Professor R.D. Ranade says :- "The Ishopanishad is quite a small Upanishad: and yet it contains many hints which show an extraordinarily piercing insight.  Within the short compass of 18 verses, it gives a valuable mystical description of the Atman, a description of the ideal sage, who stands unruffled in the midst of temptations and sorrows; and adumbration of the doctrine of Karma-Yoga as later formulated, and finally a reconciliation of the claims of knowledge and works.  The most valuable ideas, that lies at the root of the Upanishad, is that of a logical synthesis between the two opposities of knowledge; and works, which are both required according to the Upanishad to be annulled in a higher synthesis."

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.
