Sathya Sai Baba, 1926 - 2011 - por Shri.B.Aravind .
Los detractores dicen que el 'juego de manos' y 'trucos de magia "le ganó seguidores que eran crédulos e ingenuos. Los devotos dicen que las manifestaciones físicas, "le ganaron acérrimos críticos, que estaban tan ciegos y duros de corazón que se negaron a ver a los millones de vidas que afectaba positivamente.
La vida y la historia de Sri Sathya Sai Baba, parece recordarnos a un árbol cargado de frutas, que siempre recibe piedras. Mientras que algunas piedras fueron lanzadas para disfrutar y saborear los dulces frutos, algunos fueron expulsados, ya que parece muy tentador en ese momento!
Por supuesto, no puede ser aceptado como un profeta. ¿Qué religión se le designaría? Él sólo reunió a la humanidad bajo los principios de la hermandad del hombre y la paternidad de Dios. En un mundo que está al borde del desastre religioso debido a los fanáticos, exhortó a un hindú a ser un mejor hindú, un musulmán a ser un mejor musulmán y un cristiano, para ser un mejor cristiano. El símbolo que él diseñó para representar a la organización, contaba con representaciones de todas las grandes religiones del mundo.
Todos, desde los monjes tibetanos a los eruditos islámicos, los expertos hindúes a los padres cristianos, a los gurús sijs y predicadores budistas lo visitaron y fueron recibidos con gusto, y con amor por sus seguidores. Ellos se sorprendieron con el profundo conocimiento de su religión, y a menudo admiraban los conocimientos que proporcionaban.
El 'Vahini ", serie de libros del que Sai fue autor, transmitió las más grandes verdades espirituales en términos sencillos y prácticos , todo lo que uno tiene que hacer es escoger una y leerlo! .
Pero aún así, ¿cómo puede ser un profeta, cuando no se ha iniciado una nueva religión?
El mundo lo venera por sus enormes proyectos de bienestar social - sistemas de agua potable, hospitales de súper especiales y la educación superior gratuita. Los críticos también reconocen este hecho, mientras el desfile de seguidores queda como prueba de su divinidad. Y en eso, ambos parecen perder el punto. Sathya Sai Baba nunca creyó en algunos edificios para hacer del mundo un lugar mejor, él creía en las ideas.
Las escuelas y las universidades fueron el resultado de las ideas, de que la educación es un proceso que se lleva a cabo dentro de lo que ya está latente en el individuo. Y ese tesoro latente es amor, verdad, rectitud, paz, comprensión y compasión, los que se inculcaron a todos los estudiantes para hacerlos patentes. El Sathya Sai Grama Seva o servicio del pueblo, donde cada estudiante durante una semana va a las aldeas para la distribución de alimentos y ropa, se instituyó, no tanto para servir a los pobres, sino para empaparse de las ideas, el espíritu y la alegría del servicio, en el estudiante. El rector de la Universidad, siempre aconsejo a los estudiantes a obtener un buen nombre para ellos mismos, sus padres y su Alma Mater.

Él les dijo que habían recibido una buena educación sin cargo, porque la educación es derecho de nacimiento, de cada uno y es no necesario estar agradecido de ello. Sin embargo, la gratitud, sin embargo, se convirtió en una parte de la vida de cada estudiante, como fue la perpetuación de este servicio.
Los hospitales y proyectos de agua surgieron porque sentía que el cuidado del agua y médicos estaban entre las necesidades primordiales de las personas. No deben ser una adquisición costosa. Mucho se ha escrito acerca de estos proyectos, pero muy poco se ha dicho acerca de cómo quería que la gente bebiera ese espíritu de servicio y amor. "Cuando una espina pincha el pie, la mano se dirige automáticamente a sacarla sin sentir que está ayudando a los pies. Así es como el servicio tiene que ser representado. "
Y, sin embargo, dicen que se rodeó de los ricos, lo popular y la élite! Esa forma de hablar sólo muestra que las personas que lo cometen, no se han tomado la molestia de visitarlo aunque sea una vez. Si sus interacciones con los pobres, el sufrimiento y el abandono no se conocen, es sólo porque no han prestado atención .

La visita de Sachin Tendulkar para rendirle homenaje, fue malinterpretada a través de los medios de comunicación en todas sus formas, pero no vemos ninguna mención del proyecto de vivienda masiva que hizo para las víctimas de las inundaciones de Orissa, o los programas integrados Village que trazó para las regiones tribales de Oriente y Occidente del Godavari en Andhra Pradesh.
