No Difference Between Shri Sai and Shri Datta Swami
[Smt. Purna]
Smt. Purna, who lives in Rajahmundry, is a devotee of Swami. She had not seen Swami for a long time and so she requested Him to allow her to visit Him on Monday, over the phone. Swami, who had come to Rajahmundry, asked her to come on Wednesday. In the meantime, on Tuesday, Purna went to a devotee of Shirdi Sai. She is possessed by Shri Shirdi Sai. Purna told her that she was going on Wednesday to have darshan of Swami. "Okay, go. Swami will give you darshan. But from now onwards, sit in your puja room and meditate. Swami is there everywhere," Swami said this through that devotee. Purna said okay and she said she would not cross the house for Swami. Shirdi Sai asked her to make a promise. Purna did so and came to see Swami on Wednesday. Upon seeing Purna, Swami gave her His photo and told her to worship Him, saying, "You don't have to come to Me anymore. There is no need to cross your house. Swami is in your own Puja room. There is no difference between Krishna Datta and Shirdi Sai. If you make a promise to Sai, it is as if you make a promise to Krishna Datta. There are no two Paramātmans. There is only one Paramātman." Purna was initially surprised that Swami had never spoken like this in all these years, but then she remembered the promise she had made to Shirdi Sai the previous day and praised Swami for His omniscience.
