Multple Form of Divinity.... Dr. Samuel H. Sanweiss, M.D
I, have heard countless stories during my travels over the years and each one inspires and touches me with a new poingnancy.
In the years of 1996-1997, my wife Sharon and I spoke at the Sai Conference in Venezuela, denmark, Holland, Germany, and England. We attended Sai Baba's 75th Birthday celebration in India in November 2000, when 168 countries were represeneted.
During these times, as well as throughout the years, we have heard thousand stories of Swami personally and moraculously touching and changing lives. Most devotees we have met have had a moving personal experiences with Sai Baba that had heightened his or her spiritual life.
The following story about Swami appearing in multiple forms of divinity gave me courage just before I was to speak to a London audience of 2500 people in 1996.
Always uneasy before speaking about Swami in front of a large group, I was trying to calm myself during the ride to the auditorium. I never feel quite sure of myself, especially as I prepare to talk about about the incompreheensible. Perhaps that's how we should be under such circustances, never taking anything for granted, while wanting to be immediate, open unprertentious and vulnerable.
A lovely yound Indian couple was driving me, I asked the driver, "How were you first attacted to Sai Baba?." He replied, it really something quite unusual. My wife was the devotee of Sai Baba, and not me. I believe in God in the form of Rama,Krishna and in the ancient texts of Hinduism.
But not that God would come again in human form in this modrern day and age. I sort of tolerated her devotion to Sai Baba. Then one evening while I was in bed, I looked towards the wall, and there against the wall stood Sai Baba. At first, I thought it mighty a misperception and shook my head. Yet, no, it was he in the flesh!.. I looked upward, and there he was again in front of my eyes
I first thought that he had made a mistake and actually wanted to visit my wife. I wasn't frightened or alarmed,just a bit put out because I did't want to see him. Then I turn away to look at another wall, and there he stood again
I looked upward and there he was again in front of my eyes on the ceiling. Frustrated and rolled over, putting my head in the pillow, and went to sleep.
"The next day, I had the strong feeling that he would come again. I was worried and did not want to see him alone. I thought he would come to the bedroom again. I waited that evening untill my wife was ready to go to bed. Then I followed her up the stairs, wanting her to go to bedroom before me. I had n't told her of the incident, nor of my relief that she was with me now.
However, there is a devotional room off to the right, just before entering our bedroom and as we walked along, she quickly took a right turn into this room. My momentum carried me into he bedroom and, as I had thought, there he was again!.
"As I looked at Sai Baba, I was absolutely amazed to see him turn into the form of Lord Rama, then into the form of Krishna and the into the form of Ganesha, the elephant-headed God who removes obstacles. He then turned ito two other forms of divinity.
I was overwhelmed by the experience. I immediately knew that he was divinity. Then when I went to sleep, he came tome in my dream. He has since come many times in dreams, showering love and giving me personal instructions on every aspect of my life. He is my constant companion. He is God incarate.
Hearring this story was a wonderful gift given to me just before my talk in London. I was immediately elevated to a higher level of awarness. I was in bliss and charged with Sai Baba's divine love, the power of his authority, the grace he bestows, and the protection he provides, by simply relating this gift of a story. Sai Baba has come with such gloious omnipresent love to soften our hearts untill we melt into him.
