Sai Baba & Maitreya

 

Sai Baba is a teacher or guru in south India with an enormous following... perhaps one or two million people from all over the world would claim to be His devotees. These Followers see Him as God, the creator of the universe. He is a cosmic avatar. Sai Baba and Maitreya both embody the same energy--what we call the Christ principle, the energy of Love --- Sai Baba at the cosmic level, Maitreya at the planetary level.

"Love All -- Serve all."
"Help Ever -- Hurt Never."

Maitreya comes from our earth evolution. He is not from outside this planet. He is the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last -- the first of early humanity back in Atlantean days to 'achieve', become divine. You become divine when you have taken the third initiation. In those days, that was the highest initiation that an Earth man could take. Today, it is only the third of five initiatory experiences which make you a Master, a God-Man. Maitreya was one of a small group who took the third initiation at that time. Another was the Buddha. Maitreya is the last of that group to remain with humanity. Others have gone on, outside this planet or solar system. Some have gone to the higher center, Shamballa, as the Buddha has done, having given up a physical body to be on Shamballa. Maitreya, on the other hand, has remained with us, in the Himalayas, during all that time. That is what is meant in the Bible by the Alpha and Omega.

Sai Baba is a visitor. He is a Spiritual Regent. Since our Planetary Logos cannot take dense physical manifestation, He calls in, from time to time, numbers of avatars or 'regents' to stand in for Him. Just as in the outer world, if a king dies and has a son too young to become king immediately, a regent is chosen, usually an uncle or cousin, to take over the throne until the boy grows up. Avatars bring in cosmic energy. They 'come from above' down into this world in response to human need. They stand in for God or the Logos of this planet. Such an avatar is Sathya Sai Baba. There are always several avatars at any given time, Ramakrishna and Ramana Maharshi were avatars. The line from Babaji down to Yogananda was a line of avatars. Some avatars are completely unknown; They give no teachings, no one has ever heard of Them, but Their presence here sustains the world. Without that presence, this would be a much sorrier world than it is.


Questions & Answers with Benjamin Creme

Q. After His triple incarnations as Shirdi, Sathya, & Prema Sai, will Sai Baba incarnate again in the future?

A. This is still unknown, even to Sai Baba.

Q. Why doesn't Sai Baba speak out about the Christ to His many followers, or even instruct them to use the Great Invocation, which is supposed to such a powerful and needed tool for transformation?

A. One reason He does not speak out about Maitreya, the Christ, being in the world is that His followers take as 'gospel truth' everything He says. If He said, "the Christ is indeed in the World. He is in London, as Mr. Creme is saying," hundreds of thousands of devotees all over the world would believe Him, and in so doing, He would have infringed their free will, their right of spiritual recognition.

Why do you think someone like me is asked to do this work? Why not the Pope? Why not the Queen of England? Why not Sai Baba? Because they have an authority which would contravene your divine right of free will. I have no particular authority, I am a private individual; you can believe me or not and are left free to make up your own mind. But if I were Sai Baba, the Pope, or the Queen of England, you would believe it because of their authority.

Sai Baba has a very special relationship to Maitreya. Sai Baba would call Himself, does call Himself, the Lord, because He has God Realization. Anybody who has God-realization, whether He is a Master , a Christ, or Sai Baba, senses Himself as the Lord, because there is no separation. He is the Lord. He is not the only manifestation of the Lord, but He is a manifestation of the Lord, and experiences Himself as the Lord.

When we attain God-realization, we too will sense ourselves as the Lord, because there is nothing else. There is only God. We either sense or experience ourselves as God , and therefore are God, completely at-one with the divine aspect of ourselves, or that experience is limited. If it is limited in some way, we have a sense of at least partial separation. That is what most people experience.

Q. You say that the Lord Maitreya was Krishna. Yet Sai Baba seems to intimate that He was Krishna. Can you explain this?

A. I believe that Krishna was a previous manifestation of Maitreya, but Sai Baba is also correct (if I may say so) in claiming to be Krishna. It is a question of the level of the energy associated with Krishna, namely, love. Sai Baba is a cosmic Avatar and embodies that energy at a cosmic level, while Maitreya, a planetary Avatar, does so at a planetary level. Each is a manifestation of the love of God. Maitreya's individual consciousness, however, manifested through Krishna by overshadowing (in much the same way as He did in Palestine through Jesus), while Sai Baba identifies with the cosmic Krishna, or Christ Principle.

