Chapter 30: Sai - The Ocean of Mercy - 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:

Bow to the kind Sai who is the abode of mercy and who is affectionate towards his devotees. By his mere darshan, he does away with their fear in samsara and destroys their calamities. He was first nirguna (formless) but on account of the devotion of his bhaktas, was obliged to take a form. To give liberation—self-realization—to bhaktas is the mission of the saints and for Sai, the chief of them, that mission is inevitable. Those who take refuge in his feet have all their karmas destroyed and their progress is certain. Remembering his feet, Brahmins from holy places come to him, read scriptures and chant the Gayatri mantra in his presence. We who are weak and without any merit do not know what bhakti (devotion) is, but we know this much, that although all others may leave us, Sai won’t forsake us. Those whom he favors get enormous strength, knowledge and the ability to discriminate between the unreal and the real.

Sai fully knows the desires of his devotees and fulfills them. They get what they want and are grateful. So we invoke him and pranam before him. Forgetting all our faults let him free us from all anxieties. Whoever is overcome with calamities and remembers and prays ‘Sai,’ his mind will become calm and peaceful through Baba’s grace....
