Andhrawishesh.com shares the grief of millions of devotees of the venerable spiritual Guru Sri Satya Sai Baba who is about to complete his mission of spreading love and affection among the sea of humanity on this planet Earth.

As the government and Satya Sai Central Trust are awaiting the moment of the noble soul of the spiritual master to leave his body, one can’t but see the shades of Lord Christ in the Avatara of Baba.

“The difference between Sai Baba and Jesus Christ is that the first is living and his miracles are confirmed by men, whereas the miracles of Jesus are reported in the Bible only. Nevertheless, the behavior and the deeds of both are nearly and often the same,” said Dr. Albert Eckhart in 1968.

Jesus loved people and healed the sick through his miracles and Sai Baba too did the same thing and served the humanity round the clock. Both Jesus and the Baba taught people to love others.

You will never be able to find a difference between the words of Jesus who said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. I and my father are one,” and the words of Sri Satya Sai Baba who said, “My power is immeasurable. My truth is inexplicable, unfathomable. I am beyond the reach of the most intensive enquiry and the most meticulous measurement. There is nothing I do not see, no way do I not know, no problem I cannot solve. My sufficiency is unconditional. I am the totality — all of it”

The kind words of Jesus Christ, “Go ye therefore,and teach all nations” find their echo in the words of Sai Baba, “My mission is for all mankind. I have not come to collect disciples for any particular sect,creed or religion, such as the Hindu religion. I have come to light the lamp of love in the hearts of all humanity.”

Christ respected women and campaigned for their progress and worked to raise their status in society and Satya Sai Baba also respected women and tried to elevate them in their vital role of motherhood. Sai Baba in one of his speeches described women as the ‘custodians of future generations’.

The discourses of Jesus Christ spread across half of the planet Earth and those of Sai Baba had accumulated more than 50 million devotees in a span of four and a half decades having Satya Sai Centres in more than 180 countries.

Christ provided the healing touch with his love and compassion to millions and Sai too did the same thing by his service to millions by establishing schools, colleges, universities, hospitals and providing water to the thirsty in several areas of South India.

We surely and prominently see the shades of Lord Christ in Sri Satya Sai Baba. It is up to you to witness the same or otherwise.
