Calling Sathya Sai Baba a 'social worker' is akin to calling Jesus a shepherd and Krishna a cowherd! Of course they are that, but also much more! Swami definitely spent time, energy and resources in constructing these institutions but that was only to give a chance to thousands of devotees to discover and learn the Truth (Sathyam)! He came in human form to establish Sathya and hence the name, Sathya Sai! Multiple incidents and anecdotes show how He tirelessly strove for this alone - anything else that we think about Him is a reflection of who we are not who He is!
