The following question was asked to Sathya Sai Baba by the journalist R.K. Karanjia during an interview in September 1976.
They are not separate. I have already mentioned the complete oneness of the three in the final objective of the mission. I will give you an example. Take a kilo of gur (a sweet substance). The whole of it tastes sweet. Next break it into small pieces. Each of them is sweet. Finally break them into small grains. You find the same sweetness in them. So the difference is one of quantity and not quality. It is the same with the Avathars. Their tasks and powers requisite to them differ according to the time, the situation and the environment. But they belong to, and derive from, one and the same dharma swarup or divine body.
Let us take the example of fruit. It begins with the seed which grows into the tree and from it comes the fruit. Work can be compared to the seed, worship to the tree and wisdom to the fruit.
The previous Avathar, Shirdi Baba, laid the base for secular integration and gave mankind the message [that] duty is work. The mission of the present Avathar is to make everybody realize that the same God or divinity resides in everyone. People should respect, love and help each other irrespective of colour or creed. Thus all work can become a way of worship. Finally, Prema Sai, the third Avathar will promote the evangel news that not only does God reside in everybody, but everybody is God. That will be the final wisdom which will enable every man and woman to go to God. The three Avathars carry the triple message of work, worship and wisdom.
PS: The magnet can draw iron towards itself, but it cannot attract pieces of iron covered with dust and rust. The dust and the rust on the pieces of the iron must be washed away in order for the magnet to attract. When the mind is polished and pure, there will be harmony in thought, word and deed. This harmony in thought, word and deed is the best proof for the worth of any human being. - SATHYA SAI
· I always share my feeling with you only Baba.
Today myself and My Wife sarada are leaving Chennai and reaching Prasantinilayam tomorrow and would like to have your darsan Baba.
And our future will be decided by HIM. There is one saying 'better
Late than never...'
