On reading the below article, I am quite amazed to find that many of Baba's teachings and sayings correspond very closely and sometimes even identically to what Christ say's in the Bible. God is One. Again after reading we all should say fron the bottom of the heart "Sabka Malik Ek". Let's Bow in front of our Lord & God Shri SAI Maharaj.
In this post, I will try to show the similarities in the some teachings & quote from The Shri Sai Satcharita of Hemadpant and from The Bible in the referred article.
a) Bible: "Jesus also explains in Matthew (12.36) that any idle words a man speaks will have to be accounted for on the judgment day. So you must also avoid idle words and gossip."
Shri Sai Satcharita: In Chapter XXI, Baba chides the Pandharpur Pleader for his part in joining others at the bar-room in reviling Mr. Noolkar for his faith in Baba..
b) Bible : "And again in Matthew (25.35-46) we find that it is expected that a good Christian must feed and clothe the poor, and take in the homeless, though they be strangers, for as much as you do this for them, you do it also for Jesus."
Shri Sai Satcharita : In Chapter IX, page 56, Baba tells Mrs. Tarkhad (who had fed the hungry dog), "He, who sees Me in all these creatures, is My beloved. So, abandon the sense of duality and distinction, and serve Me as you did today."
c) Bible : "In Matthew (19.20-30), a man comes to Jesus and wants to follow him, but Jesus tells him to first sell everything he has and give the money to the poor. However, the man could not bring himself to do that and sadly went away. Jesus explained to his disciples that hardly any rich man can enter heaven; it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle."
Shri Sai Satcharita : In Chapter XVI & XVII is the story of the rich gentleman who wanted quick Brahma-gyan. Baba tells him "Unless you completely get rid of your avarice or greed you will not get the real Brahma."
d) Bible : "In Luke (9.61-62), there is the story of a man who came to Jesus and asked to follow him, but first simply wanted to bid farewell to his family. But Jesus rejected him and said that no man, having once put his head to the plough and looks back, is fit for the kingdom of God. In another place in Luke (9.59-60), Jesus orders a man to follow him, but the man requests that Jesus first allow him to bury his dead father. Jesus, however, says to let the dead bury their dead, and go preach the kingdom of God."
Shri Sai Satcharita : In Chapter XXXI, Page 165, Baba chides the Chennai's sanyasi Vijayanand who on hearing of his mother's illness, wanted to go to her side. He says, "If you so loved your mother, why did you take Sanyaas? Attachment makes misuse of an ochre garb."
e) Bible : "In Matthew (18.34-35), Jesus says that the Lord will punish you if you do not forgive everybody of their trespasses against you."
Shri Sai Satcharita : Chapter X, Page 59: Baba says, "If anyone does any evil undo you, do not retaliate. If you can do anything, do some good unto others".
If anyone comes across more such similarities, canplease post me at ankit@saimail.com..
Wishing all A Very Happy SAI Vaar & Merry Christmas..
SABKA MALIK EK..
