• En ocasiones anteriores, cuando Dios se encarnó en la Tierra, la dicha de reconocerle en la encarnación sólo se concedió después de que la encarnación física hubiera abandonado el mundo, a pesar de las abundantes evidencias de Su Gracia. Pero, reflexionen un momento sobre esta Manifestación Sathya Sai; en esta era de materialismo desenfrenado, incredulidad agresiva e irreverencia, ¿qué es lo que le trae la adoración de millones de personas de todo el mundo? Te convencerás de que la razón básica es el hecho de que se trata de la Divinidad Supramundana en Forma Humana.

• Has the word propitiation any place in your Christianity?  In the faith of the New Testament it is central.  The love of God, the taking of human form by the Son, the meaning of the cross, Christ's heavenly intercession, the way of salvation-all are to be explained in terms of itand any explanation from which the thought of propitiation is missing will be incomplete, and indeed actually misleading, by New Testament standards
