" The two bodies are different, but the Divinity is One. The first advent
was for revealing Divinity. The second advent is to awaken the Divinity (in
human beings). The next advent (Prema Sai) is for propagating Divinity. The
three Sais are Shirdi Sai, Sathya Sai, and Prema Sai. The reason for relating
all this is that today happens to be the birthday of Shirdi Sai Baba (September
28, 1835). Shirdi Baba attained samadhi in 1918. Bodies are transient. These
vestures are assumed only for the sake of devotees. Unless the Divine comes
with a form, no one can develop faith in the Formless. The Divine in human
form is the preparation for comprehending the formless Absolute.
- From Bhagawan's Divine Discourse on September 28, 1991
