Shri Hari (God) will be certainly pleased, if you give water to the thirsty, bread to the hungry, clothes to the naked, and your verandah to strangers for sitting and resting

They do not care for other people, and are always self-absorbed.  Sai Baba was not of such a type.  He had no home, no wife, no progeny, nor any relations, near or distant.  Still, He lived in the world (society).

He lived in the world (society).  He begged His bread from four or five houses, always lived at the foot of the (Neem) tree, carried on wordly dealings, and taught all the people how to act, and behave in this world.  Rare are the Sadhus and Saints who, after attaining God-vision, strive for the welfare to the people.  Sai Baba was the foremost of these and, therefore, says Hemadpant.

Women and wealth are the two main obstacles in the way of our Paramartha (spiritual life); and Baba had provided in Shirdi two institutions, viz., Dakshina and Radha-Krishna-Mai for whenever they came to Him, He demanded Dakshina from them, and asked them to go to the 'SCHOOL' (Radha-Krishna-Mai's house).  If they stood these two tests well, i.e., if they showed that they were free from attachment for woman and wealth, their progress in spirituality was rapid and assured by Baba's grace and blessings.
