Ok, I understand you better with that clarification. I think even Sai Baba would agree with you. If a person seems uninterested or resistant or negative to Sai Baba; then let it go. Sai Baba wishes Bhaktis to follow whatever form of God they feel dearest towards.The 'line' is simply that if you don't believe, then I respect that. As I indicated before, I have met what I would call fundamentalist Sai folk who were adamant they were right, you were wrong. So I disagree with your 'no one' idea. My line is respect of individual choice. Anyone of any stripe who takes that stance is annoying.
I thought you were saying Sai devotees that were braggarts for their Swami hadn't benefited at all. I said even those types of devotees 'are better now' than they would be with no Sai exposure at all. That is what I meant. I think the confusion was that you might have read my statement as also referring to those who feel no affiliation to Sai.But back to my 'I don't understand, your statement seemed to contradict itself... 'haven't benefited" on one hand, and then 'are better now' on the other. Which is it?
