Sathya Sai Baba The World-Avatar Teaching and Revelations

They print without shame their despicable inventions displaying malice
and envy of the lowest order. Of course, such calumny is quite an ancient
experience for the eminent; this is my experience in previous
Ages also. The successors of enemies of Krishna cannot remain idle;
but consider to what low level human wickedness has descended. I do
not care either for praise or blame; I only pity these people who, in order
to scrape together a few paise from the poor, resort to such venal
tricks. For all who are pained by these confusing antics I declare:
"Even if all the fourteen worlds unite together, the work for which I have
come will not suffer a bit even if earth and heaven combine, my truth

flow into wrong channels. I am advising you against this, with the force
of a command. 22.11.70, (21-397)
The Truth-love-beauty (sathyam-sivam-sundaram) manifestation of
God responds to prayers addressed to any of Its manifold names; It is
endowed with infinite patience and compassion, though It has now assumed
human form and can be expected to have human traits and
even human failings, for, it has to deal with human frailties and rescue
man from himself. Man has to be shown the means by which he can
