Remember Him (Sai Baba) always with love, for He was engrossed in doing good to all, and always abided in His Self.  To remember Him only is to solve the riddle of life and death.  This is the best and easiest of Sadhanas, as it involves no expenditure.  A little exertion here brings great rewards.  So as long as our senses are sound, we should, minute by minute, practise this Sadhana.  All other Gods are illusory; Guru is the only God.  If we believe in Sadguru's holy feet, He can change our fortune for the better.  If we serve Him nicely, we get rid of our Samsar.  We need not study any philosophy like the Nyaya and the Mimansa.  If we make Him our Helmsman, we can easily cross over the sea of all our pains and sorrows.  As we trust the helmsman in crossing rivers and seas, so we have to trust our Sadguru in getting over the ocean of worldly existence.  The Sadguru looks to the intense feeling and devotion of his devotees, endows them with knowledge and eternal bliss.

"There will never be any dearth or scarcity, regarding food and clothes, in any devotees' homes.  It is my special characteristic, that I always look to, and provide for the welfare of those devotees, who worship Me whole-heartedly with their minds ever fixed on Me.

One special peculiarity of Shirdi-pilgrimage was this, that none could leave Shirdi, without Baba's permission; and if he did, he invited untold sufferings, but if any one was asked to quit Shirdi, he could stay there no longer.  Baba gave certain suggestions or hints, when Bhaktas went to bid good-bye and take leave.  These suggestions had to be followed.  If they were not followed or were departed from, accidents were sure to befall them, who acted contrary to Baba's directions.

Another important idea occurred to Gopal Gund.  Just as he started the Urus or fair, he thought that he should put the Masjid in order.  So in order to carry out the repairs. jhe collected stones and got them dressed.  But this work was not assigned to him.  This was reserved for Nanasaheb Chandorkar, and the pavement work for Kakasaheb Dixit.

Once it so happened that Baba got very excited, caught a pole with one hand, and began to shake and uproot it, and with the other hand caught the neck of Tatya Patil.  He took by force Tatya's Pheta, struck a match set it on fire and threw it in a pit.  At that time, Baba's eyes flashed like burning embers.  None dared to look at Him.  All got terribly frightened.  Baba took out a rupee from his pocket and threw it there, as if it were an offering on an auspicious occasion.  Tatya also was much frightened.  None knew what was going to happen to Tatya, and none dared to interfere.  Bhagoji Shinde, the leper devotee of Baba, made a little boldly advance, but he was pushed out by Baba.

Tatya also was much frightened.  None knew what was going to happen to Tatya, and none dared to
interfere.  Bhagoji Shinde, the leper devotee of Baba, made a little boldly advance but he was pushed out by Baba.  Madhavarao was also similarly treated, he being pelted with brick-pieces.  So all those, who went to intercede, were similarly dealt with.But after some time, Baba's anger cooled down.

He sent for a shop-keeper, got from him an embroidered Pheta and Himself tied it on Tatya' head, as if he was being given a special honour.  All the people were wonderstruck to see this strange behaviour of Baba.
