I was reading as late as yesterday that 'The so-called Master' was definitely wrong about one thing: His prophesy that He would leave by 2020 proved false.
For starters, 202 was never His prophesy. I have personally never come across any document saying that the Avatar had declared 2020 to be the year of His passing. What He has declared is that He would leave by His 96th year.
Unfortunately, what He wills has to happen. As is always the case, we are more used to ourselves than we are to the Divine. We forgot that the Avatar’s calendar is not Gregorian. The Hindu calendar is based on the moon, and the lunar month has 27.3 days (0.18 seconds search in Google). So, the math of (85 x 365.25) / (27.3 x 12) = 94.768 (approx) years. Add that to the fact that the Hindu age starts with the first year (this I am trying to corroborate), and you get a pretty straight-forward answer.
That’s just for starters. The Avatar was never known to be as blunt in words as a judge in his judgment. He would always tend to be allusive. Of course, it may not suit us humans, but then, it not suiting our taste doesn’t change it for Him. One of the last Darshans showed the Avatar folding His hands in prayer. I have personally never seen this in my life, though I have been seeing the Avatar since probably 1991. The photo is also the first one to document Swami folding His hands in salutation. The folded hands in prayer is a Hindu good-bye. The Mahasamadhi was just round the corner.
If Swamy had lived till 106,we would have said- "Look at Swamy, he has reneged and has undergone all this pain of living the extra 10 years for the sake and benefit of his bhaktas"
ReplyDeleteWhy should our judgement become any different just because He has left the physical form 10 years earlier. This early departure too is indeed for our benefit- is a positive way to interpret things
We get from Sai what we deserve. The Sai fraternity probably did not deserve the physical frame beyond this time. Yet we will continue to get, until eternity, all the grace and benediction from Sai to the extent we deserve!
The Avatar would have failed even then: He prophesied transition by age 96, but has been proved wrong with an overstay of 10 years.
ReplyDeleteIt's a sceptic's world out there.
The real sceptics do not believe in the avatar! To them- He was a mortal and will remain a mortal.
ReplyDeleteIt is the sceptical mind of the faithfuls which is questioning His physical departure now
