the same basic standards of behavior we expect from ordinary people.

i agree with u Serena.  it 'blows my mind' that soooooo many have gotten away with cruel acts.  i was 'taken advantage of sexually' by a minister when i was young ( a few other girls too)....what happened to him ?  not much.  he was fired by the church...no jail time...and went on to another career.

i am not going to criticize this 'latest version of sai baba' .....but this fella sure makes me 'scratch my head'.... he was out for grandeur from the start when he announced that he was the reincarnation of 'the original Sai Baba', throughout his life, grandeur, up until he died a billionare....

we do not see True Teachers of God driving rolls royces.....performing magic tricks....announcing that they are reincarnations of Christ, etc

Amma is not like this....Parmahansa Yogananda was/is not like this....Christ.....Mother Theresa....Swami Rama Tirtha...Saint Francis...Sri Yukteswar......etc.   these Saints are/were modest in all ways.....in their actions, lifestyle, and when they speak to us about God.....

when one is ready for help in their search for God....use your common sense...use your intuition....if one is unsure about a Teacher ask someone whom you trust for their help/advice.  when using intuition....look into the Masters eyes and see what feelings come to you. 

when i look into Christs eyes....or Paramahansa Y's....i get butterfly's in the tummy feelings....upward lifting feelings...my heart soars......i feel Love....i feel drawn to them. 

when i look at the fella's eyes who we are speaking about in this post....i get scared...restless...repelled from him and i see no Light in the eyes.

i hope and pray for this fella's devotees....pray and hope they do not prolong God by mourning his death for the rest of their incarnations,,,,rather, they move on and find other True Teachers of God.   i pray and hope.....that they do not pass on a Teacher just because the Teacher is no longer in body...
