Chapter 7:
Wonderful Incarnation - Behaviour of Sai Baba - His Yoga Practices - His All-pervasiveness - Leper Devotee’s service - Master Khaparde’s Plague-case - Going to Pandharpur.
Wonderful Incarnation:
Sai Baba knew all Yogic Practices. He was well-versed in the six processes including Dhauti: Stomach-cleaning by a moistened piece of linen 3" in breadth and 22 1/2" in length.
Khandayoga: separating His limbs and joining them again, and Samadhi, etc.
If you think that He(Baba) was a Hindu, He looked like a Yavan. If you think Him to be a Yavan, He looked like a pious Hindu. No one definitely knew whether He was a Hindu or a Mahomedan. He celebrated the Hindu festival of Rama-Navami with all due formalities, and at the same time permitted the ‘Sandal’ procession of the Mahammedens.
If you call Him Hindu, He always lived in the Masjid; if Mahomedan, He had always the Dhuni - sacred fire there, and the following things which are contrary to Mahomedan religion, i.e., grinding on the handmill, blowing of the conch and bells, oblation in the fire, Bhajan, giving of food, and worship of Baba’s Feet by means of ARGHYA (water) were always allowed there. If you think that He was a Mahomedan, the best of Brahmins and Agnihotris, leaving aside their orthodox ways, fell prostrate at His Feet. Those who went to make inquiries about his nationality, were dumb-founded and were captured by his darshana.
He who completely surrenders himself to the Lord, by getting rid of his egoism; and body - consciousness thus becomes one with Him, and has nothing to do with any questions of caste or nationality. Such a one as Sai Baba was, saw no difference between caste and caste and even beings. He took meat and fish with Fakirs, but did not grumble when dogs touched the dishes with their mouths.
Such a unique and wonderful incarnation was Sai Baba. On account of the merits in our past birth, we(saichildren)have the good fortune to sit at His Feet and enjoy Baba's Love.
Leper Devotee’s service:
Bhagoji (Baba Lover) was a sinner in his past brith. He was suffering from leprosy, his fingers had shrunk, his body was full of pus and smelling badly. Though outwardly he seemed so unfortunate, he was really very lucky and happy, for he was the premier servant of Baba, and got the benefit of His company.
