It’s hard to believe but based on his interview with Narasimha Swamiji, his reply was “I do not know of any saint, only a mad fakir lives in the masjid “ Many like shama only thought of Saibaba as a mad fakir. How it would have been when someone goes to shama and asks “Do you know of a fakir, a saint here in shirdi, where does he live? “Īnd surprisingly it was the time when shama was still a teacher in a school near the masjid Saibaba used to live and himself never believed in Saibaba as a saint. How it would have been when a poor family traveling from Mumbai in train, gets down in Kopergoan station and took their Tonga ( horse ride ) to Shirdi. Lots of greenery, Neem trees, Mango trees etc. We go to Shirdi traveling long distances, finally reach Shirdi by train, bus and lots of hardships but did we really have the “Darshan ” that Saibaba wishes to show us? Imagine the Shirdi which was a village with less than 100 huts. Yesterday, while talking to my sai friends about Shirdi, Saibaba’s samadhi mandir, the weather in Shirdi, new changes in Shirdi etc, I gradually realized though I have been writing in for over 6 years, “The real Soul of Shirdi Sai baba”is not yet known to me.
Many Shirdi sai baba devotees have a habit of watching “Shirdi Sai Baba live Darshan ” from the samadhi mandir temple built by Buti during Saibaba’s lifetime. The Guru who lives in you calls to realize the beauty of looking at Sai from Inside yourself We have Darshan of Sai Baba from Shirdi but did we really see Saibaba from inside. “Antaryami” – The one who is lives inside you in the form of consciousness.
