Who is Shirdi Sai Baba? – His own statements - 1

Who is Shirdi Sai Baba? – His own statements - 1

      I am god (Allah)
      I am Mahalaxmi; I speak the truth-sitting as I do at the Mosque.
      (I am Vittoba of Pandari)- Go, I am at Pandhari
      (I am Ganapathi; Mother), all offerings you made to Ganapati have reached Me.
      (I am Dattatreya); Are you puffed up? Where was male progeny in your destiny? (in answer to the prayer you offered before Datta at Gangapur) I tore up this body and gave you a son.
      (I am Laxmi Narain); Why go for Ganga elsewhere. Hold your palm at my feet. Here flows Ganga.
       (I am Maruti); My father dedicated me to Maruti.
      I make gestures before his temple telling him I am his brother.
      All that (viz, other Gods) is Allah (to Rohilla)
      Q; Baba, who are you? whence?
      SB: (in the absolute mood): I am the attributeless, Absolute, Nirguna. I have no name, no residence.
(Again in the mood of Duality)I got embroiled by Karma, and came to a body. (So) I got a name and abode. Dehi, i.e., the embodied, is my name; and the world is my abode, brahman is my father and Maya, my mother. As they interlocked, I got this body. The world is evanescent, mutable.
      I am Parvardigar (God). I live at Shirdi and everywhere.
      My age is lakhs of years.
      My business is to give blessings.
      All things are mine.
      I give everything to everyone.
      I am in Gangapur, Pandharpur and in all places. I am in every bit of the globe.
      All the universe is in me.
      Stick to the one whom you worship or rever. God will protect you soon.


(From Baba's Charters and Saying – 58-63)
