The
mission of Sai Baba is self-allotted and springs from the source of His
free and redeemed Spirit. He willed Himself a body because He wanted to
fulfil a mission of awakening man to his true self and divine nature. He
wanted to lead them to salvation by saving them from delusion and
ignorance. He stands there eternally to help out and give solace to His
children who are bruised with the miseries of this world through the
passage of centuries. Thus His sacred mission is to awaken, elevate,
transform and comfort His children. These are the visible acts of Baba.
But, He also had a much bigger role to play in the administration of the
Universe - in its creation, sustenance and destructions. He saw God in
every living being. It was His duty to take
the created to the creator - i.e. to evolve human beings to the
state of God - which is their real self. (Guruji Shri C. B. Satpathy)
It is amazing that though
He is not present in body, ever increasing number of people hear and
experience the same blessed, intimate and powerful assurance – ‘’
