Message in Kangra on April 25, 2011 :

My blessings to you My children, may you be happy and prosperous. Swami is always with you. Swami’s grace will be maintained upon His each and every devotee. Swami’s blessings will not be abated from anyone. Today everyone knows that Swami has left His body. Satyam Raju Sathya Sai of Puttaparthi has renounced His body. The anticipations of the world- devotees, earthly creatures, little pigeons of Kulwant Hall have culminated. Everyone is thinking that Swami’s form has faded from Puttaparthi. Everyone has grown pensive, or in fact, is becoming nonsensical. Nobody knows what Swami has decided. One can never know Swami’s decision beforehand.

Nevertheless, it is true that Swami has renounced His body. But Swami has not deserted this world, has neither orphaned His devotees, nor had been untrue to His word. Don’t consider just one face of the coin. The rationalization will soon be offered for this. There will come a time when complete truth will be disclosed. Every devotee is pining for the belief that Swami did everything in a hurry. But Swami has not hastened. Swami has completed His age and has bestowed a lot of time upon this world.

Children, accept the truth that Swami is not in His body. But Swami is always there in this world, Swami is in front of you. I never founder My devotees, and today, My devotees are comprehending that I have disappointed them, orphaned them. But there is a reason behind My quietude. Swami has sacrificed Himself to give a new life to this vitality. Swami has done this to save the world. If devotees would have suffered, the world would have questioned about My existence. They would have asked that why did the world suffer if Avatar was here? The motive behind Swami’s departure is to nurture this world afresh of life, love and peace. May you be happy, may everyone’s home and family be blest.

Today, when the situation is of late, everyone is anticipating Swami to be back in His physical body soon. But this is not true. Swami will come back, but in His new Avatar of Premasai. Meanwhile, every question will be answered. Children parted with their Mother will reunite with Her. Avatar has to take care of the unity between the families. Devotees have always prayed to Me for their safeguard. They have prayed to Me to stay with them forever.

How can I leave you unprotected in spite of these prayers? Bear in mind that Swami’s step, His decision, is for the sake of the safety of the world. If Swami had mentioned calamities, no one would have been able to retain their composure. I have always blessed you to be happy and prosperous and today I am again blessing you for the same. The world belongs to God. The future of the world rests on God’s accord. The worldly body was feeble and that is why it retired. Don’t say that I have deserted you, left you, for this agonizes Me. You are abandoning Me, saying that ‘Baba is gone’. I have gone nowhere.

I will always guide you like this. I am your life and soul. I am not mortal. I am God, not physical. I am you and you are Me. Children, I reside in you, I am within you. Is there any place in the world bereft of My presence? I have always made you feel My presence, realize My existence and will always make you feel so in future too. Expunged are those, whom nobody remembers. I am Omkar, I am life.

How can life cease on earth? You are looking at the physical body, weeping for it. But Sai is with you. Avatars like Rama, Krishna, and Shirdi Sai Baba have been in this world. They all have dispensed of Their bodies but They haven’t dispensed of the world. They are existent today and will be existent tomorrow too. Doesn’t another lamp illuminate when one is extinguished?

The glory of Sai will enlighten again. The same lamp of love will be set ablaze again. The same soul will return in a new form in this world. You will have its Darshan. I have gone nowhere, I am right here, in front of you. Close your eyes and open them again. I have come closer to you. My body had some bindings which I had to fulfill. Today I have emancipated from them. I have come closer to you. Today I have become My devotees’ entreaty, their pulse, the ocean of their tears. I have settled into their mind and soul. Today everyone is weeping in front of My photograph. Look, I have even started enlivening lifeless pictures. I have inhabited each and everyone. I have become life. I have become Paramatma. I have diffused everywhere.

Do you wish for a greater miracle? Why should I violate the rules of the world? We know that life can never come to an end and the body never leaves the world. What worldly possessions had I assimilated which I am leaving? My love is in My devotees’ hearts. Their love is My residence. I am immensely grieved. Can you tell me why? The reason being that My own devotees have declared Me bereft of life. I have gone, I have orphaned them, everyone feels the same. Nevertheless, I will make everyone feel of My life, feel My verve, realize My essence. I am alive. I have not gone anywhere. I am here right beside you. I departed in My 86th year but I had to depart in My 96th year either. Nothing happens before its stipulated time without a rationale. I have left My body for a cause.

