Question
3
Are Baba
and Jesus the Same? (27.10.2002)
Here is one question: “I am a
follower of Jesus Christ. Are Baba and Jesus the same? Or is this
form the Christian concept of the Trinity?”
The answer is simple. Bhagavan said,
“All names are Mine. All forms are Mine. I respond to your prayers
that are offered to Me in any name, in any form. I’ll answer your
prayers. Let the prayers be said to the God of your choice; they
will reach Me. You may pray to Rama, Krishna, Jesus or
Allah - all those prayers will reach Me.”
“Swami, how? When I say Rama, how
does it reach You?”
Swami gave this example: “You may
write a letter to somebody in England or USA or Delhi or
Hyderabad. When the letter is put in the letterbox or post box, it
will reach the addressee. Similarly all your prayers come to Me.
Don’t worry, because I am in all forms. All forms are Mine. All
names are Mine,” said Bhagavan. Jesus is no exception.
I’ll give you one instance. A doctor
from Rome came here as a participant and delegate for the
International Cardiac Conference held in Prashanti Nilayam.
Catholicism is very rigid, very strict. He was doing his daily
prayer to Jesus and going through the scriptures. He was given
accommodation in the North buildings. One day before dinner, while
he was reading the scripture and meditating on Jesus Christ,
suddenly he noticed a hand lying on his shoulder. He looked back
and saw Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.
Now he says, “Baba and Christ are
one and the same. This I declare at the cost of my reputation, at
the cost of my Catholic faith. My relatives and friends may
forsake me, but I declare that Baba and Christ are one and the
same.”
Baba is the Cosmic Christ. Bhagavan
is everyone for that matter, Sarva Devata Swarupa. He
represents all deities, all gods -- that is the answer I can give
you.”
