Sai's intial years in Shirdi and his routine.

In the initial years of his stay in Shirdi, Sai contacted one Janakidas. He also interacted with one Devidas. These two are saintly people. He begged his food from five houses. Whatever he got from these five houses were collected by him in a cloth bag if it is "Roti or solid items. If it is liquid, Sai received them in a tin container. After collecting his "Biksha, he mixed them all and offered to Allah. He took his food from this and left the balance in a container. The woman who cleaned the mosque, took about 4 or five rotis for her family. Even dogs and cats ate the rest. Baba never drove these creatures for He visusalized Allah in all the beings. Some times, he will not be seen in the masjid. During the time, he used to visit a distant well far away from the mosque. He used to take bath, clean his internal system in a peculiar way. He used to vomit his intestine and wash it and dry it on a Jambu tree. After which he used to swallow them. These are Yogi's way. NONE should dare to copy this. He used to wander long inside the adjoining jungles and bushes. During those times, Bayaji Ma, a devout lady took great pain in searching for Sai, took rotis and subji on her head searching for him in every nook and corner. Finding Sai sitting like a statue on a rocky bed, she would spread the food on a plate and compelled him to partake it. Otherwise she would force feed him. Such was her love for Sai.(to be contd)
