Sai Baba has declared that He has come to give blessings to people, temporal and spiritual, and that He drew them to Him under various pretexts. Some go to Him on their own accord, not realising that it is really Baba who is pulling them to Him.
Lord Sai Nath says "Four sorts of men are drawn to me. They are (1) the distressed, (2) those seeking knowledge, (3) those wanting worldly objects and (4) those who desire perfect wisdom."
The distressed people are the earliest to approach Baba. But once, distress pesters them, they feel helpless and seek the aid of a Higher Power. Distress rouses hope and faith. When distress enters, all fancied doubts fly and leave the man with a ready
receptive heart and make him rush to Sai Baba, Though in the early days of Baba many at Shirdi considered Baba as a 'Mad Fakir', Baba's goodness converted a few to believe Him. Baba's medical help for leprosy, T.B. etc. was miraculous and effective. He kept on chanting 'Hari - Hari' and soon He got 'SAKSHATKARA' (as He Himself told H.S. Dixt).
When Divine Grace had come to Him fully, then Divine Powers manifested in Sai Baba. Thereafter, with His 'UDHI', He cured diseases and relieved troubles. Baba said 'I say things here and they happen there.' For Sai-Devotees this is an everyday experience. The moment we Sai remember, help always comes. Therefore we consider Baba as GOD. For a person who has
completely surrendered to Sai-Consciousness, there is always SAI-JOY.
Dear Sai-Brothers and Sai-Sisters : All the 24 hours of the day and night, Baba is actively working for the benefit of every one who comes to Him or whoever prays Him. SARVABHUTA HITERATAH (interested in the welfare of all creatures) is the description of our GURU-GOD SAI BABA. Let us pray to Him and seek His help in all respects - spiritual as well as temporal.
Let us remember that Sainath is close behind our thoughts and He rushes to our rescue whenever we call for His help. Have faith and surrender completely and then you can cross the ocean of life safely. In our day to-day life we must develop universal love to our brothers and sisters in this world.
