If you were God...
Now this is the point where each one should start answering for himself/herself. And here are the questions that seek your answer.
1. Since you are the master of time and have the ability to be in what the world considers as the ‘past’ or the ‘future’, what era/time-period would you pick for your descent? Would it be 5,000 BC or 10,000 BC? Would it be 2,089AD or 3,500AD?
2. How long do you think you will need to accomplish the ‘setting-the-world-right’ business? That will determine your life-span on Earth. Remember you are God! So, even a lifetime of 200-250 years is possible for you.
3. Where on earth would you choose to be born? Will it be in a politically powerful country like the US? Or will being born in a poor African nation that is in dire straits help? Remember, starting off with influence and power could make the task easier.
4. What kind of family would you choose to be born into? Will it be a priest’s family or would it be a better option to be a President’s son/daughter? What would be the perfect family to launch the ‘world-changing’ mission?
5. How much money would you gift yourself? All said and done, man seems to be most influential among all and money has a sway over him.
Please let us answer these questions to ourselves before we proceed. Believe it or not, our answers will be very insightful to us in the end
Sathya Sai Baba
Indian spiritual guru (1926–2011)
"Sathyanarayana Raju" redirects here. For other uses, see Sathyanarayana Raju (disambiguation).
Sathya Sai Baba (born Ratnakaram Sathyanarayana Raju; 23 November 1926 – 24 April 2011) was an Indian guru. At the age of 14, he said he was the reincarnation of Shirdi Sai Baba and left his home saying "my devotees are calling me, I have my work".
Sathya Sai Baba's followers have attributed to him a range of miraculous abilities, including the materialisation of vibhuti (holy ash) and other small objects such as rings, necklaces, and watches. He was also believed to have performed spontaneous healings, resurrections, and exhibited clairvoyant abilities. Additionally, claims were made regarding his ability to be in multiple places simultaneously (bilocation), as well as his omnipresence, omnipotence, and omniscience.
Sathya Sai Baba's devotees include members of all religions. In 1972, Sathya Sai Baba founded the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust. Through this organisation, Sathya Sai Baba established a network of free, general, and super speciality hospitals, medical clinics, drinking water projects, educational institutions,ashrams, and auditoriums.
As his number of followers started growing worldwide, it raised concerns among some observers in the western world. In the early 1990s, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) created a secret report that stated the Sai Baba movement is “likely to eventually become another worldwide religion”. The CIA operative who wrote the report concluded it by stating, “there is always the possibility, too, that the movement will collapse if Sai Baba is con Adi Sankaracharya was a 9th century religious sage and scholar who devoted his life to "propagating the sacred Indian culture" (SSB). Sankara's treatise is a brief but thorough explanation of the classical Hindu concept of the Atma (soul, true Self) and the road that leads to its realization. The text is technical, but the interspersed explanations of Swami help to clarify each thought. (S) .Om Sai Ram