Y cuando se trataba de la pregunta, "¿Quién eres tú? ¿Eres Dios? ", Su respuesta siempre era:" Descubre quién eres tu . Y te darás cuenta de que tú también eres Dios.
Y cuando se trataba de la pregunta, "¿Quién eres tú? ¿Eres Dios? ", Su respuesta siempre era:" Descubre quién eres tu . Y te darás cuenta de que tú también eres Dios.
"Divinidad no se hace, se es, y tiene que ser aceptada por la gente. Seamos honestos y justos. Si alguno de nosotros reclama la divinidad, ascendiendo a un púlpito, cual sera el número de seguidores que tenemos, en digamos, 80 años a partir de ahora?
Comenzando como un niño pobre en un pueblo propenso a la sequía, que no había oído el sonido de un vehículo de motor, ha tener millones de seguidores en todo el mundo, es un logro.
Tiró sus libros de historia un día y hoy, él ha entrado en los libros de historia. Pero siempre empujo al pueblo diciendo: "Todos ustedes son Dios. simplemente no son conscientes de ello ".
"En las generaciones futuras serán escasos los que crean que una persona como esta, en carne y hueso, caminó sobre esta tierra.".
"En las generaciones futuras serán escasos los que crean que una persona como esta, en carne y hueso, caminó sobre esta tierra.".
Fue lo que dijo Einstein de Mahatma Gandhi. Las historias increíbles de la gracia de Sathya Sai es tal que incluso cuando caminaba sobre la tierra, la gente encontró difícil de creerlas. Muchos llegaron, y vieron con sus propios ojos, experimentando en su propio ser y lo aceptaron como su Señor. No obstante, algunos optaron por quedarse en sus propias pequeños mundos, felices de la crítica mordaz. "¿Por qué estudiar algo que es imposible? "parece ser el teorema.
"Cuando algo es imposible, incluso si millones hablan en términos elogiosos sobre él, tiene que ser falso y todo el mundo debe estar loco", es el corolario automático!
No hay ninguna diferencia entre el detractor y devoto, cuando se trata de su pasión, intensidad y creencia. Esta es una diferencia importante sin embargo. Mientras que los informes de citas antiguas, periódicos, artículos y relatos, son escritos para enfatizar la crítica, este último sólo hablaba de la profunda convicción que nace de la experiencia personal! .

Y que muestra por qué a algunos parece sonarles a todo volumen, y hacer exclamaciones, mientras que el otro parece fundirse en el silencio, cuando se enfrentan. La justificación de la cabeza no parece ganar impulso suficiente para dominar a la convicción del corazón!
Y es por eso, que aquellos que lo han experimentado en sus corazones se niegan a aceptar que él haya "muerto". Para ellos, él vive para siempre y reciben orientación y ayuda cuando lo necesitan. Ellos no tienen dudas en eso y no ven la necesidad de convencer a nadie de ello. Ese es el poder de los que lo han observado y experimentado. Recuerdo a Albert Einstein, cuando se burlaban de su propuesta del efecto fotoeléctrico. Cuando la ciencia hubo evolucionado a lo largo de un siglo para demostrar que la luz es una onda y no una partícula, allí había alguien considerado un genio, que basa su efecto en la premisa de que la luz era una partícula! El efecto fotoeléctrico que le dio , en 190, ganar el premio Nobel en 1921.
Cuando la teoría y la experimentación parecen estar en conflicto con la observación y la experiencia, no debemos ir con la experiencia?

Sathya Sai Baba 1926 - 2011 - by Shri.B.Aravind.
The detractors say that ‘sleight of hand’ and ‘magic tricks’ won him followers who were gullible and naive. The devotees say that ‘physical manifestations’ earned him die-hard critics who were so blind and hard-hearted that they refused to see the millions of lives he positively affected.
The life and history of Sri Sathya Sai Baba seems to remind one of the proverbial tree laden with fruit - it always receives stones. While some stones were cast to enjoy and relish the sweet fruits, some were cast because it seems so tempting to just do it!
Of course, he cannot be accepted as a prophet. What religion did he establish? He just brought together humanity under the principles of the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of god. In a world that stands on the brink of religious disaster due to self-centered zealots, he exhorted a Hindu to be a better Hindu, a Muslim to be a better Muslim and a Christian to be a better Christian. The symbol that he designed to represent the organisation had representations from all the major religions of the world.
