The figure of Baba faded and dissolved in the thin air. In the place where Baba was seated, instead of Baba. the figure of his Guru Golap swami appeared.. Golap Swami used to wear always ochre coloured dress. Even now he appeared in the same ochre coloured dress. The ochre coloured dress worn by Baba now how correctly fits in for Golap swami. Now the secrete behind Baba wearing ochre coloured dress was revealed. Tears rolled down from the eyes of Sastri. Baba tapped on the cheek of of Sastri who has forgetten himself and thinking in his mind at the same time “I regretted about the death of my Guru Golap Swami . He is not dead. He has changed his form and now he is in the form and figure of Baba. That is all. How is that I didn’t realize this so far and so long. My Guru has appeared in his previous form now to make me feel that I and Baba are one and the same.”
Baba came near Sastri with a smile on his face. He looked at Sastri as if to make him feel now that he (sastri) will not have any objection to give Dakshina to him and stretched his hand towards sastri. The hand which he refused to stretch before Sastri to enable him to read his palm, now stretched to accept his Dakshina. Sastri poured all the Dakshina he had, in the hands of baba. The Dakshina coins were wet because of his tears. The tears rolling down from his eyes had wetted the coins The thought that Mosque and temple are different one, disappeared from his mind completely. He started worshipping Baba thereafter. The sorrow in his mind because of the maha Samadhi of his Guru Golap swami disappeared and he got the peace of mind thinking that only he (Guru Golap Swami )has become Sai Baba now. What to talk about the sweet words of Baba? On several occcasions Baba will speak through his eyes. He will speak through silence. He will speak through words. What to say about the words that he chooses to speak? They will be sweet to the ears as if immersed in honey. He will not converse in a loud voice. He will speak gently. It will appear that he speaks as if thinking that the words he speaks should not suffer with pain,
It will be not only short, sweet and simple but will carry deep meaning and intention. Outwardly it will appear as it had no meaning, but in the aftermath of it, it will expand with lot of deep meanings. What Baba spoke were all Gita. His talk will make us overtly understand the morals behind it. It will, in the dark minds of those who listen to them. will bring light in their minds. His speech will be understood both by literates and illiterates. They will be surprised to know about doctrines which they will not get even if they read thousands of books in his talks.
The illiterates will consider his speech as Veda’s doctrines and would like to lead a life accordingly. Baba through his speech, actions, and the leelas performed by him, change people to lead a very high standard life. Even now he continues to do that. His wish is to make all people live in the right path and make this world a heaven for them. My loved ones, Don’t become a slave to Maya. Deeply think about those which is permanent and which provides permanent joy. Go in the same path and obtain the permanent joy. If you suffer because of the actions of your previous birth, recite my name Sai, Sai continuously without break. I have incarnated myself in this world only to relieve you from all your sufferings due to your actions in your previous birth. I don’t have any other work except relieving you from your sufferings. The fortunate ones only will worship me. Sufferings will not touch those who have surrendered themselves completely to me. This is the promise given to those who surrender themselves completely to him by Baba. Baba never allowed his devotees to suffer. Baba’s divine blessings provide to his devotees benefits both in this world as well as in heaven. Baba never allowed his devotees to physically (bodily)torture themselves in the name of Bhakthi. He wished that his devotee should love him deep through his heart. The real worship is cleansing the mind from the six impurities(kama, krotha, loba. Moha, matha and Matcharya). He should be MANTHTHUKKAN MAASILAN AATHAL as told by Thiruvalluvar.
Once a devotee visited Shirdi along with a doctor. That doctor had not visited shirdi so far. He never worshipped any other God other than Lord Rama. And he was very firm in that principle. His conviction was “why should I have any other deity when I have my dear deity Rama.” Truly speaking he did not have any desire to visit Shirdi. Only his friend who is a Sai devotee compelled and brought him along with him. The Sai devotee told in unequivocal terms to the doctor that nobody will compel him to worship Baba or that you should accept him. I give my guarantee on that. Is it not that we are both friends? When I visit Baba you are accompanying me as my friend. That is all. This action of yours is just to honour our friendship. I already knew that your dear God is Rama only and You do not worship any other God other than Rama. Then why should you hesitate to come along with me to the mosque? The doctor felt that the argument advanced by his friend is correct. That doctor walked along with his friend towards the mosque. They came close to the Mosque, The doctor ran towards Baba all alone neglecting his friend . What he is going to do? Everyone was looking at him in bewilderment…
