Sathya Sai, The OverLord Has Come…

Addressing the congregation of devotees on Nov 23, 1985 Bhagawan began His discourse with a poem in which He declared His Avataric advent as the continuation of all the earlier Avatars from Narasimha to Bhagawan Sri Krishna and beyond….And He declared, Now, with all the attributes, all the qualities has come Puttaparthi Sathya Sai, The OverLord of all.

He alone is a real man
Whose thoughts, words and deeds
Are in perfect harmony.
How can he be a genuine man
When his mind is divorced from speech and deed
And all three are not in harmony?
If birth, old age and death don’t happen,
if desires don’t fall and gain isn’t lost,
If the world isn’t the fleeting flow, it is,
How could man have affection, compassion, love?

The attributes and qualities which were assumed
When, to save Prahlada, the Supreme Person came;
The attributes and qualities which were assumed
When, to save the elephant, the Lotus-eyed came;
The attributes and qualities which were assumed
When, to save the poor Kuchela, The Lord of Veda came;
The attributes and qualities which were assumed
When, to save the boy, Dhruva, He came from Heaven;

Now, with all the attributes, all the qualities has come
He Whom the gods adore, The Refuge of the rejected.
The Lord of all the worlds, the Lord of infinite Glory,
As All Existence, as All Knowledge and All Bliss in One Form embodied
As Puttaparthi Sathya Sai, The Over Lord of all that Is.
