Shri Anil asked: Padanamaskaram Swami! Several devotees of Shri Sathya Sai Baba is expecting the return of Sai Baba as Prema Sai. One of the devotees of Sai Baba says the following in Quora forum:
["Prem Sai has already been born in the Mandya District in Karnataka around 27th November 2011 and he will declare his Aftar hood in 2022 and that is when the work of sukshma Sai Baba living in Muddenahalli will be over and the Sukshma Sathya Sai Baba will completely transfer himself into Prema Sai and the work of God will continue. Om Sai Ram. Because in November 2022 Swami will turn 96 years the true date of leaving his physical body and merging into Prem sai but he left his physical body quite early so he is going to work till 2022 in his spirit form and then when he will become of 96 years he will transfer himself into Prem sai."] At Your Divine Lotus feet, Ani
Swami replied: Shirdi Sai came and preached. Did we change? Sathya Sai came and preached and preached. Did we change? Prema Sai will come and will preach, preach and preach. Are we going to change? Incarnations of God will come again and again as long as this creation exists because we are not going to change unless this creation is totally destroyed. Even after the total destruction of creation, souls exist in a hidden state (avyaktam). They will be born again at the beginning of the new cycle of creation along with their inherent qualities. Neither death nor the destruction of creation can bring any change in the soul. The change in the soul will come only on hearing, memorizing and meditating on the spiritual knowledge spoken by God through the Human Incarnations.
Incarnations of God are infinite in number as said in the Bhagavatam (Avataaraahyasankhyeyaah...). We should always concentrate on the preaching of God-in-human-form. That preaching alone is meant for us and it alone will benefit us. A person who is not hungry at all, simply passes time watching the food served in a plate before him. A person who is not sleepy, just closes his eyes pretending to be asleep. A person, who is not interested in digesting the spiritual knowledge preached by the Human Incarnation exhibits utmost devotion only for the sake of the miracles performed by the Incarnation. Such a person only wants to exploit the miracles for solving personal problems. Many are interested in God only to exploit God’s miraculous powers for their personal use. A person not having even a single rupee in his pocket, goes to the jewelry shop and enquires about the rates of various ornaments of various designs! When the main thing is missing, the inquiry about unnecessary details starts!
