Sai, Saakshaath Eeshwar and The plan.(Part-1)

Note: This is neither my belief nor my viewpoint. It is purely a fictional view on Sai Baba.

Over the thousands of years of Hinduism, there was one God who was not getting the due credit He deserved because all the good He did was weighed against the over publicized bad or wrong deeds. Even His two sons are revered as highly significant Gods in few communities. But why not Him- Lord Shiva? It’s as if His name itself has some negativity attached to it. This was the thought that was bothering Lord Shiva for ages. But one thought that had hit Him very recently made Him very happy and He couldn’t wait to put it to execution.

It is the early years of 20th century and it was the time British were coming up with all possible ways of dividing Indian unity. One such plan was hatched by Lord Curzon to divide Bengal and to weaken the hindu’s war for freedom in Bengal. But there was one person with all His worldly knowledge and divine power foresaw that this was the first step in straining the relation between Indian Hindus and Muslims. He had to act fast. Even His persistence of “One God” to all His devotees seems to have been going in vain as He sees them fighting for just one reason, religion. He thought to himself that the time has come for the revelation He had waited to reveal for so many years now and that would change the faith of many hindus and muslims. What’s stopping Him and what went wrong in this good intent long scripted divine plan?

When He first stepped in Shirdi as Fakir, He had all the right moves like projecting himself as Sufi Saint and also making a hindu priest naming Him as Sai which meant “Saakshaath Eeshwar”. Even though He was at first thought to be just a fakir, over the years He became Sai Baba the Guru who eased all His devotees of all the earthly troubles and sufferings. And in return He was constantly teaching them the “One God” or famously know “Sabka Malik Ek” philosophy. He was confident that this was the only thing that would keep them together in the dark years to come and stop them from fighting over religion. He stressed on this on all possible occasions and even when it didn’t affect all of His devotees He used to think His final revelation would do the trick for them.

Shirdi Sai Baba owed so much of this Godly status to Baijabai. She was not just one of His earliest devotees. He treated her like His own sister and she too reciprocated the same. She used to search the whole village to find Him and make sure He took His food on time. She was more like a mother to Him and her son was bound to be close to Sai. One mistake that constantly pained Sai was this relation. Baijabai and Tatya were the only personal ties He had and He never realized that would affect His divine plan. He never could understand why such a selfless devotee like her would ask for the well-being of her son on her death bed.

Sai always wanted to do the revelation on His death bed so that the credibility of His story is not lost and that was the perfect plan. No one would deny a person on death bed and that too a Divine person like Sai. But Sai was more concerned about Tatya who was supposedly dying on Oct 15 1918. Sai had to take care of him before He ended this earthly human form and He was trying all the known ways to save Tatya. Somehow nothing seems to have worked except one way, sacrificing His own life for Tatya. But why? Sai who saved so many from near death situations, could have saved even Tatya the same way. Why He had to sacrifice His own life? What are those powers that were out of Sai’s control that forced Him to die without revealing His true self, the revelation He thought would keep Hindus and Muslims together for the darkest times to come......To be contd at.....
