Now, readers, we have certainly to thank Hemadpant.  He drank the cup of butter-milk, but has supplied us with sufficient quantity of nectar in the form of Baba's Leelas.  Let us drink cups and cups of this nectar and be satisfied and happy.

On seeing his faltering attitude, Baba said- "Drink it all, you won't get any such opportunity, hereafter."  
He drank it off then, but found that Baba's words were prophetic, for He passed away soon.

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.
