What was then wanted, and is still now wanted, is the whole-hearted devotion to Baba.  All our senses, organs, and mind should co-operate in worshipping and serving Baba.  It is no use, in engaging some organs in the worship and deflecting others.  If a thing like worship or meditation is to be done, it ought to be done, with all our mind and soul.

Bow to Shri Sai - Peace be to all

"You need not go far or anywhere in search of Me.  Barring your name and form, there exists in you, as well as in all beings, a sense of Being or Consciousness of Existence.  That is Myself.  Knowing this, you see Me inside yourself, as well as in all beings.  If you practise this, you will realize all-pervasiveness, and thus attain oneness with Me."

"He who loves Me most, always sees Me.  The whole world is desolate to him without Me,  he who tells no stories but Mine; he ceaselessly meditates upon Me and always chants My name.  I feel indebted to him who surrenders himself completely to Me, and ever remembers Me.  I shall repay his debt by giving him salvation (self-realization).  I am dependent on him, who thinks and hungers after Me and who does not eat anything, without first offering it to Me.  He, who thus comes to Me, becomes one with Me. becomes one with Me, just as a river gets to the sea and becomes merged (one) with it.  So leaving out pride and egoism and with no trace of them, you should surrender yourself to Me, Who is seated in your heart."

"How wonderful is the discourse of the nine Nathas on Bhakti or devotion.  But at the same time, how difficult it is to put it into practice!  The Nathas were perfect, but is it possible for fools like us to attain the devotion as delineated by them?  We won't get it, even after several births, then how are we to get salvation?  It seems that there is no hope for us."  Madhavrao did not like this pessimistic attitude of Kakasaheb.  He said- "It is a pity that one who by his good luck got such a jewel (Guru) as Baba, should cry out so disparagingly;  if he has unwavering faith in Baba, why should he feel restless?  The Bhakti of the Nathas may be strong and powerful, but is not ours' loving and affectionate?  And has not Baba told us authoritatively that remembering and chanting Hari's and Guru's name confers salvation?  Then, where is the cause for fear and anxiety"?

I was standing in a deep sea in waist-deep water.  There, I saw Sai Baba all of a sudden.  He was sitting on a beautiful throne studded with diamonds, with His Feet in water.  I was most pleased and satisfied with the Form of Baba.  The vision was so realistic, that I never thought that it was a dream.  Curiously enough, Madhavrao was also standing there.  He said to me feelingly - "Anandrao, fall at Baba's Feet."  I rejoined- "I also with to do so, but His Feet are in water, how can I place my head on them?  I am helpless."  Hearing this he said to Baba "Oh Deva, take out Your Feet which are under water."  Then Baba immediately took out His Feet.  I caught them without delay and bowed to them.  On seeing this, Baba blessed me saying- "Go now, you will attain your welfare, there is no cause for fear and anziety."

Those who lovingly sing Baba's fame and those, who hear the same with devotion, both become one with Sai.

"He who carps and cavils at others, pierces ME in the heart and injures Me, but he that suffers and endures, pleases Me most."