Wipe away your tears. Don’t contempt My teachings. I have renounced My body. When a person suffers from physical pain, physical disability, physical suffering, they pray to God to take them away, to relieve them. Howbeit the Formless does not suffer. You just see the physical world. Would you have been able to watch My state after My recovery? I have renounced My body because it was necessary to do so. You have to realize that Swami is not there physically in Puttaparthi. But Swami was always there in Puttaparthi and forever will be. He will be before your eyes. I will go to each and every devotee of Mine. I will personally guard them. Each and every devotee was calling Me to themselves. I will go to My devotees now. I will guard them, that is My duty.

I am Formless, I am Omkar. Omkar never perishes. I am present in all the colours, all the shades. I am present in every constituent of the body. On the day when I will have gone, the world will turn colourless, music will be tuneless, soulless, the rivers will fall silent and lose their tranquillity, and the wind will no more be pleasant and serene, instead it will be dry, the trees will shed their leaves, the sun and the moon will bereave the world of their presence. What will remain? Nothing. And this can never happen. Then tell Me, can I go anywhere else?

The prayers of my devotees brought me to Puttaparthi. On November 23, 1926 Swami entered this world to illuminate it. I will emanate the same light in future too. My word will never turn out to be untrue. You will realize yourself whatever I had said. As committed, I will stay here till 96 years of age. No one will feel orphaned, or deserted. No one will feel my absence. Today you are mourning my body. I will become your vision as I fade. I will become your family. Time cannot be felt. Time is abstract. ‘Today’ will become ‘yesterday’ and ‘tomorrow’ will become ‘today’. ‘Tomorrow’ never comes. Its always stands before us as ‘today’. We sleep at night, anticipating ‘tomorrow’ but, it always comes as ‘today’. Same situation is with Me. You will continue to move in search of tomorrow and I will continue guiding you on your path.

I am Omkar, I am Formless. You think that I have left. Even if you comprehend my departure, I cannot say that I can go anywhere else. The world belongs to Sai. Is there anything which does not belong to Baba? Your prayed to Swami for Darshan during Bhajans. This will not cease. Even if I would not be visible, I will reside in your soul, and flow out of your eyes as your emotion. But I will doubtlessly come. If you cannot watch Me in this state, close your eyes. You will see me full of ardor and verve. I am Parabrahma. The matters of this world can never come to an end. Don’t say anything because you neither realize these things yesterday, nor will you do today. My life is My message. Life is a game, play it. Love all, serve all.

I am God, you are God. The more you try to conceive Sai, the more you will be confounded. That is why, don’t fall into a quandary. All these are My messages given to you in my life. What have you learnt from My life? You saw Me blossoming throughout. How much have you seen Me being true to My word of ‘Love all, serve all’? How much is the extent of the truth of ‘You are God, I am God’? Listen- you have received one homily from My life and that is- the body can part with you at any moment. The sufferings of an Avatar can be experienced by you too. So it is better for you to always be in lee of God. Sufferings have to be borne. Dedicate your each and every action to God. You don’t know when your body will surrender to whom.

The river of My love has always flowed to you. I have loved and served. Love others, realize benevolence and don’t waste your life in worthless things. The message of My life cannot be accommodated in this book. But you all know that the game of life has to be played without having blind faith on the body. I have always come to this world in different forms. You have come after Me. I have originated from the universe. I can never perish. Swami is always with you. You have become ignorant to the love you received from Me, the blessings you received from Me and you are just clamoring that Swami had said 96 years. Nevertheless, questions will never come to an end. The originator of questions has to answer them too.

Why do you get disheartened? It will be Me who will answer all the questions. Just be patient and wait. There is no need to mourn Swami. If you weep, it will be your defeat. If you cry, your word will be defeated. If you cry, your devotion will be defeated. If you cry, you will be defeated. When you will realize that Swami is your soul, Swami is your respiration , your vision, your sight, you will be happy. Convince yourself that I am inside you and have come deeper. I have arrived right inside your soul. This is a cause for celebration, not mourning.

I am Sai, Sathya Sai. Birth and death are decided by Me alone. Whatever Avatar says or does, it is only for the welfare of the universe. I am born only for your welfare and only for your well- being, I have created all this worldly ‘maya’ solely for your welfare. I am with you. Don’t forget the love you have received from Me. Don’t forget the gusto you received from Me. The brain and the world are the originators of questions. Questions will never end. Many questions are new. They will arise now. I am always there to answer them. I no longer need My body to perform My duties. I am always with you.
