Once when Sai had gone to Matheran, all the accompanying devotees were having a nice time, eating, drinking, laughing, talking and making merry. Amongst them one lady was sitting very quiet and grim. Sai called her and asked her the reason. She said, “Sai, you yourself are God and in front of you they should not talk in such a manner or make fun and behave this way.”
Sai smiled and replied, “I know everything about everyone. I know their devotion, their behavior, I know who all come with true feelings and who all come for show off! I am fully aware of everything, it is true that they have to rise above from their current state. One day, they will themselves realize, good sense will prevail, there will be improvement and they will follow their religious path with devotion and sincerity.” This way Sai always covers up the faults of everybody and blesses them to grow spiritually in life!
