Q & A with Bhagavan

Hislop: In America, when they hear of Sai, some people declare that he is the anti-Christ.

Sai: Some individual ideas of some people. Goldstein has individual ideas. Hislop has individual ideas. I know what is not good, and I know what is good. All my ideas and actions are based on what is good for the world. I am pure, I have no worries, I have no anxieties, I am happy always, and I have no anger. I want nothing, take nothing, and do nothing for myself. All I think, all I do, at all times is for the good of the world.

Hislop: We could also have the same ideas by doing as Swami does.

Sai: Yes, to follow Swami is the important thing. To follow this example is best.

Rb: I am trying to follow Swami’s instructions.

Sai: Trying? Trying is no good. Do it! Do it!

Hislop: We can ask Swami for strength!

Sai: I will give strength! Sometimes there is wavering of faith in Sai. Thoughts arise, “Why does Sai do this? Why does He do that?” Peter was near and dear to Christ. But he denied Christ.

Hislop: Did he deny Christ because of fear for the safety of his body or because of feeling that he was the body?

Sai: Yes. It was because of body identification. Judas was also near and dear. He was a good devotee. Jesus did not divide the disciples into good and bad.

Hislop: I pray that my faith in Sai will not waver.

Sai: The important thing is to do good and be good. Do not see the bad. See only the good.
