Was Sai Baba Totalitarian?
I have often pondered this question. Was Sai Baba totalitarian? An autocrat or spiritual dictator?
His presence seemed so when I experienced it. We came to a sort of clash about it.
I often wonder if I AM can turn totalitarian in extreme cases. What is to stop it? Calling oneself God can sound very totalitarian if you think about it.

He was just a man like everyone else, maybe realized, maybe not.

A very different sort of man. Unique in many ways.

His role was to head up the start of bringing in treta yurga. So he stood up, and did his tricks and some folks loved him and some hated him.
He had to break down egos and that hurts us, so many get upset.
He baked a few noodles in his time honza, mine included and he still is doing so your not alone.

It is quite amazing what I have experienced through Sai Baba. A lot of grief, and a lot of contention. He is not very gentle at times and downright frightening at others.
I don't know what I'm dealing with. Is it holiness or unholiness. Is it God or is it something else. Very unusual.

Not actions. Not his physical actions, but rather his presence in the spiritual world. His relationship with you in the spirit.
