In 1996, when Sai visited USA, one devotee came and asked as to why Sai does not do katha kirtan here, as all other Saints do it happily and earn a good amount of dollars before leaving.
Sai just smiled and said, “I have not come here to earn dollars or make money. It is purely a pleasure trip! I have come to see places, to see the wonders of mother nature and it was your love that brought me here!”
After that trip, whenever anyone requests Sai to visit there, He simply says, “Once I came there for going around, I do not want to do it again and again. Two types of people go there, one, who want to earn in dollars, others who have relatives there, whom they want to visit. I do not want to earn dollars, rest if anyone is keen to meet me, they can always come here!”
