SAI'S MIRACLES
"I require no door to enter, I have no form nor any existence. I always live everywhere".
SAI BABA
Is it not a wonderful thing to note that BABA's eyes are everywhere fulfilling the cherished desires of devotees sooner or later. One may shed tears while facing calamities in life but the same eyes may bring tears of joys in the long run. This is popularly known as SAI LEELA. If what is expected happens then there is no wonder in it. If unfore-seen or unpredicted thing happens then it is a miracle. Some times with the best efforts put in, people fail and say bad luck and in some occasions with little efforts they get success. This is a matter of luck, If joys and sorrows are not mixed and interwoven then the very purpose of life is defeated. SAI BABA performed a number of miracles but the following are exceptionally wonderful and worth recording.

Bupugir Bava had only Rupees two which was a meager amount to meet the expense. SAI BABA read the mind of the messenger and told him that he should not worry. Allah will arrange every thing. Accordingly, Babugir reached Jalgaon at midnight. SAI in disguise of a tanga wala asked Bipugir whether he had come from SHIRDI and told that Nana had sent a tanga for HIM. By dawn these two reached Jamnere,. Nina applied the Udi to her daughter's forehead. She delivered to a child very safely. There after Babugir told Nana that had he not sent the tanga he would not have reached in time. Nana very amazingly said that he did not know anything about tanga.
