The Grand Glory of the Ongoing Current Mission of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba in the Subtle Body 1 The Grand Glory of the Ongoing Current Mission of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba in the Subtle Body The phrase 'Christs in the Making' in the caption for cover photo, 'The Divine Father and His Christs in the Making', is taken from 'The Revelation of Ramala', and the beautiful photo of Swami with Christmas season drama troupe of 1989 was sent by one of the participants. First free e-book edition, Easter, 2018. With the blessings and guidance of Baba When the book was compiled with His inspiration and the typescript with some incomplete chapters was shown to Him for His Divine blessings, during a group interview which He granted out of His free grace and unmerited favour, even before flipping through the pages, He commented, "It is incomplete; complete it and bring". When again the 'completed' typescript was taken to Him after three months, touching it, He said, "Not yet complete.” Afterwards, He inspired to include three important chapters and a couple of paragraphs in other chapters. Then, after forty days, He blessed it only when the last batch of the editorial corrections were duly incorporated in the typescript. (The entire process of compiling Swami’s glory – successive drafts of manuscripts, several revisions of typescripts, coordination with editors in different time zones, interaction with peer reviewers who are in a cloister of spiritual seekers out of network range – has been a sadhana and a joyous experience. At a particular time when the process, for a moment, appeared to be herculean, exactly at that moment the following passage arrived: “Sri Aurobindo worked upon it [‘Savitri’] for five decades. As you know, he was a born poet. Poetry was natural to him. He wrote his first poem in England when he was thirteen and it was a pastime with him to write poetry. But this particular poem, ‘Savitri’, he revised and re-revised, some portions as many as twenty-one times. When he was asked why he needed to revise when he had already received the overhead inspiration, he said that the revision also came from there. He explained that he was striving for a perfect perfection.”) Email ID: [email protected] 2 The Grand Glory of the Ongoing Current Mission of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba in the Subtle Body 3 A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God’s truth is attacked and yet remained silent. — John Calvin [...] So many of you have become awakened but not all of you have taken advantage of that awakening to spread the Divine Message to the world. — Swami’s Message to Lucas Ralli, ‘Sai Messages For You And Me, Volume V’ ` Indeed that voice is from the King, although it comes from the lips of His devotee. — Masnavi 1:213, Rumi 4 Dedication Om Sai Ram It is His Glory Sung with His words and tunes Compiled with the insights given by Him And with humility dedicated at His Divine Lotus Feet. May we express gratitude to His saints, seers and prophets, May His prophets continue to proclaim His will and alert us to the path. May His instruments in the Mission, whom He brought along with Him, Give us the opportunity and benefit of their good company – satsang – And thereby inspire us to join His majestic, fast-paced, ongoing Mission. May He keep us safely under His wings during the tumultuous times before The dawn of the Sathya Yuga, the Swarna Yuga – The Golden Age – And May we enjoy His Divine Proximity and be a part of His majestic glory.

They say that the Earth can be likened to a ship on which humanity is sailing. At present, the ship of Earth is sailing through relatively calm waters and, even though storms can be seen ahead, no-one is particularly interested in building lifeboats or practising lifeboat drills. But, when the ship does sail into stormy weather, then humanity will rapidly become interested in the lifeboats, and, should the ship of Earth appear to be foundering, then many will rush to the safety of these lifeboats. The Ramala Centre, therefore, is but one of many centres preparing a lifeboat — not a physical lifeboat but a lifeboat of consciousness, as did the prophet Noah before the last great planetary upheaval six thousand years ago. For what was the Ark but a lifeboat, a lifeboat of human consciousness? The purpose of the Ramala teachings is to help humanity to prepare for this great moment of transformation and transmutation so that we may be ready for the Golden Age that is to come.” — From ‘The Wisdom of Ramala’ * World map designed by Evening_Tao / Freepik 6 Table of Contents Introduction 11 Chapter One God’s Mission Statement 13 Chapter Two The Time Is Near – Let Us not Treat God’s Word Lightly 16 Chapter Three Prophecies about the Current Mission 18 Chapter Four God Is Trikal Darshi and the Eyewitness-Consciousness of Everything 22 Chapter Five Light vs Darkness 25 Chapter Six The Unprecedented Precedent–Sporadic, Yet Powerful 27 Chapter Seven When the Truth Is Obvious and Shining Forth, Is It Still Necessary to Rely on ‘Expert’ Opinions? 