As is in Shri Sai Satcharita, by Hemadpant .. Chapter XLV Page 234

Om Sai Shri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai

Baba replied - "I won't like to sleep up, leaving Mhalsapti down on the ground."  Then Kakasaheb said- "I will provide another plank for Mhalsapati too."  Baba said- "How can he sleep on the plank?  It is not easy to sleep up on the plank.  He, who has many good qualities in him, only can do so.  He who can sleep 'with eyes wide open' can effect that.  When I go to sleep I ask often Mhalsapati to sit by My side, place his hand on My heart and watch the 'chanting of the Lord's name' there, and if he finds Me sleepy, wake Me up.  He can't do even this.  He himself gets drowsy and begins to nod his head.  When I feel his hand heavy as a stone on My heat and cry out- 'Oh Bhagat', he moves and opens his eyes.  How can he, who can't sit and sleep well on the ground, and whose asana (posture) is not steady; and who is slave to sleep, can sleep high up on a plank?"

Bow to Shri Sai - Peace be to all
