Sai Baba often siad that-let His man (Devotee) be at any distance, a thousand koss away from Him, he will be drawn to Shirdi like a sparrow, with a thread tied to its feet.

It was the habit of some devotees to take to Baba some religious books, of which they wanted to make a special study; and to receive the same back from Him, after they were touched and consecrated by Him.  While reading daily such books, they felt that Baba was with them.

Hemadpant has given us a novel form of worship.  Let us , he says, use hot water in the form of tears of joy to wash the Sadguru's feet, let us besmear His body with sandle-paste if pure love, let us cover His body with the cloth of true faith, let us offer eight lotuses in the form of our eight Satwik emotions and fruit in the form of our concentrated mind; let us apply to His head bukka (black-powder) in the form of devotion, and tie the waistband of Bhakti, and place our neck (head) at his toes.

Let us, therefore, worship the Sadguru and pray to him to give us the true vision, which is nothing but God-Vision.

It is only the Sadguru that opens the eyes of our understanding and enables us to see things in their true light, and not as they appear.

Just as we mistake a rope or a garland for a serpent, on account of darkness, we always see the phenomena, i.e., things as they outwardly appear, and not the Noumenon, which underlies all the visible things.

All the things, that we see in the universe are nothing but a play of Maya-the creative power of the Lord.  These things really do not really exist.  What really exists in the Real Absolute.
