Was Sai Baba an Avtaar or a Sadguru ?

 

With whatever little I have read and I know of Baba, I am attempting

to answer this question. I feel, Baba was an Avtaar and also a

Sadguru.

 

As an Avtaar (God incarnate), in spite of being in a physical body He

could operate beyond the confines of Age, Body and Space. He could be

anywhere at anytime. He had control of all five elements. When

summoned by a court commission He said that his caste was Parvardigar

(means one who sustains all Vishnu Shakti). His age was millions of

years. He knew everyone, He belonged to everyone, everything belonged

to Him. Despite His leaving the physical form for over 80 years now,

people still feel His presence in Shirdi and all around, at all times.

 

As the Param Sadguru, He united people of different sects, preached

them to live together. He allowed diversity to bring unity (e.g. He

celebrated Hindu festivals when Muslims were also present and vice

versa). He worked hand in hand with His disciples to lead them on a

spiritual path that brings salvation and liberation. He first

fulfilled the material desires of people in the hope that after their

material desires are fulfilled, they would have a stronger belief and

would start seeking what He wanted to give. His approach to solve

human problems and His teachings were simple and easy to relate i.e.

God realization. All of which were simple and easy to relate to and

could lead people to non-attachment and meaningful life. He infused

in His disciples and devotees a new purpose of human existence. As a

Sadguru He could take away the sufferings of people. Even today He

loves and cares for His devotees as He had promised. We all can feel

that He guides us each and every moment and is with us always.

 

Sai's teachings are very simple to understand, to follow and are

universally relevant, more so now as the world is facing different

kinds of cultural, racial and religious problems. When people are

becoming so dependent on machines, the love and humanity and personal

touch is missing. The basic teaching of Baba was love and respect for

all and each other. Because of fierce competition and stress in the

families and work-life, people are unhappy. A better earning power

for a limited few has created an imbalance in the Nature. People back-

stab each other for their own selfish motives. Even with so many

better amenities available for a better living

 

the quality of life is deteriorating as love for each other is on the

decrease. We all somehow are looking for " Something " different which

we fail to understand and achieve. We are actually striving for

Happiness and that Inner Happiness can be achieved if we follow a

Perfect Master's teachings. Since Baba's teachings are so easy to

understand and follow, and which have proven to lead people to

spiritual upliftment and a better life, Baba's teachings are very

relevant today.

 

Also, Baba had promised that whosoever follows HIS preaching, will be

led to eternal salvation and would find happiness, would never have

dearth of the necessities. And we have all experienced sometime or

the other that Baba has always fulfilled His promises and assurances.

Hence it is only by following Baba' s A Perfect Sadguru's teachings

that this world can be saved of miseries and suffering.

 

If due to my incomplete knowledge of Baba s life I have written

something wrong may Baba and Guruji please pardon me.

 

Baba Said

 

" Those who lovingly sing Baba's fame and those, who hear the same

with devotion, both become one with Sai " .

 

Baba is every where just feel him and keep on saying ‘Om Sai Ram’ to whom so

ever you meet.

is the incarnation of all gods and protector of all, to show mercy on us, and

increase our devotion towards him
