Sathya Sai Baba’s Directives
COLLECTED BY DEBASIS BERA
“You must have observed that I do not mention in any place about your worshipping Sai Baba, on the other hand, I strongly discourage attempts to build temples in my name. I ask people instead to renovate and utilize the existing temples all over the country.
Do not believe if any one comes to you and declares, “Sathya Sai Baba came to me in my dream and commissioned me to do publicity for Him. Please help me, as far as you can”. I do not commission anyone for such work, either in his dream or when he is awake. Such men are Cheats; treat them as such, without mercy”.
-Excerpts from divine discourse at Kakinada, March 26, 1965, Page No 239 SS Speaks Vol. IV (Fourth edition 1975 – Old Edition)
“There are many Swamis and Gurus who go round from place to place with the avowed object of collection money from their devotees. This is a heinous act, especially sanyasins to engage in .
Many persons have also started using My name for the purpose of collecting money for various purposes. If such men come to you, send them back with admonition that they are doing wrong.
I ask for Bhakti, Shraddha, Saadhana (Devotion, Faith and Spiritual Discipline), purification of hearts – this is all. Only beggars ask for money; I will never associate Myself with the temporary, the tarnished, the tawdry and the mean. Then there are some who proclaim that I am “coming upon someone” and speaking through them! They pretend to be My mouthpieces and communicate to others My advice and My suggestions, as if I have ‘authorised’ them or as if I am Myself telling so through them. Now hear this, I never speak through another; I never possess another or use another as a vehicle of expression. I come direct, I come straight, I come as I am, to confer peace and Joy”.
- (Excerpts from Divine discourse at Yelamanchili,Vishakapatnam, on March 27, 1965). Page No 246 SS Speaks Vol. IV (Fourth edition 1975 – Old Edition)
There are quite a few who declare that I am coming “upon them” (!), possessing them rather, and they sway, shake and shiver and say all kind of things, claiming that I am speaking through them or that they are under My influence. They answer questions and ‘foretell’ things and perform many tricks to collect money or things, from people who do not know Me and My reality. All this is sheer deceit; it is a disease that spreading. Do not encourage it; nip it whenever you see cases of people suffering from it. Such people have agents and brokers; scotch them first and their puppets will disappear. They wear the dress of holiness, but greed announces them as vile. People say, Baba appeared to me in a dream and commanded me to do this and that to you to collect so much from you; etc. Do not give heed to such cheats; punish them in the way they deserve. That is the advice I have to give you.
