Before Baba entered the Samadhi he made the devotees climb the steps, with his infinite power, one after another in the spiritual path. Although the physical body of Baba is not present now, the „Sai? ideal of omni presence is protecting all devotees.

Why all that? Sri Sai is present on the throne of every one?s soul who had kept complete faith on him. Sri Sai sits in the hearts of devotees who recite his name and listens their thoughts and words. Hemad Panth had such a wonderful a experience.

Those were the early days of Hemad Panth in Shirdi. One day Baba was very angry at the time of Aarthi. Baba was causing fear by his anger and curse. Hemad Panth who was watching all this thought in his mind “Wasn?t he a mad man?”. After some time Aarthi ritual was completed

That day by the evening Hemad Panth massaging Baba?s feet. Baba said, “I am not insane” while lovingly caressing his head.

Hemad Panth was extremely shocked at this. He respected with all sincerity, thinking in the mind “Who else is Sri Sai other than God himself for he is able to know the thoughts of mine?”

Not alone Hemad Panth. Many people in the beginning assumed Sri Sai, in the early years of his living in Shirdi, was a mad Fakir. Later on, they were driven back to senses and realized on many occasions the omniscient power of Baba.

Sri Sainathaya Namah.
