The following question was asked to Swami by the journalist R.K.
Karanjia during an interview in September 1976 :
Why had this task to be divided into three separate incarnations of
the Shirdi, Sathya and Prema Babas?
Swami said " They are not separate. I have already mentioned the
complete oneness of the three in the final objective of the mission. I will
give you an example. Take a kilo of gur , The whole of it tastes sweet. Next
break it into small pieces. Each of them is sweet. Finally break them into
small grains. You find the same sweetness in them. So the difference is one of
quantity and not quality. It is the same with the Avathars. Their tasks and
powers requisite to them differ according to the time, the situation and the
environment. But they belong to, and derive from, one and the same dharma
swarup or divine body.
Let us take the example of fruit. It begins with the seed which
grows into the tree and from it comes the fruit. Work can be compared to the
seed, worship to the tree and wisdom to the fruit.
The previous Avathar, Shirdi Baba, laid the base for secular
integration and gave mankind the message [that] duty is work. The mission of
the present Avathar is to make everybody realize that the same God or divinity
resides in everyone. People should respect, love and help each other
irrespective of color or creed. Thus all work can become a way of worship.
Finally, Prema Sai, the third Avathar will promote the evangel news
that not only does God reside in everybody, but everybody is God. That will be
the final wisdom which will enable every man and woman to go to God. The three
Avathars carry the triple message of work, worship and wisdom.
Sai Ram
