SAI's QUOTE -: SAI LOVE CHARITY..WE MUST WALK THE SAME PATH

            LEELA OF SAI

            Charity was very close to Baba's heart .All His life, all He possessed was given away in charity to His devotees . Thousands of rupees were given to Baba over His lifetime as DAKSHINA but Baba in turn gave away every penny to his devotees . When Baba passes away , it is said that despite having received a huge amount of money as DAKSHINA , only a meager amount Rs 16/- was found in His possession . Such was Baba's love for charity . And this charity was not through money alone as He also encourage the giving away of food as the best form of charity. So wonderful was Baba's love that when He decided to distribute food , He cooked with His own loving hands and fed all His devotees to their hearts content . Right from buying the ingredients ,to grinding , pounding , chopping and cooking .He did it all Himself . Then, the food cooked by Baba was consecrated by making an offering to God and finally served to His children . Knowing Baba's love for charity , we , as His children must walk the same path and do the same service .

          SAI taught in His special way that one must first offer food to the Lord before partaking of it . And it would be even more gratifying and conducive to the individual if , after making an offering to God , the poor , the needy and the disable are offered a meal . 

    Where food itself is HARI, one who eats it is HARI and he who enjoys its taste is also HARI , then he who serves this food is truly blessed . Blessed , Blessed is he who eats it and he who gives it .
