For aspirants whose intuitive vision is open, this is a time of great
opportunity. The poorna avatar of the Kali Yuga is now incarnate as
Sri Sathya Sai Baba. He has come possessed of the sixteen attributes
and the physical signs foretold in past ages. He manifests the energy
and powers of a superhuman being, yet some observes are still unsure
of his stature. On occasion, he pretends not to know the visitor or
where the visitor comes from, but that is his play. The devotee must
overcome the illusion which blinds him to the magnificent reality.
Since I move about with you, eat like you, and talk with you, you
are deluded into the belief that this is but an instance of common
humanity. Be warned against this mistake, I am also deluding you by
my singing with you, talking with you, and engaging myself in activities
with you. But any moment my divinity may be revealed to you; you have
to be ready, prepared for that moment. Since divinity is enveloped
by humanness, you must endeavor to overcome the maya (delusion) that
hides it from your eyes.
Sathya Sai Speaks 6
In this age, the avatar has come to reestablish righteousness and the
sacred teachings. There is now no single great enemy of humanity; there
is both good and evil in all. And so he comes to educate and uplift
all humanity.
In past ages, avatars rid the world of evil by destroying the few
fanatics and ogres who wrought it. But now fanaticism and felony reign
in every heart …Therefore everyone needs correction; everyone has
to be educated and guided in the right path.
Sathya Sai Speaks 4
Even now the mission moves forward. The message is clear for all to
see. Aspirants need only examine the teachings to benefit from the lesson.
Sathya Sai Baba is the guide and example for the Kali Age. It is up
to each of us to walk the path. Only thus will humanity be saved from
the precipice of disaster.
The way in which the avatar has to be used for one’s liberation and
uplift is watch his every step, observe his actions and activities,
and follow the guiding principle of which his life is an elaboration.
Mark his love, his compassion, and his wisdom; try to bring them into
your own life.
Sathya Sai Speaks 6
By observing the Lord and capturing his grace, we can win the goal
of liberation. The Lord himself will guide us. His task is the deliverance
of those who are ready for liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
If this opportunity is lost, when will another chance come?
The airplane has to land at certain places in order to take in those
who have won the right to fly by the tickets they have purchased.
So, too, the Lord has to come down so that those who have won the
right to be liberated may be saved; incidentally, others too will
know the Lord, of his grace, of ways of winning it, of the joy of
liberation.
Sathya Sai Speaks 4
The avatar has come to light the lamp of love. His words illumine the
heart and soul. But first one small task is required: we must open the
door so that the light and the joy may enter.
The incarnation comes to warn, to guide, and to awaken, to lay down
the path and shed the light of love on it. But man has to listen,
learn, and obey with hope and faith
