TheAdventofSathyaSaiBaba

Hewasbornin1926andnamedSathyaNarayana

Raju.

Inchildhood,Hewaslikedbyeveryone,because

He was always kind, forgiving all offences from

playmates, never requiting evil with evil. Andmoreinschool,Heentertainedotherpupilsbygiv

ing themsweets,whichHe tookoutfromanappar

entlyemptybag,materializingthem.

At the age of 14, He told His parents that He

wouldnotgo toschoolanymore,becauseHeknew

everything.And thatHewas a reincarnationof the

wellknownMuslimsaint,SaiBaba(BabameansFa

ther inSanskrit), from theplace calledShirdi.And

thatHewanted to leaveHisparentshome inorder

todedicateHislifetohelpingpeople,preachingthe

TruthaboutGodandabouttheWayofattainmentof

theHighestFreedominMergencewithHim.

His years of childhood and adolescence are de

scribed in detail in a remarkable book of Samuel

Sandweiss [4]; everyone interested can find this in

formation there. I onlywant to notice, in order to

helpyouunderstandthecontentofthisbookbetter,

thatSathyaSaiBaba, living in theshaivisticpartly

pagan environment,didnot oppose it.On the con

trary,He supportedpeoples faithbymaterializing,

forexample,attributesoftheshaivisticsymbolism.

All preaching activity of Sathya Sai Baba includesdemonstrationofmiraclesbyHim.

In the followingyears,Heconvertedadultathe

ists to believers, for example, by materializing in

frontof them, sittingat the table, thedisheswhich

wereorderedmentallybyeachoneofthem.

Andnow,materializationofvariousobjects isa

part of everyday activity of Sathya Sai Baba, by

WhoIsSathyaSaiBaba?

Hisbodyisofmediumheight;Hisskinisdarkas

typical of all Indians; He wears orange monastic

robes.A

of

His

is

a

But this is just His body, just a tiny part of

SathyaSaiBaba

In reality,He is completelydifferent.He is the

OceanicUniversalConsciousnessconnectedwiththe

Divine Flame,which rises above the surface of the

Earth for kilometers1. The tongues of this Flame

Thepurposeof this seclusionwasmeditative train

selves from this trainingby seeking food,He gavethem a jug inwhich they could find enough food

materialized byHim every day.Whatwas in their

menu? Rice, vegetables, beans, fruit, juices, and

before night (before going to bed) everyone had a

In particular, there are deeply fallen, degraded

souls,who like to do evil. They can do evil even

withoutany

reward.

This

is

their

nature:

they

are

like

amoth thatgnawsand tears thingsnomatterwhat

theyare;itequallygnawsaragandanexpensivesari

[8].

But even such people are used by God in the

general process of the Evolution of consciousness.

Fromtheir

example,

other

people

can

learn

not

to

be

like them and thus can know both good and evil.

And theywillbeable,bypushing themselvesaway

from evil, towalk thePath of good towardPerfec

tion, towardMergencewithGod.Oneshouldknow

both:whatkindofpersononemustnotbeandwhat

EvilpeopleareusedbyGodalsoforcorrectionof

the development of true sadhakas (spiritualwarri

ors).Inparticular,inthiswayGodremindssadhakas

about the approachingdeath, and this allows them

notto

relax

excessively

on

the

Path.

Death and God are the most important land

marksforallincarnatepeople,saysSathyaSaiBaba.

Evilpeopledoom themselves tohellandsuffer

ing in thenext incarnations.However, they, too,are

given a chance for salvation: to reform and repent.

Truth isuselessandbecomes thestinkingabodeof

However,SathyaSaiBabanotes that all ethical

teachings canbe expressed in one short formula of

Vyasa:Help4ever,hurtnever!.

Theultimate taskofeachmanconsists incogni

tion of the Higher Self, which is the Atman, Pa

ramatman, the Creator. But for this purpose the

lowerself,whichmanifestsitselfasegocentrismand

whichis

created

by

the

mind,

must

be

eliminated.

Themind in this context is a part of the con

sciousnesscapturedbyearthlydesires.

Desires are not thoughts. Thoughts become de

sireswhentheysubmergedeeplyintoobjects.

Inmost cases people are unhappy because of

Sathya Sai Baba, as we have seen already, is

againstcasualsexualrelationships,againstbeingob

sessedwith sex. ButHe supportsmarriage, family

life,includingupbringingofchildren.Marriagealso

helps washing out the primitive lower self, be

cause family life is favorable for transformation of

theIintowe.

Marriage and karma yoga teach one to care for

others.Inthatway,theabilitytotakecaregrows;this

The furtherprogress in that field is ensuredby

meditativetechniqueswhichwashoutallremaining

ButSathyaSaiBabawarns that one shouldnot

trustvariousgurusonlyon thegrounds that they

proclaimed themselvesaguru.Hesays thatarealguruistheonewhoknowsGodandcanleadpeople

toHim.Butsuchpeopleareveryfew.Anyway,itis

muchbetterwhenyourguruisGod.

Sathya Sai Baba also very precisely points out

thatmeditative training is notmeant for everyone.

People differ between themselves by the age of

souls, first of all. For young and immature souls

meditative trainingmaybedestructive.Notallpeo

plecanevencomprehendwhatmeditationis.Forex

ample, dreamlikemental images, such as flying to

otherplanets,areawrongandharmfulpractice[2].

easytofallintoIt,dissolveinIt,becomeIt[8].

Butsucha levelofthemeditativework isacces

sibleonly forvery few successfuldisciplesofGod.

ForbeginnersSathyaSaiBaba recommends thefol

lowing series ofmeditative trainingwhich for sure

cannotharmanyone[2andothers]:

Light a candle. Remember its image verywell.

God

Mastering each element of thismeditationmaytakemuch time.But it isastraightPath toward the

cognitionofGodandMergencewithHim.

Ifone includes in thismeditationaFiery Image

ofSathyaSaiBabaorof anyotherDivineTeacher,

thensuchworkwillbemuchmoreeffective.

OneofpeoplesproblemsisthattheydonotlistentoGod,butlistentovariousfalsepastors,gurus,
