Shirdi Sai Baba died in 1918. Sathya Sai
Baba (1926-2011) is a well-known spiritual leader in India. As he was played up
by the mass media in Japan, Sathya Sai Baba is a well-known saint in Japan,
too.
As described in Wikipedia, Sathya Sai Baba proclaimed
himself: “I am the reincarnation of Shirdi Sai Baba and an Avatar.” Sai Baba means a holy person and Avatar stands
for the incarnation of god.
It is common knowledge to devotees of Sai
Baba that Sathya Sai Baba is the reincarnation of Shirdi Sai Baba. However,
this is not true.
Shirdi Sai Baba and Sathya Sai Baba are
completely different souls. You can confirm this by yourself.
Prepare two pieces of paper both sides of which
is white; write the names of Shirdi Sai Baba and Sathya Sai Baba on each paper.
Hold each card lightly with your hands and synchronize yourself with the card’s
vibrations. At that time, focus your attention on your physical body (in a narrow
definition). Then, you feel Shirdi Sai Baba has a presence of physical body,
but Sathia Sai Baba has no presence at all.
This means that Shirdi Sai Baba has been
reborn and has the physical body, while Sathya Sai Baba has no physical body.
Therefore, we find these two persons are different people.
Like this, religious belief is perceived
notion and different from the fact to a great extent. I don’t mention here
whether Sathya Sai Baba mistook himself to be the reincarnation of Shirdi Sai
Baba or he intentionally told a lie.
If applying the simple method I told you
also to his Linga Sarira and causal body, you will learn more about him.
I tell you the method not to create a
special religious belief anew but to liberate you from a wrong world view you
have had by examining it by yourself.
The truth help liberate truth seekers but
bring into disaster those who cling to an illusion and retreat into their own
world view. Specifically speaking, those whose religious belief increases
egoism give an angry response when the truth is told. When such anger is
directed to true god, karma immediately gets back to them and leads to self-destruction.
There will be no problem if simply ego is destroyed. However, it is likely that
even soul (jiva) will be destroyed. It
may safe to say that the absolute edge is the Last Judgment.

Shirdi
Sai Baba
Shirdi Sai Baba (aka Sai Baba of Shirdi) (<snip>
Date of birth unknown – 15 October 1918) was an Indian spiritual master.
<snip>
Personality
Sai Baba was a Hindu yogi, Islamic ascetic
monk or fakir. He is revered as a saint by both his Hindu and Muslim devotees
even after his death.
Some Hindu devotees believe that Shirdi Sai
Baba is a reincarnation of Shiva, Dattatreya or Kabir and he is widely
worshipped as a true spiritual teacher (satguru).
<snip>
Anecdote
A man who committed theft was arrested. He
mentioned the name of Sai Baba from spite: “He told me to do so.” His name had
already been known. The police, of course, never believed what the thief said.
But they visited Sai Baba and asked in joke: “It is of course a lie, isn’t it?”
Sai Baba answered: “Yes, he did so as I told him.”
This one word made him worshipped as the
reincarnation of God.

However, Sai Baba did not admit utilizing
his name as a means of business. He said: “Some people do business utilizing
the name of Sai. They pretend to be devotees and deceive others. I don’t
approve such act. They are not devotees. They go to everywhere and collect
money under the name of Sai. It is a serious crime. I never ask anybody for a
single paisa. I never approve such business.” (July 22, 2002)
