"Baba, hearing that you show without any delay, the Brahman to all, who come over here, I too have come here all the way from my distant place.  I am much fatigued by the journey and if I get the Brahman from You, my troubles will be well-paid and rewarded."

"it is not easy to know Brahman, and especially, so for an avaricious man like you, who is always engrossed in wealth, wife and children.  Who will, in your quest of Brahma-Jnana, satisfy you, who won't give away even a pice in charity?"

If fact, there is no person more liberal and benevolent than a Sadguru, like Sai Baba.  He cannot be compared to the Chintamani jewel (the Philosopher's stone which satisfies desires), the Kalpataru (the Celestial Tree which fulfils our desires) or the Kamadhenu (the Celestial Cow which yields what we desire to eat), for they give us only what we desire; but the Sadguru gives us the most precious thing that is inconceivable and inscrutable  (The reality).

Man does not generally think of God, but when difficulties and calamities overtake him he turns to Him and prays for relief.  If his evil actions have come to an end, God arranges his meeting with a Saint who gives him proper directions regarding his welfare.

He saw in the window a wellknown Marathi book named 'Nath-Bhagwat."  This is a commentary by the Saint Eknath, on the eleventh Skandha (chapter) of the bigger Sanskrit work, the Bhagwat.  At the suggestion or recommendation of Sai Baba, Messrs. Bapusaheb Jog and Kakasaheb Dixit read daily in Shirdi, Bhagwad-Gita with its Marathi commentary named Bhawartha-Deepika or Jnaneshwari (A dilogue between Krishna and His friend devotee Arjuna) and Nath Bhagwat (A dilogue between Krishna and His servant devotee Uddhava) and also Eknath's other big work. viz., Bhawartha Ramayana.  When devotees came to Baba and asked Him certain questions. He sometimes answered them in part, and asked them to go and listen to the readings of the above-mentioned works, which are the main treatise of Bhagwat Dharma.  When the devotees went and listened, they got full and satisfactory replies to their questions.

"What! Mr. Sathe read for a week only and got a reward;  and I am reading it for forty years with no result!  His seven days' stay here becomes fruitful while my seven years' stay (1910 to 1917) goes for nothing.  Like a Chatak bird I am ever waiting for the Merciful Cloud (Baba) to pour its nectar on me; and bless me with His instructions."

Like a loving mother forcing bitter, but wholesome medicines down the throats of her children for the sake of their health, Sai Baba imparted spiritual instructions to His devotees.  His method was not veiled or secret, but quite open.
