When a man takes a plunge into the sea, he gets the merit of bathing in all the Tirthas and sacred rivers.  Similarly when a man takes refuge at the feet of the Sadguru, he gets the merit of bowing to the Trinity, i.e., Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh and also Para-Brahma.  Victory be unto Shri Sai, the Wish-fulfilling tree and the Ocean of Knowledge, who gives us self-realization.

"Do not eat yourself, but give them to your junior wife.  This Amra-Leela (mango miracle of 4 mangoes) will give her four sons and four daughters."  This was done and ultimately in due course it was found Baba's words turned out true, and not those of the astrologers.

There is no difference between Guru and God.  He who sees any difference in them, sees God nowhere.   Now leaving aside all ideas of difference we should regard Guru and God as one, and if we serve our Guru as stated above, Lord (God) will be certainly pleased and while purifying our minds will give us self-realization.
