Shirdi Sai and Sathya Sai are One
and the Same
By Arjan D. Bharwani
25. THOUGHTS RECAPITULATED
The Late Shri T.A. Pai, who had held
several portfolios as a Cabinet Mlnister in the Union Government,
has written about his personal experiences in the Golden Age 1979
in the following words, "It was in 1970 that I visited Shirdi.
Between 1970-1972 I visited Shirdi twice again with my wife and a
cousin of mine (practising as a doctor in U.S.A.), his wife and
child. On one of these occasions I had remarked to my wife who was
looking at the window where the belongings of Shirdi Baba, like
his white turban, shirt, walking stick, chappals and a few white
pipes, had been kept; that if Baba could smoke, what was wrong in
my smoking! Later on, on one of the occasions when I visited Sri
Sathya Sai, He brought to my memory that I was standing before His
picture in Shirdi and had remarked 'what was wrong in my smoking
if Shirdi Baba could smoke'' This was just to impress upon me that
Shirdi Baba and Himself were the same. He also said that Shirdi
Baba was not fond of smoking but after the discourse He used to
sit with His disciples, whose names, He recounted and also
mentioned that smoking is highly injurious to health.