Q. What is the role of the Buddha in our planetary Hierarchy? What is His relationship to Maitreya?

A. The Buddha no longer retains a physical vehicle but dwells on the highest center of our planet, Shamballa, which is in matter of the two highest ethers in the Gobi desert. He acts as the divine intermediary between Shamballa and Hierarchy, bringing the Plan from Shamballa to the three great lords of Hierarchy (the Christ, the Manu, and the Lord of Civilization) who approximate it to the possible and work it out through humanity. He is the brother of Maitreya.
They were among the first group of earth humanity to 'achieve', that is, take initiation, way back in early Atlantean times. They have been at the forefront of humanity ever since. The Buddha is deeply engaged in the process of Maitreya's mission as World Teacher.

Q. Why do some Avatars grow old?

A. Some do and some do not. Certain `hidden' Avatars, such as Babaji and Sanat Kumara Himself, do not grow old, and the body in which Maitreya now presents Himself will not grow old throughout the Aquarian Age. Avatars such as Rama-Krishna, Ramana Maharishi, Sai Baba and others who take a human body inevitably undergo human dissolution. But this happens only when their purpose in incarnating is fulfilled.

MAITREYA HAS SAID:

"I have not come to create followers, each of you should continue tomaitreya.jpg (5662 bytes) develop within your own religious tradition. A real disciple is one who will respect the traditions. Respect your own religions, your own ideologies, in brief, your own thought form, and you will experience the Master. Even when you see Me, do not run after Me. If you run after Me, you will lose Me. If you parade Me, you do not know who I am. I cannot be monopolized, I belong to everyone.

"You will find happiness when you begin to realize that the Almighty is always with you, 24 hours of the day. Then you will experience freedom from within. There is no room then for unhappiness, greed or anger.

"Be what you are. Do not surrender your self-respect, your dignity, to others. Do not allow anyone to cast his shadow over you. A Master gives experiences, but does not cast his shadow. Do not follow one another. If you practice honesty of mind, sincerity of spirit and detachment, you will know your Self, you will know Me, you will know the Lord.

"My plan is to show you that the way out of your problems is to listen again to the true voice of God within your hearts, to share the produce of this most bountiful of worlds among your brothers and sisters everywhere."

"Remember this, forget not that I come to change all things. My coming brings peace. Likewise, my presence brings cleavage. My sword, that love which I am, will separate all men, will show the true from the false, will clear the way for the new light which I bring. May it be that you can withstand this change and accept my light."

From "Messages from Maitreya the Christ" One Hundred Forty Messages (Tara Press; London & Los Angeles)


According to Maitreya, "The Self alone matters. You are that Self, an immortal being." Suffering is caused by identification with anything and everything which is not the Self. Ask yourself "Who am I?" You will see that you are identified either with matter (the body), or with thought (the mind), or with power (spirit). But you are none of these. "Mind, spirit and body are the temples of the Lord." The Self experiences in these temples "the supreme Being and Becoming of the Lord."

One of the easiest ways to know me, Maitreya says, is to:

  • be honest in your mind,
  • be sincere in your spirit, and
  • practice detachment.

Any action performed with dishonesty of mind, an insincere spirit and attachment is destructive. For example, when you think one thing, say another, and do something which is different again, you are lost. Honesty of mind leads to honest speech and honest action. This harmony leads to peace and happiness. Without detachment, there is no salvation. Detachment is the most powerful 'drug'. To learn detachment is an art.

From Maitreya's teachings on the practice of self-realization.

 


Get this125 KB mp3 file with Sai Baba sounding the Gayatri Mantra - it's only about 30 seconds long. This is the actual voice of one cosmic avatar - that might be of interest or use. It has a very nice effect - and can be set to play over and over on most of the free sound players. Doubt that there have been many people in previous generations - (if any) who have had such treasures freely available to them.  The Gayatri is the prayer for the blessing of all creatures by our radiant Father in Heaven, the Sun.

"It is a fallacy to believe, as some do, that the main trend of Christ's work will be through the medium of the churches or the world religions...He will use all available channels whereby the consciousness of man may be enlarged and right orientation be brought about...the churches are but one of the teaching avenues He will employ...

He will not come as the restorer of any of the ancient religions including Christianity, but He will come to restore man's faith in the Father's love, in the fact of the livinginess of the Christ and in the close, subjective and unbreakable relationship of all men everywhere..." (The Tibetan)
