धन्य ते जयांचे द्वारीं बाबा होऊनि भिक्षेकरी.... पोरी आण गे चतकुर भाकरी म्हणूनि पसरी निजकरी ||
In the very begining, Sai Baba was in the habit of going to a few houses in the neighbourhood to beg of food. At times baba would scold a grudging housewife by saying - "Mother, you have so many chapaties, so much rice and this or that vegetable in your pots, why refuse a bit of food to a faqir"! This gentle chastisement and the accuracy of the stange faqir's pronouncements would remove the veil of maya from these women who would then rush to put their all at his feet, as an offering of love.
