On one occasion he restored the eyes of a blind elderly and in another occasion he lighted a lantern with water when there was no oil to burn it.Īs all good things have to end ultimately “Baba” also left his body on his own will on 15th Oct. He performed miracles to alleviate the suffering of poor people. He always made it a point not to return empty handed those who had come to him in their hour of need and grief. Sai Baba strongly believed in uniformity of religion and he never distinguished anyone on the basis of caste, creed or religion. He always felt anguished over the fact that all those who came to him were more for their own personal problems and not for attaining the ultimate goal of reaching God which he felt could be attained only by true servicing of humanity.

People also realised that this “Baba” was no ordinary person but a person with extraordinary godly powers.

Gradually the curious villagers started offering food to the man, but he never asked anything from them. Nobody knew from where this stranger had come who hardly spoke a word and stayed there.
