Chapter 8:::
Baba seeking alms
Human birth is precious because one can reach God through wisdom [jnana]. The grace of God that helps us to surrender to Sai Baba is the best of all luck.Let us see how the One whose mere glance would make the beggar a king went from house to house in Shirdi seeking alms.
*He carried a tin pot on one hand and a square cloth [soli] on the other.Solid food was received in the soli and the liquid in the tin pot.Blessed are those in front of whose houses Baba stood and beseeched 'Oh! Lasi. Give me a piece of bread'. Food so collected was mixed up in a earthen pot in the masjid. Fakirs, cats, dogs etc. freely part took that prasad.
*During Baba's early days Bhayajabayi, the mother of Tatya Patil used to search for Baba in the jungles and meadows and feed Him with gorgeous meals. Baba did not forget this act till his mahasamadhi . He enormously helped Tatya and Tatya also called Baba as uncle.
*Mahalsapthi, Tatya and Baba used to sleep in the masjid, with their heads facing East, West and North respectively and legs meeting together. They would be discussing till late night. Thus, Tatya slept for fourteen years with Baba in the masjid.
*Baba liked Chandraben Marwari of Rahtha and his brother's son Kushal Chand. Some times, Baba used to go to Rahtha in a tonga [horse drawn carriage] They would accord reception with musical bands. Baba never went beyond Nimgon in South and Rahtha in West, but knew everything happening thousands of miles away.
