Pearls of Devotion
10. Om Shri Sai Sarva-Jana-Priyaaya Namah
[Who is dear to all.]
Baba is loved by people from all walks of life. People from different countries love him alike. You look at Him as your friend, He is your friend. If you look at Him as your guru, He is your guru. The devotees love Him as He assumes the role of what a devotee wants Him to be.
Baba presided the ninth convention of the Divine society in 1957. It was attended by sanyasis from various holy places. Baba was kindly requested by the Raja of Venkatgiri to come in a palanquin decorated by flowers. But Baba politely refused and walked along with the sanyasis in the procession.
The rich and the poor, the elite and the normal, the young and the old- all love Baba. Baba relieves the suffering of mankind and assumes the role of what the devotee wants Him to be.
