Our Relationship with 'Channels' of Sai Baba

In this conversation, spiritual teacher and author, Gautam Sachdeva, talks about the phenomenon of 'channels' who receive messages from Sai Baba, and gives pointers so that devotees can be discerning and understand that very few channels are authentic. At the same time, they can ask themselves why they wish to approach a channel, how one must not confuse a channel for a Guru, the difference between the two, and how to be more sensitive to the authentic channels, who are instruments of Baba. Gautam also touches upon the Guru-Disciple relationship and the concept of doing Seva for one's Guru in whatever capacity one can.

[@ListeningEars555]

I can very well relate to this. Myself and my family went to a lady who was a channel and she was literally the end of our sufferings. We did our best to help her in every way we could. But there were a lot of people who would just come with questions and questions with no intention for self effort. She used to be drained literally. Even today she is so old but people are not considerate about her health and well being. We also call her Aai. Yes this happens. Whoever watches this please do some form of seva to the needy within your capacity and your problems are sure to go away.

[@priyankassoni7755]

[@narasimharao5577]

I am in New Jersey USA and interesting thing happened today(22.11.2022). I was watching interviews of Sri Nikhil with Sri Gautam Sachdeva for the past three to four days and suddenly yesterday 21.11.2022 I wanted to visit Sai Temple the next day. So today we visited the temple and there unknowingly I purchased the book ‘Sai Baba and Aai’. I am listening to the videos but never it came to my mind that the author of the said book is the interviewer and the person Aai he was referring to in the interviews was the subject of the book. When I realised it I was a bit pleasantly surprised. I did not know what to make out of it. Only conclusion is that Nikhil and Gautam were the chosen ones and of course I need mention anything about Aaiji.

[@quirkybs]

Just want to know.. Baba hinself guides at times. Even I considered myself lucky as I heard a voice out of nowhere in my 28years of existence. I was in a miserable situation but there came a divine voice when I was alone at home and I was assessing my life and i was deciding over and asking a particular question to myself when that voice said "Usko mat chodna". Believing this to infinity, I did everything to hold on to that thing and never to give up on Baba because the God himself had come to make the impossible possible as the problem I was facing was such. He also showed me various dreams which I couldn't comprehend ofcourse but I understood one thing that he was protecting. But one dream I vividly remember and it felt so realistic as if someone just said those words near my ears and ran away.. The words were "Jaise maine megha ko samjhaya tha".Which I felt was an indication that Baba would make the person understand by changing him/her internally like how he changed megha. Back to 2023, I came to know that the voice I heard, the dreams I had and my devotion saburi have all been betrayed. I was at loss then also I am at loss now too. Just wondering if everything was for real or just an illusion. The damage has been done and it is irreversible. Never imagined that I would be writing this for Baba.
