Baba is a teacher or guru in south India with an enormous following.
Hundreds of thousands, perhaps one or two million people from all over
the world would claim to be His devotees. These followers see Him
as God, the creator of the universe. He is a cosmic Avatar.
Sai Baba and Maitreya both embody the same energy - what we call the Christ
principle, the energy of Love - Sai Baba at the cosmic level, Maitreya
at the planetary level.
Maitreya comes from our Earth evolution. He is not from outside this planet. He is the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last - the first of early humanity back in Atlantean days to ‘achieve', become divine. You become divine when you have taken the third initiation. In those days, that was the highest initiation that an Earth man could take. Today, it is only the third of five initiatory experiences which make you a Master, a God-Man. Maitreya was one of a small group who took the third initiation at that time. Another was the Buddha. Maitreya is the last of that group to remain with humanity. Others have gone on, outside this planet or solar system. Some have gone to the higher centre, Shamballa, as the Buddha has done, having given up a physical body to be on Shamballa. Maitreya, on the other hand, has remained with us, in the Himalayas, during all that time. That is what is meant in the Bible by the Alpha and Omega. Sai Baba is a cosmic visitor. He is a Spiritual Regent. Since our Planetary Logos cannot take dense physical manifestation, He calls in, from time to time, numbers of avatars or ‘regents' to stand in for Him. Just as in the outer world, if a king dies and has a son too young to become king immediately, a regent is chosen, usually an uncle or cousin, to take over the throne until the boy grows up. Avatars bring in cosmic energy.
They ‘come from above' down into this world in response to human need.
They stand in for God or the Logos of this planet. Such an avatar
is Sathya Sai Baba. There are always several avatars at any given
time. Ramakrishna and Ramana Maharshi were avatars. The line from
Babaji down to Yogananda was a line of avatars. Some avatars are completely
unknown; They give no teachings, no one has ever heard of Them, but Their
presence here sustains the world. Without that presence, this would
be a much sorrier world than it is.
