Some of the mysterious texts of Tantra, for example Tripura Rahasya and Saundarya Lahari, speak of the highest divinity as the Mother Goddess. That is why the third incarnation of Sai Baba is the manifestation of the Goddess in the human world. The Mother Goddess personifies the transforming divine energy as an active creative principle and a symbol of the highest divine transformation.
This story says that Shiva and Shakti promised to incarnate in this world three times. But also, in this story there is a very important caveat, which is that he will be incarnated at least three times. This means that the number of incarnations could be much greater.
The first incarnation of Sai Baba was from 1835 to 1918 and his name was Shirdi Sai Baba. He was the incarnation of Shiva, that is, Absolute Consciousness.
He lived in the city of Shirdi in western India, hence he was called Shirdi Sai Baba. In this incarnation, he prepared the groundwork for his universal spiritual mission.
The second incarnation of Sai Baba was from 1926 to 2011 and he was called Sathya Sai Baba. Sathya means "truth." In this incarnation, he included the qualities of Shiva and Shakti, the principle of Consciousness and the principle of Energy. That is why he was called the full divine incarnation. Communicating with Sathya Sai Baba, people felt in him both the Divine Father and the Mother Goddess.
The third incarnation of Sai Baba is Prema Sai Baba. In Sanskrit, Prema means divine love. According to this mythological story, Prema Sai Baba is the embodiment of the Mother Goddess, which is the highest life-affirming and transforming Cosmic Power. In this incarnation, he will actively transform the spiritual state of all mankind.
52. Freedom is the original nature of man
Sometimes people thought if they came to Sathya Sai Baba and expressed their request for help, then that was enough. In fact, just indicating your request is not enough, you must then act and take independent steps toward overcoming difficulties and achieving goals.
In order to convey your request to Sathya Sai Baba, it was not necessary to speak with him physically, it was enough to internally concentrate on him and formulate your question mentally. This was enough because he was absolutely clairvoyant and omniscient.
In order to change your life, you must definitely make your own efforts; in addition, you need to understand it sometimes takes time to solve problems and achieve results. You should not be offended by Sathya Sai Baba for the fact that in a day or a month he did not free you from suffering and did not solve your most difficult life situations. You have to be able to wait.
