The Great Dictator or Director .....?

People ask me, “Why are you presenting yourself in a shabby and callous fashion and why do you involve in things which make the world call you half mad?” There are some strategic thoughts involved in this careful maintenance of shabby, callous and half mad outlook. Number one, I got relived of the great burden of outer expectations. That gives me a dark horse or underdog image whenever something useful to the world is delivered. Secondly I acquired freedom to do or not to do anything and everything the way I wish to without having to give much explanations to anybody. This really helps me very much to pursue my experiments with Divinity my own style without much of hindrances and oppositions from the world. Recently my brother in law questioned the credibility of Sri Sathya Sai Baba in Puttaparthi citing a programme shown in Kairali TV few months back. It was a video more than 15 years old in which Sathya Sai Baba created a chain and gave to somebody. According to the channel it was trickery. They said that the chain was handed over to Sai Baba by some other body. I did a very careful observation at it in replay. Though the TV people spotted a point where the chain is kept, it could not have been said for sure that there was something. But then, yes, You also could not have negated the assumption that there was something being handed over. I would say it was rather an area of suspicion. Then I asked my beloved Athmavidya what She has to say about this? Then words started flowing from Her. She asked me, “What do you think is the core of Sathya Sai philosophy?” I said, “Supremacy of Spirit over Man”. Then She said, “It is not just the Supremacy but it is the Dictatorship of God over Man. ie The God is the Master and others and this world are not any assistants but mere instruments in Thy Hand.” She added again, “Do not be under any kind of illusion that God is an orderly to your Victorian concepts of Value system. God is Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient and It can act the way It Will. It can bring in Tsunamis, Rains, Floods, Droughts, Diseases, Poverty, Hunger, Deaths along with Happiness, Richness, Beauty, Fulfillment and what not? It can elevate or demote anybody or anything, anytime according to Its Will and Wish. It can cheat or bless the way It want. The God may show something that you may understand and He may also show many things that you may not understand. It may show what you call, Magic and also Miracles for which you shall not have any so called scientific explanations. That is its "Maya" or "Leela" or what you can call the 'Greatest Illusion'. You are not supposed to get trapped in it. You need not try to teach God what to do and what not to do, cause She/He know for best what is the action or scene most suitable for the moment. Know that Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba in Puttaparthi are Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient incarnation of God. For the time being you just try to Experience, Believe and Live in that Divinity." "As Sri. Aurobindo put forward years back, "It is not the 'Survival of the Fittest' theory but it is the 'Survival All' theory that works in this illusionary World". Everything that Began from Divinity shall End up in Divinity only. It's a Great Zero sum Game. The only difference is that the Luckier reach the Destination faster and the less fortunate a bit slower, may be more cycles of births and deaths. Anyway Everyone shall reach that Ultimate Destination Finally. The difference is only in the pace in which different people move. And also remember that you are not the judge for, at what pace who is moving and who is ahead and who is last? At any point of time the first can be last and the last can be first. That depends upon the Lord's Will carried out by 'Prakrithi' or 'Maya' or what you may call, this illusionary World" “So stop worrying about what is shown in Kairali TV, or for that matter anything happening around in this Dramatic World. Just enjoy this Great Cosmic Divine Drama and be one of the best instruments in the Hands of that Great Dictator cum Director. You need not try and assist God in any manner, but just be an instrument in Thy Hand. He who control this whole Cosmic Divine Drama know for best what to do, what not to do, when to do and where to do. So do not question and just do, what you have been asked to.”
