Death of Sathya Sai Baba has caused mourning among millions of his devotees. His followers have been flocking to have a last glimpse of his dead body and pay their last homage.
What makes me feel even more sad than actual death of Sathya Sai Baba, are the comments which people have been posting on TOI/Rediff/XYZ sites about Sathya Sai Baba's followers. Sathya Sai Baba had followers like Sachin and his wife, Sunil Gavaskar and his wife; and people have been commenting on how backward Sathya Sai Baba's followers are in this modern age etc. etc.
Guys, each of us believe someone or some faith. Even atheism is a belief, that has cost a lot to humanity (yes Stalin and Mao were Atheists) and that shouldn't deter a atheist from following his belief. Every belief has some good things and some not so good things.....it is the followers who sometimes are more inclined towards the not so good ones. It is the followers who twist and turn the not so good beliefs into demons which whole humanity has to deal with.
Let others believe what they want to and you believe what you think is the truth. Your belief, just because it sounds cool or doesn't sound old, is no better than others belief.
In a nutshell, please learn to respect everyone's belief because that's what the world needs right now; much much more than your coolness or modernity!
