Sathya Sai Baba

I think history will judge Sai Baba harshly for his trickery. The
most disturbing part of the two videos was watching the expressions of
the faces of the children. It is one thing to trick an adult but quite
another to deceive a child. What does this guy get out of this? Is it
the money or the notoriety? Or both? The Children were bowing down to
him (and some of the adults) as he walked by.
It is so sad that we (including me) are so willing to give our
power up to any Tom, Dick or Harry just because we believe (without
merit) they have a special connection to the Divine. We have been
taught from birth to use our brain and ask questions - be "smart." But
God forbid if we apply this same paradigm to God, faith, or
Spirituality.
