As stated in Shri Sai Satcharitra " If Baba accepts a devotee, He follows him and stands by him, day and night, at his home or abroad. Let the devotee go anywhere he likes, Baba is there ahead of him in some form in an inconceivable manner. "
Baba's boundless love and His wonderful natural knowledge and His all-pervasiveness cannot be expressed in words.Here is a Sai leela of Sai devotee Gayatri who was subtly pulled by Baba and how Baba changed her thoughts ,devotees can read below in the attached mail .Jai Sai Ram .

Hello Manisha,It is always so nice to read the articles posted by you and other devotees and especially the experiences of devotees on your website.
I have been wanting to contribute my personal experiences with Sai for a while now, but have not been able to do so till now. I take this to be Sai's will. I have an experience to share with everyone. I will contribute more later.
Thank you
Gayatri Pestonjee

I am a recent devotee of Sai Baba. I had visited Shirdi when I was little with my parents. We have always had Sai Baba's photograph in our mandir. I did not pray to Sai, but respected and revered Him.All my life I have prayed to God to bless and protect my family and to keep my family healthy, happy and safe. I have been very close to my parents and especially to my mother. I left India in 2002 after my marriage. That was the last time I saw my mother.
My mother passed on ,very suddenly from a massive heart attack. Her death devastated me and shook the foundations of my faith in God completely. I stopped praying, stopped believing that there was a God. I used to question "How could God so cruelly take my mother away like this? She was only 56 years old?".
I sank into a depression that was hard to come out of. I was pregnant with my daughter at that time. It was a very difficult time for me. One night, soon after my daughter was born, I had a dream in which Saibaba appeared.
I was at his feet in Dwarkamai. He was talking to me; I could see his lips move but I could not hear him. He looked so peaceful, and I felt so at ease in His presence. That is about all I can remember of that dream.
I didn’t really think much of that dream after that. I have an old photograph of Saibaba in my mandir. One evening as I was sitting reading, something made me look at that picture. I felt suddenly very drawn towards Baba and a deep love for Him enveloped me. I felt that Baba was trying to call me and that I should perhaps listen.
I had an urge to read about Baba, to get to know everything about Him. I read about Saibaba extensively online and then was also able to get a copy of the SaiSatcharitra from Shirdi. Slowly, my faith started building back in God and in Sai.
When I look back, I think that dream was Sai’s way of reaching out to me. He wanted me to develop my faith in God again and to start praying again. I also feel that Sai has been calling me to Shirdi since that time. I am finally making a trip to India after seven years. I am hoping to be able to visit Shirdi and get Baba’s darshan this time. I have made no plans as of now for visiting Shirdi, but I believe that when Baba calls you to Shirdi, He also clears the way for you to visit Him. I am hoping that that happens this time for me.
Om Shri Sai Nathay Namaha!
Sadguru Sai Namaho Namaha!

Dear Sai sister.
I want to congratulate you for your good work which you are doing by publishing the experiences of all Sai devotees in your blog.
Your posts always remind us that there is someone who always think for our good.
We are moratls and full of all wordly vices. We are so fragile that a little distubance shakes us so vigorously that we tend to lose our faith in the Supreme.
Posts like yours, point out our mistakes and help us to cling to the ultimate and most powerful support, our SAI.
Your posts are like silver lightening in the dark clouds of the mundane world.
These are no less that the the guiding axiom of life.
May god bless you.

Thanks for writing this blog..i have found a treasure here..
Have any question? Feel free to ask.
