This is where it gets interesting...
I have not been and do not wish to be so arrogant as to compare myself
with God
Yet there are times when, as I look back, it appears that God has
acted through me or used me as a tool, and that fills me, not with
arrogance but with humility.
There have been times too when I think I have seen God acting through
another person, and have been filled with joy rather doubt or scorn.
If I were to meet one who appears to be human and yet radiates
goodness, I would not be so arrogant as to imagine that I could tell
the difference between God and His manifestation as a man.
To me, the important question is not whether Sai Baba is God or not.
The only thing that matters is what good I derive from knowing or
reading about him. And following his teachings.
If he finds it necessary to tell some people that he is God and to
others that he is not, he must have his reasons. I cannot imagine that
investigating these things or proving him right or wrong will benefit
me in any important way.
Peace.