Everyone from the Tibetan Monks to the Islamic scholars, Hindu pundits to Christian fathers, Sikh gurus to Buddhist preachers visited him and were received warmly with love by his followers. They were amazed with his deep understanding of their religion and often admired the insights he provided. The ‘Vahini’ series of books that he authored convey the greatest spiritual Truths in easy and practical terms - all one has to do is to pick one and read it! But still, how can he be a
prophet when he did not start a new religion?
The world credits him for his massive social welfare projects - drinking water schemes, super specialty hospitals and free higher education. The critics also acknowledge that fact while the followers parade it as proof of his divinity. And in that, both seem to miss the point. Sathya Sai Baba never believed in a few buildings (however big or grand) making the world a better place as he believed in a few ideas.
The schools and university were a result of the idea that Education is a process of bringing out from within what is already latent in an individual. And that latent treasure is love, truth, right conduct, peace, understanding and compassion which he exhorted every student to make patent. The Sathya Sai Grama seva or village service, where every student spends a week going to villages distributing food and clothes, was instituted not so much to serve the poor but to imbibe the idea, spirit and joy of service in the student. As the chancellor of the University, he always advised the students to get a good name for
themselves, their parents and their Alma Mater. He told them that they had received good education without a fee because education is everyone’s birthright and they need not feel grateful about it. But the gratitude, however, became a part of every student’s life as he/she went about perpetuating this service.
The hospitals and water projects arose because he felt that water and medical care were people’s right. They should not be a costly purchase. Much has been written about these projects but very little has been said about how he wanted people to imbibe the spirit of service and love. “When a thorn pricks the foot, the hand automatically goes to remove it without feeling that it is helping the foot. That is how service has to be rendered.”
And yet, they say that he surrounded himself with the rich, the popular and the elite! Such talk only shows that people indulging in it have not bothered to visit him even once. If his interactions with the poor, the suffering and the helpless are not known, it is only because attention has not been drawn to them. Sachin Tendulkar’s visit to pay homage to him was splashed across media in every form but we see no mention of the massive housing project that he made for the
flood victims of Orissa or the Village Integrated programmes he charted for the tribal regions of East and West Godavari in Andhra Pradesh.
And when it came to the question, “Who are you? Are you God?”, his reply always was, “Find out who you are. You will realize that you too are God.” Godhood is not donned, it has to be accepted by people. Let us be honest and fair. If any of us claim godhood by ascending a pulpit, how many followers will we have in, say, 80 years from now? Starting as a poor boy in a drought-prone village that had not heard the sounds of a motor vehicle, having millions of followers world-wide
is some achievement. He threw away his history books one day and today, he has entered history books. But when it came to Godhood, he always thrust back Godhood on the people saying, “You are all God. you just are not aware of it" , reminiscent of “God you think, God you are; Dust you think, dust you are” isn't it?
“Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth.” was what Einstein said of Mahatma Gandhi. The amazing stories of grace of Sathya Sai are such that even when he walked upon the earth, people found it hard to believe. Many came, saw with their own eyes, experienced in their own beings and accepted him as their Lord. Some however chose to stay in their own little coops, happy to heap scathing criticism. “Why explore
something that is impossible?” seems to be the theorem. “When something is impossible, even if millions speak in glowing terms about it, it must be false and everyone must be crazy” is the automatic corollary!
There is no difference between the detractor and devotee when it comes to his/her passion, intensity and belief.There is one major difference however. While the former quotes reports, newspapers, articles and written accounts to emphasize the criticism, the latter only speaks of deep conviction born from personal experience! And that shows why one seems to blare louder to make a point while the other seems to melt into silence when confronted. The rationale of the head never seems to gather enough momentum to overpower the conviction of the heart!
And that is why, those that have experienced him in their hearts refuse to accept that he has ‘died’. For them, he lives on forever and they receive guidance and help whenever they need. They have no doubts in that and they see no need to convince anyone else about it. That is the power of what one has observed and experienced. Reminds one of Albert Einstein when he was scoffed at his proposal of the photoelectric effect. When science had evolved over a century to prove that light was a wave and not a particle, here was someone considered a genius who based his effect on the premise that light was a particle! The photoelectric effect which he gave in 1905 won the Nobel prize in 1921.
When theory and experiment seem to clash with observation and experience, should we not go with the experience?
