Sai always prefers to perform His regular tasks on His own. Even on visits abroad, He never allows others to carry His luggage, etc. If anyone insists, Sai smiles and says, “Today you can help me with my luggage, but if tomorrow I travel alone, who will carry my bags, etc?” Not only He carries His own bags, but in case there is a lady in the group with more bags, He carries that too and with a chuckle He says, “My other hand is empty!”
In 2010 during a trip to London, Sai Himself were lifting and putting bags of devotees in the luggage section of the bus! When some devotee tried to stop Him, He said, “It is important for everyone to have the habit of working and being active, whereby one remains young and healthy!”
In this manner, Sai Himself walks the path of His principles and sets an example for us to follow!
