61. For the future, arrangements were entrusted to a Brahmin named Dixit16 who would perform the puja and a devotee by the name Sagun17 looked after the management. This is the story of the padukas. 62. Such are the unaffected saints, who are truly incarnations of God, and appear on earth for the salvation and benefit of mankind. 63. Some days later, a strange thing happened. Listeners who listen with respect, will marvel about it. 64. There was a seller of beetle-leaves by the name of Mohideenbhai. A dispute arose between him and Baba which flared up into a wrestling bout. 65. Both were skilled wrestlers but destiny prevails over strength. Mohideen proved stronger. Baba being weaker lost. 66. After this, he took a decision. Baba completely changed his attire. He put on a kafni and tied a loin cloth. He also wrapped a piece of cloth around his head. 67. He used a gunny bag or sack for his seat and also as his bedding. He wore torn and worn-out rags and was content with them. 68. Sai would always say: “Poverty is better than Kingship, far better than riches. The Lord is the befriender of the poor”. 69. Gangagir also passed through the same phase. He was very fond of gymnastics. Once while engaged in a

wrestling bout, he also had a similar feeling of dispassion. 70. At the opportune moment he heard the words of a realised person: “One must realise that the body should be serving God and should wear out in the service of God”. 71. While still engaged in wrestling, he heard these words of grace. Because of them, he discarded the worldly life and sought the path of spirituality. 72. Near Puntambe, on an island in the middle of the river, stands Buva’s math, where some of his disciples also stayed to serve him. 73. Enough about him. Later on, Sainath only answered questions put to him and would never talk to anybody on his own. 74. During the day, he would sit under the neem tree; and, sometimes, under the shade of a protruding branch of the Babul tree by the side of a stream, near the outskirts of the village. 75. Sometimes he would wander about at his pleasure during the day, or in the afternoon or in the early evening, near Nimgaon, a mile or so away. http://www.saileela s.org/books/ sss/index.
