Prema Sai Baba. The Mystery of God. Part One - Святослав Игоревич Дубянский Страница 17

In accordance with this principle, Sathya Sai Baba never went to Shirdi, the area where he lived as Shirdi Sai Baba in his previous birth. Prema Sai Baba refuses to go to Puttaparthi and Shirdi, the places where he lived in past incarnations.

The reason for such strange behavior is quite understandable, for not all Shirdi Sai devotees recognized Sathya Sai. In the same way, not all Shirdi Sai and Sathya Sai devotees accept the current incarnation of God as Prema Sai Baba. In order not to create difficulties for people who do not accept him, he does not visit the ashrams founded by him in previous incarnations.

At present, Prema Sai Baba does not go to his previous ashrams. Obviously, we cannot guarantee that Prema Sai Baba will never visit Shirdi and Puttaparthi. Everything can change; everything is in his hands.

19. Knowing the truth

How can we be sure that this divine boy from the village of Doddamallur is Prema Sai Baba? Logical proof is useless and cannot help. Logic, reason and intellect cannot understand God. Logic cannot prove or disprove that this boy is a divine incarnation.

Only the spiritual heart of the devotees can feel the presence of God. How can you prove that Krishna was the incarnation of the god, Vishnu? How can you prove that the Buddha attained enlightenment? How can you prove that Jesus Christ was the Messiah? It is impossible to understand it logically; it is only possible to feel it.

During the life of the Buddha those who wanted to logically understand his spiritual state could not understand and realize his greatness. Those who at the time of Jesus Christ wanted to receive logical evidence he was the Messiah could not accept and recognize him. Only those who have been able to open their spiritual heart can recognize the divine incarnation. So it was in antiquity and so it is now.

In ancient Jerusalem, the Jews worshiped the One God, but only a part of them recognized the incarnation of the Messiah. When studying ancient Vedic texts such as the Mahabharata and the Bhagavatam, we read stories of how sometimes people worshiped God, but denied the divinity of Krishna, who was right in front of them.

I tell all the stories about the events as a direct witness and participant. The authenticity of my stories is obvious, but I fully understand that miracles cannot be proof of the divine origin of this child.

Supernatural abilities can manifest within many yogis and people with paranormal abilities. If someone demonstrates clairvoyance, levitation and materialization, and can also heal the sick with the power of their energy, this does not mean this person is the incarnation of God.

What then can be proof of the divinity of this or that candidate for Prema Sai Baba? The real evidence is the vibration of divine love, the grace and experience of the Holy Spirit.

Even now, in the presence of the boy Prema Sai Baba people experience divine states, spiritual bliss, and a state of universal divine love. From the age of five, tens of thousands of devotees around the world felt Prema Sai Baba was the incarnation of God.

During Sathya Sai Baba’s lifetime, he said that not all devotees would be able to recognize and accept his next incarnation as Prema Sai Baba. That is exactly what is happening. The fact is that not everyone more devoted to Shirdi Sai Baba was able to accept Sathya Sai Baba, the same is already happening with Prema Sai Baba.

20. Manifestations of God

In the ashram of Sathya Sai Baba, most of the people are Indian and Russian-speaking devotees from different countries. From the very beginning, the history of Prema Sai Baba has also been closely connected with Russia. More and more devotees from Russia came to visit Prema Sai Baba after he turned three years old.

Living permanently in the home of Prema Sai Baba, I have observed the flow of people who also have come from many other countries in Europe, Asia, North and South America.

Presently, there is intense discussion about how to understand who is Prema Sai Baba? I think those who’ve already learned it should be careful in preaching the truth, because those around them may not accept the truth at the moment. Everything should happen naturally and gradually as everyone progresses at their own pace.

For those people who strongly deny Prema Sai Baba, I can only advise them to be more careful, because out of ignorance one can start to deny God. If they still do not feel an inner spiritual connection with Prema Sai Baba, then one must continue to live a righteous and honest life and engage in meditation and prayer.

For some, God is associated with the form of a divine teacher of humanity, such as Krishna, Buddha, Jesus Christ, Sathya Sai Baba. For others, God is an impersonal consciousness; in which case, it is appropriate to use such names of God as Brahman, Atman, Tao, Absolute, Jehovah, Spirit.

There are many religious people who perceive God through forms of the Mother Goddess, such as the Mother of God or the Christian wisdom goddess, Sophia.

There are many goddesses that people revere as a form of God, such as: Saraswati, Lakshmi, Kali, Durga, Shakti. In Hinduism, there are at least two great traditions where God is associated with the Mother Goddess. These traditions are called Shaktism and Sri Vidya.

In fact, God is beyond duality. We humans may well perceive God in more understandable forms and manifestations. Some see him as Father God or Mother Goddess.

For others, God may appear in form and name or out of form and name. There are common approaches to perceiving God as the supreme personality or as an impersonal cosmic principle. All options are equally true.

We must learn to respect each other and accept that different
