Saints’ Mission:
The purpose or object of Divine Incarnation is to protect the good and destroy the wicked. But the mission of the Saints is quite different. To them the good and the wicked are the same.
First they feel for the evil-doers and set them on the right path. They are like the Agasti (Tamil Saint) to destroy the Bhava-sagar (the ocean of worldly existence) or like the Sun to the darkness of ignorance. The Lord (God) dwells in the Saints. In fact they are not different from Him.
Our Sai is One of these, Who incarnated for the welfare of the devotees, Supreme in knowledge and surrounded with divine lustre, He loved all beings equally. He was unattached. Foes and friends, kings and paupers, were the same to Him. Hear His powers. For the sake of devotees, He spent His stock of merits and was ever alert to help them.
But the devotees could never approach Him, unless He meant to receive them. If their turn did not come, Baba did not remember them, and His Leelas could not reach their ears. Then, how could they think of seeing Him?
Some men desired to see Sai Baba’s but they did not get any opportunity of taking His darshan, till His Mahasamadhi. There are many such persons, whose desire for Baba’s darshan was not thus satisfied. If these persons, believing in Him, listen to His Leelas, their quest for milk (darshan) will be, to a great extent, satisfied by the butter- milk (Leelas).
I have a “Task”: To foster all mankind and ensure for all of them lives full of bliss (Ananda). I have a “Vow”: To lead all who stay away from the straight path again into goodness and save them. I am attached to a “Work” that I love: To remove the sufferings of the poor and grant them what they lack. I have a “reason to be proud”, for I rescue all who worship and adore Me, aright.
-Puttaparthi Sri Sathya Sai Baba
