How important is to know about the Baba's birth? As much as the origin of a river or the beginnings of a Saint. Birth and death are the markers of time and none more.Universal spirit cannot be confined; eternity cannot be judged by physical measures,whether time or space. As the Fall sets in yet another year, let us rejoice yet another reason for glorifying the Lord. Let us bask in the good times that Sai has lead us to. Letus remind ourselves once again of the abundant fortunes of the mysterious Saint andHis clear message.CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE: Baba's MissionThe term "Mission" is derived from the Latin "Mitto" meaning "to send". So, amissionary is the one who is sent with a message or direction. As used in the Christianliterature, a mission was the most valuable characteristic of the lives of such greatProphets as Moses, Jesus, and others. Jesus' mission was by His own death to absolvemankind from hereditary or original sin, that is, the sin derived by being thedescendents of the first sinners, Adam and Eve. His death was considered as a sacrificeon behalf of entire humanity. Others' mission, for example, Moses' was to lead the Jewsfrom captivity in Egypt on towards the Promised Land. The idea of a missionary is practically that of an agent. In the case of Sai Baba, he declared, "God has agentseverywhere, they have great powers". Baba added, "I also have great powers",implying thereby that he was also an agent of God. He also expressly told D.S. Rasane,"I can do nothing except when God orders". He did not give a kupni to G.G. Narkesaying, "The Fakir (God) has not permitted me to give you a kupni", i.e., the rope of asanyasi or begging fakir, as G.G. Narke was to be a family man, an earning Grihastha,according to God's plan and not a beggar. As an agent, he said that he had vast powers.The powers and the mission have a close relation. The mission has to be workedthrough the powers given and the powers are given only for carrying out the mission.Baba had by concentration on God practically every siddhi (Great Power) that one canthink of. Srimad Bhagavadgeetha says, "What power is there that can not be got byconcentration on God with conquest or control of mind and senses and breath?" Baba'svast powers were always utilized for the benefit of mankind, promoting individual benefits that were obvious, seen, and well understood, and general benefits which werenot so equally obvious or well seen and understood. We have to consider the missionof Baba based on the possession of His powers and notice what general benefits wereconferred on the country or mankind, though these are not yet obvious to most people.
