It follows from this that he, who sings the Leelas of God's Bhaktas, is equally or more dear to Him, than one who sings the Leelas of God only.

For seeing Brahman one has to give five things, i.e., surrender Five things viz.  (1) Five Pranas (vital forces), (2) Five senses (five of action and five of perception (3) mind, (4) intellect and (5) ego.  This path of Brahma-Jnana of self-realization is 'as hard as to tread on the edge of a razor'

Sadgurus like Sai Baba open our  (eyes of the ) intellect and show us the divine beauties of the Self, and fulfil our tender longings of devotion.  When this is done, our desire for sense-objects vanishes, twin fruits of Viveka (discrimination) and vairagya (dispassion or non-attachment) come to our hands; and knowledge sprouts up even in the sleep.  All this we get , when we come in contact with Saints (Sadguru), serve them and secure their love.  The Lord, Who fulfils the desires of His devotees, comes to our aid, remove our troubles and sufferings, and makes us happy.  This progress or development is entirely due to the help of the Sadguru, who is regarded as the Lord Himself.  Therefore, we should always be after the Sadguru, hear His stories, fall at His Feet and serve Him.

The Sadguru is like a monsoon cloud.  He pours down profusely, i.e., scatters widely his nectar-like teachings.  These, we should enjoy and assimilate to our heart's content; and then serve others with them, without any reserve.  This rule should apply, not only to what he teaches in our walking state, but to the visions he gives us in our dreams.  To quote an instance: Budhakowshik Rishi published his celebrated Rama-raksha Stotra, which he had seen in his dream.

The Lord's Grace is the most essential thing.  When the Lord is pleased with any body, He gives him Viveka and Vairagya; and takes him safe beyond the ocean of mundane existence, 'The Self cannot be gained by the study of Vedas, nor by intellect, nor by much learning.  He, whom the self chooses, gains It.  To him the Self reveals Its nature,' says the Katha Upanishad.

Om Sai Shri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai

It is said that though God created various sorts of creatures, He was not satisfied, for none of them was able to know and appreciate His work.  So he had to create a special being - Man, and endow him with a special faculty, viz Knowledge; and when He saw that man was able to appreciate His Leela marvellous work and intelligence, He was highly pleased and satisfied.
