Once, Hemadpant had eaten his full in this company.  When Baba offered him a cup of butter-milk.  Its white appearance pleased him, but he was afraid that there was no space inside for it.  He however took a sip which proved very tasty.

Though He looked calm and quiet as the placid sea, He was deep and unfathomable.  Who can describe His ineffable nature?  He regarded men as brothers; women as sisters and mothers.  He was a perfect and perpetual celibate, as everybody knows.  May the understanding (knowledge), we got in His company, last long unto death.  Let us ever serve Him, with whole-hearted devotion to His Feet.  Let us see Him (god) in all beings, and let us ever love His name.

Blessed is Sai's life, blessed is His daily routine.  His ways and actions are indescribable.  Sometimes, He was intoxicated with Brahmanand (divine joy), and at other times content, with Self knowledge.  While doing so many things sometimes, He was yet unconcerned with them.  Though, He seemed at times quite actionless (doing nothing), He was not idle of dozing; He always abided in His own Self.

Baba's dormitory has been already described.  One day He slept in the Masjid and on the next, in the Chavadi (a small building containing a room or two near the Masjid).  He slept in Masjid and in the Chavadi on alternate days.  This alternate sleeping in both these buildings went on till Baba's Mahasamadhi.

I was overjoyed, when I recovered my stolen property and being infatuated, I forget all about my vow.  Then when I was at Colaba, one night, I saw Sai Baba in my dream.  This reminded me of my promised visit to Shirdi.  I went to Goa and from there wanted to start for Shirdi, by taking a steamer to Bombay, en route.

He told me that an Avalia (saint) by name Sai lives in Shirdi, Kopergaon Taluka.  Make vow to Him and give up any food that you like best and say to Him mentally that 'I have given up eating that food, till I take Your darshana."  Then I took the vow and gave up eating rice and said- "Baba I will eat it after recovering my property and then after taking Your darshana."

In Spiritual matters or endeavours, sectarianism is the greatest bar to our progress.  Those, who believe that God is without form, are heard.  saying, that to believe that God is with the form is an illusion; and that the Saints are only human beings.  Then , why should they (people) bend their heads before them and offer Dakshina?
