He Is That…an episode from Sathyam Sivam Sundaram – Part 6.Once there was an interesting dialogue between a well-known jnani of our times and his disciple about Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. One of the disciples of Sri Nisarga Datta Maharaj was a frequent visitor to Prasanthi Nilayam and he became an ardent devotee of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba in course of time. One evening while serving his Guru, who lived at Kethwadi in Mumbai, he submitted his question, “Maharaj, who is Sri Sathya Sai Baba?”
Instead of answering the question of the curious disciple, the Guru asked him, “What does Baba say about Himself?”
The disciple, who did not expect that question from his Guru, said what he could remember at that time, “Maharaj, Baba has revealed that He is the reincarnation of Sai Baba of Shirdi!”
“When did Shirdi Baba shed His mortal coil?”
“In 1918.”
“When did Sri Sathya Sai Baba make His advent?”
“In 1926”
“Baba is what He was between 1918 and 1926!”
The disciple could not comprehend what the Jnani had meant by that; he was also not satisfied since the answer was not what he had expected. He pleaded with his Guru, “Maharaj, I cannot understand what you said about Baba…”
“Sri Sathya Sai Baba is Paripoorna Parabhrahmam!” declared the Jnani. The disciple was very happy with that answer since that was what he wanted to hear from his Guru! But the Guru was not satisfied; he wanted to teach his disciple a higher lesson. He asked the disciple, “What do you understand now about Baba?”
The disciple was baffled by the question; he kept silent. Then the Guru told the bewildered disciple, “Idle curiosity and vain words are of no use to an aspirant. Try to know yourself. When you realise who you are, you will realise Who Sri Sathya Sai Baba is!”

integral part of Bhagawan’s visits to Mumbai, Latur, Hadshi, Shimla and other
places. He had the rare opportunity of serving Swami in HIS residence at
Dharmakshetra and other places during HIS Visits to Mumbai and other parts of
Maharashtra. He was also Blessed by Bhagawan to attend the one month Summer
Course at the Brindavan Campus in 2002. Litesh has traveled extensively in
Maharashtra and other parts of India giving presentations on Swami's Message of
Service and Love, including at Poornachandra auditorium during the World Youth
Conference in 1997 and at Brindavan during the Way Forward National Sai Retreat
last year.
An integral part of the youth wing of Mumbai, he is
instrumental in taking up various service initiatives and projects on behalf of
the Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organization of Maharashtra & Goa. Litesh lives in
Mumbai and currently serves as a Director & Regional Product Head in a
multi-national Bank.
During this visit, Litesh will also be accompanied
by Mrs. and Mr. Acharya from Mumbai. They have been in Swami's fold since the
1960s and Mrs. Seema Acharya has been an active Bal Vikas Guru since the 1980s.
Their sons, Nitin Acharya and Neeraj Acharya studied in Swami's institutions and
were Blessed by Swami to serve in HIS Trusts, Neeraj in the Central Trust and
Nitin in the Books and Publications Trust. For many years, Nitin was Blessed to
serve in close proximity to Bhagawan as HIS personal attendant. Brothers Nitin
and Neeraj live in Puttaparthi and aren't visiting the US now.

From Aravind Balasubramanya
Dear all,
... Just yesterday, seeing Andy Murray win over Djokovic in Wimbledon 2013, I thought,
"What a hero!"
And my thoughts were more with Djokovic than Murray though Murray is also a hero in his own right... I wished I too could be a hero like them.
That brought me to the phrase that Swami often uses - Platform Hero, Practical Zero. Delving deeper, backed by two episodes from my life, I realized that being a practical hero needs one to be aware of many subtle workings...
Another offering of gratitude to my dear Master, my Swami...
