- Lord Krishna has said that ‘the Saint is My soul, My living image, I am He or He is My pure form (Being).’
- This in-describable Shakti or Power of God, known as Pure Existence, Knowledge and Bliss, incarnated in the form of Sai in Shirdi.
- The Shruti (Taitiriya Upanishad) describes Brahman as Bliss. This we read or hear daily in the books, but the devout people experienced this Brahman or Bliss in Shirdi.
- Though He looked embodied (as having the form), He was really dis- embodied, emotionless, unattached and internally free.
- Baba, the support of all, required no prop or support (Asan) from anybody. He always used a piece of sack-cloth for His seat, which was covered with a small beautiful bed by His bhaktas and has a bolster placed by them, as a rest to His back.
- The Ganges on its way to the sea, cools and refreshes the creatures affected with heat, gives life to the crops and trees, and quenches the thirst of many. Similarly Saints (Souls) like Sai, while they live their own life, give solace and comfort to all.
- Baba was extremely forgiving, never irritable, straight, soft, tolerant and content beyond comparison.
- Baba respected the feelings of His devotees and allowed them to worship Him as they liked. Some waved Chamara or fans before Him, some played on musical instruments, some washed His hands and Feet, some others applied scent and chandan, some gave betel nut with leaves and other things, and some others offered naivedya.
- Though He looked like living in Shirdi, He was present everywhere.
- This all-pervasiveness of His way daily experienced by His devotees.
- Our humble prostration to this all-pervasive Sadguru.
