I honestly do not know how and why Sai came into my
life. I still state even today that should Sai have
come into my life any other time except that which he
did, I may not have accepted him.
Anyway, I
have been on the spiritual quest since I was born.
That does sound like an exaggeration I know, but
really, I have been attracted to God since I opened my
eyes, and used to spend hours staring at His pictures.
You understand I mean pictures of the Hindu
deities.
It's too long to go into detail, but suffice to say I
experimented with various ideas, and just when I was on the
point of converting to Christianity, Sai made His
advent in my life and thus saved me.
He helped me
rediscover my own religion, as he himself teaches us to be a
better person of our own religion. Be a better Hindu, be
a better Muslim, etc.
I do accept Him as
God. Why? Well it's really hard to explain. Anyone who
receives information about his miracles, etc, will
naturally be attracted, but I think the realisation that
"He is God" comes through a totally personal and
individual set of circumstances.
Many people believe
that he is God for a variety of reasons. Even today
many people regard him as no more than a "holy
man."
My own realisation happened like this: I had heard
various stories of his miracles, like stopping natural
disasters, raising people from death, etc, and I soon
realised that this person was indeed performing "God-like"
miracles. But the question still remained in the back of my
mind, 'WHO is he? Is he God? Or just a holy man with
great powers?'
Soon enough, I received a
magazine which contained the various prophecies predicting
Sai's advent, and that did it for me. There was really
no turning back. Since I have a scholarly
background, I know that it is a fact that whenever Avatars
appear, there MUST be prior indication in scriptures.
Since Sai Baba was predicted in not only Hindu
scriptures, but in the other scriptures of the world also,
well, WOW!
Sorry I haven't been able to go into
much detail because I really must hurry home. Feel
free to ask further questions. :)
