SAI's QUOTE -: SAI's MANTRA WAS THAT HE IS OURS AND WE ARE HIS OWN .

               LEELA OF SAI 

              The uplifting power of Lord Dattatreya was working through the Fakir in SAI BABA from the very beginning but it acknowledgement come only in 1905-09 . Lord Dattatreya remains dorment and unintelligible to ignorant minds and manifests before only those who ardently and frantically search and apprehend his presence .BABA's command ,' you look to me and I shall look to you ,' is the ordaining of Shri Guru Geeta . Devotees come to understand that this is exactly the version of GURU GEETA phrase 'Dhyanamoolam Gurormurti ' . Dedication and surrender to Guru is the essence of Guru Upasana . Sai was exemplary disciple , who lived near the Samadhi of his Guru .He nurtured a garden of marigold and roses near it .He chose the dust pit behind his Guru's turbat for his own Samadhi . 

      We have explained how Sai made Buti Saheb erect a platform for Lord Krishna idol in the Mandir, which become his last repose after the Samadhi . SAI 'biography in itself is a Guru Charitra . His life is Guru Katha . Baba once revealed how his Guru tied him upside down in a well and stabilized his mind , i.e . truned his mana into unmana state . Gazing at the face and eyes of the Guru was his sadhana . He lit his flame of heart against the flame of Guru and himself became Satchitananda !! He told that Rama and Krishna have now come as Sai Baba . He asked everybody to hold him fast by hand of Shraddha and Saburi . He would carry his bhaktas beyond the ocean of Maya . SAI mantra was that he was ours and we were his own .

         He had donned the attire of a fakir to shower compassion and love . He asked devotees to call him Satchitananda Satguru , so that he would appear with the true majesty of Guru , Dhyana , Bhakti , Karma and Yoga would carry a sadhaka to certain stage but beyond that , automatic gears of Guru kripa operate .
