
other miracles. As we have seen earlier, miracles are superhuman and not
supernatural acts.

Shirdi Sai did attract attention of many in the world by his miracles. But
because these were equated with yogic powers, not much attention was paid to
the principle behind these miracles, namely establishment of theism. Swami
Ramakrishna Paramhansa, Vivekananda, Dayananda Saraswati, Aurobindo Ghosha,
Mahatma Gandhi and many others advocated strongly their faith in the Vedas.
The Marxist clite and the scientific community just turned their deaf ear to
their pleadings. Their voice was very dominant in the discussions of the
elite groups, till the advent of Sri Satya Sai, the present Avatara.

He has performed thousands and thousands of miracles. These are just solid
proofs that God exists. Baba is not a Yogin or a born Siddha. For we know
that the powers of the Yogis or the Siddhas are limited. These can not
continue for all the moments of the life and for the whole of life. Baba by
these superhuman acts gives constant proof that God exists. The scientific
community has lost its old confidence that its belief that God does not
exist, was unassailable. Even the modern scientists have been stating that
all matter in its ultimate analysis is energy wave. Coupled with this is
Baba's performance of these miracles. The elite and scientific groups are
now investigating what is this phenomenon? What is Baba? Is he really God?
The day will not now be far off, when theism will firmly replace atheism.

The three middle avataras in the past had to fight their own cultural groups
for their antisocial acts. The present situation is so alarming that
corruption in highplaces, the reign of terrorism on international and
national levels, the disruption of family life unheard of in human history,
permissiveness in sex and the accompanying growth of drugging and crimes,
replacement of brain power by muscle and money power, criminalization of
politics and what not, are the order of the day.

These and other distortions Baba has to correct. These daunting and
difficult problems would unnerve any man of considerable capacity, but not
so Baba. He is set out to accomplish (1) theism, (2) root out the anti
social elements (3) and carry his message all over the globe

Baba’s miracles, though, have disturbed the scientists, yet they are not
coming forward in larger numbers to investigate the Baba phenomenon. They
want God to be found in their laboratories. God is the producer of the
energy waves, the building blocks of this vast and myriad universe. Baba’s
living example would work out the miracle of weaning away the scientific
community from their rigid and irrational stand.

The so called rationalists, from their ivory towers issue sermons and
declare that the Nature is everything and these is no conscious being who
guides the destiny of this universe. This is just a camouflage for their
dull witted attitude towards this important problem. They do not want to
define nature. Darwin their protagonist has himself stated while replying to
his friend and admirer, "Nevertheless you have expressed my inward
conviction though far more vividly and clearly than I could have done, that
the universe is not the result of chance. He again wrote to a Dutch student:
But I may say that the impossibility of convincing that this grand and
wonderous universe, with our concious selves, arose through chance seems to
me the chief argument for the existence of God. It is significant that these
observations have come from the pen of Darwin who is supposed to have
banished God from all thinking processes about creation of the universe, and
its further evolution. Darwin was thus not convinced about his own
conclusions and scientific principles. He stated: Agnostic would be more
correct discription of my state of mind.

Agnosticism stems from a weak and vascillating mind. Lord in Gita puts a
curse on these types of individuals. He says: Samshayatma Vinashyati a
doubting man comes to his own ruin These doubting Thomases with their words
of learned length and thundering sound get lost in their rhetoric. They are
neither here nor there. They end their lives with the uneasy feeling that
the science as the objective discipline can not be an answer to any
psychological problem of man. The poor fellows have not been able to
discover God whose seat is in their own hearts.

The stock argument against the existence of God is the misery and inequality
we see around. They say that if God is compassionate and impartial, why this
misery around? They forget the purpose for which the God has created this
universe. God’s design is to have variety all around. It is our daily
experience that we get bored by daily routine. The sameness everyday every
moment is the main cause of this boredom. God has therefore created this
diverse universe with myriad varieties to feast one’s eyes upon. Yet God has
given the man the intellect to know his true nature which is God Himself.
But forgetting this mission of his life and be happy, he runs after the
desires of of his senses. But this way, does not lead man to happiness. This
has been categorically stated in our Upanishads and Baba puts this very
beautifully. He says put ceiling on desires for you can not end them.

The intellectuals today do not follow this advice. They say that running
after ones own desires and trying to satisfy them, would leave no place for
boredom. They are unabashed advocates of consumerism. They do not pause to
consider whether life would not still be boring after all the desires are
satisfied. One interesting example of one Zsa Zsa Gober, a Hungarion beauty
queen 53, now settled in California is reported. She was a movie actress and
full time celebrity. After running through a string of eight husbands, she
was found by a policeman driving her Rolls Royce, with an open bottle of
strong wine by her side. She was caught and put in prison. She had beauty,
wealth and fredom to do what she liked. With eight husbands, she could not k
now what it was to be happy. Bottle of wine, she had to covet to end her
misery.

Jai Sai Ram.
