Fun With Sai
Deprived Area
An Italian devotee was kissing Baba’s feet so enthusiastically that He said, “Hey! Leave some for Me!”
Playing with…
A devotee suggested to Baba that He had the power to solve all India’s financial problems by transforming the Indian ocean into oil. Baba replied, “If I did, someone like you would probably toss a lighted match into it.”
Aim Higher
I overheard a follower say to Swami at darshan “I missed You.”
Quickly Swami shot back “How many times?”
Self Reliant
“How can we help you, Swami?” asked an eager devotee. “I don’t need any help. I am strong.” said Baba, cheerfully lifting up His tiny fist.
Just a wink in His eye
A childless lady came to Baba and begged Him to give her a child. He told her her problems were over, but she wanted to be completely sure and kept saying, “Oh please, Baba give me a child.” Baba winked broadly at the others in the room and said, “What, now?” and slapped one of the men on the back.
Second Chance
“How do you spell ‘wife’?” Baba asked a devotee in the interview room. “W-I-F-E—Worry Invited For Ever!” teased Baba. Then, seeing the downcast expression of the wife, He gently corrected himself. “No—Wisdom Invited For Ever”
Any Doubts
During an interview, Baba manifested a ring for a doubting scientist, and sent it round the room for inspection by all present. Then He transformed it into another, huge ring—about two inches across, and sent it around the room for a second time. Then He said kindly, “You would like it smaller, wouldn’t you?”—changed it back into a wearable size, and sent it back around. (This was a thrice-repeated and witnessed scientific experiment the devotee had to accept).
On Form
A male devotee once asked, “Swami, You have the power to choose any kind of body. You could have been six feet tall, with big muscles. Why didn’t You?” Baba looked hurt and protested mildly, “The ladies like this Form…”
Hidden Message
At a discussion, Sai Baba asked the question. “Do you know why a committee does not function?” He also provided the answer, “The very name COMMITTEE suggests only one thing: Come To Tea!”
