As is in Shri Sai Satcharita, by Hemadpant .. Chapter XXXIII Page 181

Om Sai Shri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai

In 1971, Haribhau Karnik of Dahanu (Thana District) came to Shirdi, on the Guru-pournima day (in the month of Ashadha), and worshipped Baba with all formality.  He offered clothes and Dakshina, and after taking Baba's leave through Shama, got down the steps of the Masjid.  Then he thought that he should offer one more rupee to Baba, and was just turning to climb up, when Shama informed him by signs, that as he had got Baba's leave, he should go and not return.  So he started home.  On his way, when he went into the temple of Kala Rama at Nasik for darshana, the Saint Narsing Mahraj, who used to sit just inside the big door of the temple, left his Bhaktas there came to Haribhau, caught his wrist and said- "Give me my one rupee".  Karnik was surprised; he paid the rupee most willingly and thought, that Sai Baba recovered the rupee, which he intended in his mind to give, through, shows how they work in unison.

This story illustrates the fact that all Saints are one; and shows how they work in unison.

Om Sai Shri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai

I thought, that, what a man might give, does not last long; and it is always imperfect.  But what My Sircar (God) gives, lasts to the end of time.  No other gift from any man can be compared to His.  My Sircar says 'Take, take.'  but everybody comes to Me and says 'Give, give.'

Let us bow now before the great Saints.  Their merciful glances will destroy mountains of sins and do away with all the evil taints of our character.  Their casual talk gives us good teachings, and confers on us imperishable happiness.  Their minds do not know any difference such as 'This is ours and that is yours'.  Such differentiation never arises in their minds.  Their debts (obligations) will never be repaid by us in this birth, as well as in many future births.

Om Sai Shri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai

Really thi Jiva (human soul) transcends the three qualities viz., Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas, but being deluded by Maya, he forgets his nature which is 'Existence-knowledge-bliss', and thinks that he is the doer and enjoyer; and thus entangles himself in endless miseries and does not know the way of deliverance.  The only way of deliverance is the Loving Devotion towards the Guru's feet.  The great Player, or Actor, Lord Sai, has delighted His Bhaktas and transformed them into Himself (His nature).

Sai knows fully the desire of His devotees and fulfills the same.  Hence they get, what they want and are grateful.  So, we invoke Him and prostrate ourselves before Him.  Forgetting all our faults, let Him free us from all anxieties.  He who being overcome with calamities remembers and prays Sai thus, will get his mind calmed and pacified, through His grace.

This Sai-the ocean of mercy, says Hemadpant, favoured him and the result of this, is the present work-Sai-Satcharita.  Otherwise, what qualifications had he to undertake this enterprise?  But as Sai took all the responsibility, Hemadpant felt no burden, nor any care about this.  When the powerful Light of Knowledge was there to inspire his speech and pen, why should he entertain any doubt or feel any anxiety?  Sai got the service in the form of this book done by him; this is due to the accumulation of his merits, in the past births and, therefore, he thinks himself fortunate and blessed.

Remembering His Feet, Brahmins from holy places come to Him and read scriptures and chant the Gayatri mantra in His presence.  We, who are weak and without any merits, do not know what Bhakti is; but we know this much, that though all others may leave us, Sai won't forsake us.  Those, whom He favours, get enormours strength, discrimination between the Unreal and the Real and knowledge.
