GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM AT ONCE

Baba said, "I am the Controller - the wirepuller of the show of this Universe"

in Sri Sai Satcharitra, ch. III.

The people who visited Shirdi always emphasise His love and protection and about

the spiritual exaltation in His presence. A devotee recalls "As we arrived at

Shirdi, we felt safe that nothing could harm us. When I went and sat in His

presence, I always forgot my pain, and indeed the body itself, and all mundane

cares and anxieties. Hours would pass while I sat blissfully unaware of their

passage. It was an extraordinary experience shared I believe by all His

devotees. He was all in all and the all for us."

Another devotee of Baba, Rao Bahadur Dhumal, an advocate says "every devotee

feels that his experiences are his own and are given to him for his spiritual

and temporal benefit and not for ventilation or publication. The best way of

understanding Baba is to experience Him oneself. Where is Baba gone? He is

still alive and active, more active, if it were possible than He was, before

His Mahasamadhi. Anyone who is in real earnest can get in touch with Him today

and at once. But one who will not do that but seeks experiences at second or

third hand will get very poor stuff.

Sai Baba’s powers were immense. He knew the past, present and future of a

devotee to the last detail. He had powers over the elements of nature. In one

instance, He stopped a raging storm to help a devotee. At another time, a fire

had engulfed the Masjid and the flames had leapt upto the roof, possibly cause

of fire was the Dhuni kept in the Masjid. The devotees were panic stricken, but

would not move without Baba’s permission. A few moments later, the flames were

brought down by Baba by beating the fire with His stick. He had no need to

douse the fire with water. Baba operated in the physical world in His physical

body, while at the same time operating in the spiritual world. He would travel

in His invisible body over great distances of space.

Baba did not suffer from the illusion that He was the physical body. Hence He

was not bound by the limitations of a physical body. But His devotees who

utterly depended upon Him for refuge and help were apprehensive and worried as

to what they should do when He was no more physically present. Baba replied

emphatically "wherever and whenever you think of me I shall be with you". He

has also said "I shall be active and vigorous even after leaving their earthly

body.My shrine will bless my devotees and fulfil their needs.My relics

will speak from the tomb". "I am ever living to help those who come to me,

surrender and seek refuge in me."

(from the book ‘The Eternal Sai’)
