Chapter 13: Baba's Cures - a podcast by Divine Lineage

Sri Sai Satcharitra: The Wonderful Life of Shirdi Sai Baba, A Modern Rendering of Hemadpant by Monika Penukonda 

If a man utters my name with love, I shall fulfill all his wishes and increase his devotion. If he sings earnestly of my life and my deeds, I shall surround him in front and back and on all sides. Those devotees who are attached to me heart and soul will naturally feel happiness when they hear these stories. Believe me, if anybody sings my leelas I will give him infinite joy and everlasting happiness. ~ Shirdi Sai Baba

From this episode:

Baba’s words were always concise, deep, efficient, well balanced and full of meaning. He was ever content and never cared for anything. He said: 

"Though I have become a fakir, have no house or wife, have left all cares and stayed in one place, the inevitable Maya (illusion) teases me often. Even if I forget myself, I cannot forget her. She always envelops me. If this Maya of the Lord teases even Brahma, then what to speak of a poor fakir like me? Those who take refuge in the Lord will be freed from her clutches with his grace."

Baba spoke about the power of Maya in such terms. Lord Sri Krishna said to Uddhava in the Bhagavad Gita that the saints are his living forms. For the welfare of his devotee, Baba said the following: 

"Those who are fortunate and whose demerits have vanished, take to my worship. If you always say, ‘Sai, Sai’ I shall take you over the seven seas. Believe in these words and you will certainly benefit. I do not need any other worship, either eight-fold or sixteen-fold. I reside where there is total devotion."

Now read what Baba, the friend of those who surrender to him, did for their welfare...
