SEPARATING THE CHAFF FROM THE KERNEL
by Alexander Pappas from Greece
When Madhusudan first appeared and I heard of him, I read a few of the things and incidences that related to him, and immediately I realised that he was fake. So I tried to protect the Sai devotees around me.
But many devotees in my country [Greece] went after him and then I realised that these devotees were never true devotees. Some of them Swami had sent away from the ashram and organisation. All of them had demonic traits and characteristics like ego, jealousy, anger, conceit, hate, lust and the like. So naturally they followed immediately a fake guru who resembles them. To tell you the truth, I was very happy that they left and do not want them back, unless they become good persons and devotees without demonic traits.
You know, many demon-like devotees were attracted to Swami. It was not because they wanted to become better ego-less persons with good sattvic traits, but because they liked power and pomp. They were attracted to Swami because of His powers and miracles, and they wanted to obtain some of that fame for their own ego reasons. So it was not because they desired to become meek and better persons.

They search for devotees . . . for without them, they are nothing. Mostly they desire their [devotees'] money. They will find many false devotees, for many like to achieve the closeness of a so-called master without doing strenuous sadhana. Just by giving money, they pretend they are spiritual people. Everybody can do as he desires, but Life will give the correct consequences to everyone.
Demonic persons will follow demonic teachers who like money, pomp, and ego fame. So Madhusudan helped to separate the chaff from the kernel.
A lot of so-called devotees were attracted to the Avatar who exhibited many powers over nature. They did not change their minds and become better persons, but continued their lives as they desired, and they expected Swami only to remove the problems they encountered. But Swami wants to reform you. He wants to destroy and change the way of life you had believed in, because it was simply wrong.
A lot of the devotees ran to Madhusudan. You know why? Because they wanted Sai to give them prominence, fame, high positions, money, powers, esteem (which they did not deserve), and Swami was trying to change their mind and attitude.
When Madhusudan came, they ran after him as he promises these abundantly. So they become very ardent devotees because they got what they wanted. But Karma is waiting for them round the next corner and it will be severe and educative.
[In contrast} There was no misconception or misrepresentation for true devotees from the first moment Madhusudan appeared. No real devotee ever turned to him, even in the very beginning. Only deluded ones. But if you are deluded in the jungle of life, such traps and fakes exist everywhere.
So the best way is to armor yourself with truth and discrimination. That is what Sai Baba did all these years to help us protect ourselves from traitors and fake teachers like these who are abundant! So nothing is in danger, for Swami gave us true discrimination. Only the unstable and fake devotees are in danger, but that is to be expected!

LOVE MY UNCERTAINTY FOR IT IS NOT A MISTAKE
If you know Sai literature then you know that nothing happens by chance and luck. Everything happens according to His Will while nothing is by luck and chance.
Swami used to say: Would you give your wallet to keep it safe for some time to a person you don't know or trust, just relying on the words of another. No you won't; you will give it to someone you know very well for a long time and trust in. So you do with everything in your life.
God's Will never permits injustice to happen at any time to anyone in His Drama; to think otherwise is ignorance. That's why God is the personification of Justice. Nobody can save anybody or change anybody but himself. This is an axiom. But to save yourself and change yourself with the help and grace of God is a big achievement.
We cannot stop imitators or bad and ignorant characters who speak ill of Swami and abuse His name. Swami has given limited free will to man to use it accordingly. Turn your mind to God and you can be saved; turn it to the world and you are lost in its jungle. God cannot interfere with your limited individual will.
That is why Swami has said that God is omnipotent; He can change earth into sky and sky into earth. One thing He cannot do is to change the heart of a human being if that person does not allow it. There must be cooperation between the individual soul and God. If that person resists that cooperation, God can do nothing.
So Swami has said that although Jesus had one traitor by the name Judas, I will have thousands. So Swami has said that this thing will happen. It was happening while He was alive also.
While He was alive, on the Internet there were many false and evil allegations against Swami. All this gang of Muddenahalli was very close to Swami [except Madhu] when He was alive. Didn’t He know what was happening and what these guys where up to?

FOLLOW THE TEACHINGS OF THE MASTER
Of course if somebody comes to your doorstep, you will defend Swami's legacy and name in your meetings and the chances that arise in front of you. But to want to do the duty of the Organisation and protect the name of the Avatar worldwide is the duty of the Organisation, and Swami has equipped it very well.
Your duty [as a the devotee] is to protect the legacy and name of Swami during those interactions with people Swami sends to you, as well as with Internet contacts, behaving in a polite manner, irrespective of who listens to you, and no more!
The duty of the Sathya Sai Trust is to protect the Name and Legacy of Swami, as also the various organisations and legal authorities that Sai Baba created for that reason.
The duty of the devotees is to follow the teachings of the Master, to become better persons, to spread spirituality by their good conduct and to inspire the people around them with their discrimination, their truth and good conduct.
