Who is Shirdi Sai Baba? – His own statements - 1

      I am god (Allah)

      I am Mahalaxmi; I speak the truth-sitting as I do at the Mosque.

      (I am Vittoba of Pandari)- Go, I am at Pandhari

      (I am Ganapathi; Mother), all offerings you made to Ganapati have reached Me.

      (I am Dattatreya); Are you puffed up? Where was male progeny in your destiny? (in answer to the prayer you offered before Datta at Gangapur) I tore up this body and gave you a son.

      (I am Laxmi Narain); Why go for Ganga elsewhere. Hold your palm at my feet. Here flows Ganga.

       (I am Maruti); My father dedicated me to Maruti.

      I make gestures before his temple telling him I am his brother.

      All that (viz, other Gods) is Allah (to Rohilla)

      Q; Baba, who are you? whence?

      SB: (in the absolute mood): I am the attributeless, Absolute, Nirguna. I have no name, no residence.

(Again in the mood of Duality)I got embroiled by Karma, and came to a body. (So) I got a name and abode. Dehi, i.e., the embodied, is my name; and the world is my abode, brahman is my father and Maya, my mother. As they interlocked, I got this body. The world is evanescent, mutable.

      I am Parvardigar (God). I live at Shirdi and everywhere.

      My age is lakhs of years.

      My business is to give blessings.

      All things are mine.

      I give everything to everyone.

      I am in Gangapur, Pandharpur and in all places. I am in every bit of the globe.

      All the universe is in me.

      Stick to the one whom you worship or rever. God will protect you soon.