28 Chapter Eight This Part of My Mission is Performed in Absolute Silence 30 Chapter Nine I Am against This Year’s Sun; I Only Accept Last Year’s 33 Chapter Ten Our Collective Prayers to Swami ‘to Speak through Us’ Have Been Answered! 35 Chapter Eleven They Cannot Tolerate the Splendour of the Divine 37 Chapter Twelve Do Not Be Afraid of Any False Publicity 39 7 Chapter Thirteen A Devotee’s Dilemma 41 Chapter Fourteen He Will Go on Attracting More and More Devotees 43 Chapter Fifteen The Resurrection is the Foundation for Joy 44 Chapter Sixteen Aren’t You Beginning to Be More Sure of the Invisible Than the Visible? 46 Chapter Seventeen A New Definition of the Martha Syndrome 48 Chapter Eighteen God’s Chosen Instruments 51 Chapter Nineteen God’s Very Special Chosen Instruments – His Own Scribes and Communicators 52 Chapter Twenty Recognising a Tree by Its Fruits 56 Chapter Twenty one A Divinely-Chosen Mother’s Love Attracts All Faiths to Her Lotus Feet 59 Chapter Twenty two ‘We Belong to Sai’ versus ‘Sai Belongs to Us’ – Which Category Are You In? 64 Chapter Twenty three The Question of Sustainability 66 Chapter Twenty four The Hadiths (The Words of Prophet Muhammad) Relevant to the Current Mission 68 8 Chapter Twenty five A Tiny Pebble Which Is Filled with Unfair Hatred in the Love-Filled Mighty River Niger 70 Chapter Twenty six “Chi Sputa In Su, Lo Sputo Gli Torno Sul Viso”– ‘If You Spit in the Air, It Will Hit You in the Face’ 73 Chapter Twenty seven How Swami Glorifies His Previous Avatars Including How He is Glorifying the First Phase – the Pre-transition Phase – of His Present Incarnation 75 Chapter Twenty eight Powerful References to How We Are Moving into the Golden Age 77 Chapter Twenty nine Code of Conduct Prescribed by Swami for Ashrams 79 Chapter Thirty Now More Powerful Than Ever 82 Chapter Thirty one Swami’s Message to the Meeting of the Sai Organisations of Europe through the Vocal Cords of Lucas Ralli on 12th May 1989 84 Chapter Thirty two The Fastest Phase of Swami’s Avataric Mission 86 Chapter Thirty three ‘Nenu tvaralopalane prapancham tour kuda chestaanu’ – I Will Undertake a World Tour Shortly! 88 Chapter Thirty four The Golden Age of Many Years of Peace 93 Chapter Thirty five He is Here and There – and Everywhere, and He is a Living and Loving Presence 96 9 Chapter Thirty six God’s Heavenly Abode on Earth 100 Prayer 103 Glossary 104 Index 107 10 Introduction “A true Master is not the one with the most students, but one who creates the most Masters. A true leader is not the one with the most followers, but the one who creates the most leaders. A true king is not the one with the most subjects, but one who leads the most to royalty. A true teacher is not the one with the most knowledge, but one who causes the most to have knowledge. And a true God is not one with the most servants, but one who serves the most, thereby making Gods of all others.” — ‘The New Revelations: A Conversation with God’ by Neale Donald Walsch. Sri Indulal Shah ji, in his preface to his book, ‘Remove the Curtain Between You and Me’, published on 27th March, 2009, on the occasion of Yugadi (Gudi Padwa), writes, “The Phenomenon of His Divine Holiness Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba has generated an unprecedented interest and yearning in mankind all over the Globe to know more about Him.” When Baba, after 2011, returned in His Subtle Form to continue His Mission, the interest and yearning to know about Him became even greater. Here is an humble effort to share with fellow spiritual seekers some insights about Swami’s ongoing Current Mission in His Subtle Form: some of the lesser known hints about the Current Mission given previously through several instruments of God and also by Swami Himself; the way the Mission is happening simultaneously everywhere across the globe; about the heralding of the Golden Age; how the sceptical are staying away from the Mission and so forth.
