Incredible Saibaba!

Saibaba was a peculiar Avatar. Many considered him as a 'mad fakir'. Those who moved with him in close proximity for a considerable time could gauge some of his moods. Most of the time, Sai used to say, "Allah Malik". He asserts that he is only a humble servant of God. Most of the time, he used to sit alone in the Masjid facing the "Dhuni", the fire place. He used to feed the fire with fire wood. Night and day it will burn. It is the experience of his close devotees or followers that many of their sins are burnt away in the Dhuni. Baba was immeasurable. He was aware of whatever is going on the external world. Hence he could save a little baby that fell on the fire at a place quite a distance from Shirdi. He provided water to Nana during hot summer in Harischandra hill in the form of Bhil. He saved Minatai, daughter of Nana Saheb when she was undergoing labor pains. He sent one of his devotee with Udhi and a copy of Arati song in a timely manner so that it could be delivered in crucial time to save her. Many such examples abount in Sai Sat Charita. When dogs eat the food placed in the container, Baba never drove them away. He always taught his devotees that God dwells in all beings and animals. He never encouraged people to kill poisonous snakes. He used to say, "Nothing will harm us without God's will". People gave him "Biksha" in the form of roti or bread, milk or buttermilk, subji and Dhall. He used to go to the houses of some five devotees. Though he collected "Dakshina", he distributed every penny and nothing remained with him. He used to say, "Allah or Masudi Mai asked for the repayment of debt and hence i collect Dakshina only from those whom Allah points out. Sairam.
