I have been to so many places of worship but I have never seen devotion like this

Last weekend I had the good fortune to visit Shirdi.

I went in a car with three other devotees and received the most wonderful darshan.

There Baba sat – like a King, while millions thronged and craned their necks to get a glimpse of their beloved Sai.

Yes, it was my destiny to go in comfort and get a VIP pass to stand right at Sai’s feet, but the feeling of all those who had walked miles, clutching a few dried up flowers, children and babes-in-arm, oh what an overwhelming sight!

Tears streamed ceaselessly down my cheeks as I witnessed their devotion.

I have been to so many places of worship but I have never seen devotion like this. What is it about this simple humble soul who came to this little village?

What every devotee had in common was the unconditional love for this unique being who chose to go around begging for his food.

At this point, I wish to tell a story from the Sat Charita about a devotee, Kaka Saheb Dixit.

He suffered from total restlessness of the mind. No matter what he did, no matter how much he prayed, his mind knew no peace.

One night he had a dream in which a Hindu goddess appeared and told him to go to Sai Baba.

Unfortunately, he awoke before confirming where he had to go. So he went to a few holy places, prayed and did the usual rites, but still he remained restless and knew no peace of mind.

In a subsequent dream, he learned that he should go to Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi.

He made all arrangements to undertake the journey. As soon as Kaka Saheb saw Baba his mind lost its restlessness.

He felt calm and at peace – what wonder! Baba said nothing, did nothing; just his glance was enough.

Yes, my dear fellow devotees, just to look upon him one feels that sense of calm.

Mental worries seem to disappear and we are left there standing steadfast with a power and strength to take on what this world has to offer.

It was a beautiful weekend in Shirdi. In the early hours of the morning, as Baba sat there patiently allowing his pujaris to bathe him with milk and rose water, it was truly a sight for the gods.

We were all there – Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Parsis – poor, rich, black and white.

But we all had one purpose. We all wanted the same thing. Our Sai Baba.

He has touched people from all over the world. The Incredible Sai Baba.
