Baba on Tantric Tricks

Lord Meher, 1986 print edition, p. 6087 – At this time, a yogi named Satya Saibaba was becoming famous in South India, as he would materialize ash in his palm, jewels and other items for his devotees. In a letter dated March 2nd, 1963, a devotee had written describing Satya's powers.

Baba commented, "These are the powers of a tantric."

On another occasion, Ivy Duce wrote inquiring if Satya Saibaba was on the fourth plane and perhaps misusing his occult powers। Baba replied that he was a tantric (magician) and using tantric powers for his so-called "miracles," which were magical tricks.
