Saibaba Life

Sai Baba gave different but proper advice regarding money to those seeking self -realisation and to those leading a secular life. How ever his advice was not just a show of words but preaching after practice. for instance his renunciation of all sensuous delight and gratification is well knoen . He used to live in the open under a neem tree or in the dilapidated masjid or chavadi. His dress was a patched , long robe and piece of cloth tied on the head . His seat was a torn piece of sack cloth only .for food he used to beg around in the village . what better renunciation could there be than this?
Later on sai Baba 's fame spread far and wide , devotees startedpouring in great numbers. Some ardent devotees prepared a seat with soft cushions , decorated him with ornaments of diamonds and pearls and cast around his body embroidered silk shawls but Baba had no fascination for these. On the contrary many a time he used to pull them out and throw them away on anger. similarly ,every day hundred of rupees worth cash would be collected as a gift to baba , but he never kept a single rupee for himself. Insteadhe would distribute all the money thus received so that by the evening nothing was left with him

Salutations

My salutaions to the lotus feet of the samardha sadguru shri shirdi sai baba .
Strangers are the ways of shirdi sai Baba in dragging his devoteed not only to him but also to his trusted messengers who have dedicated themselves to the spread of sai tatwa or Sai philosophy all over the length and breadth of our sacred motherland.
sai Baba himself followed this principle of talking less. he nver gave long lectures but gave his devotess suitable experiences by narrating short stories
