Once when Sai had gone to Jaipur, there were many devotees who were coming ahead to bow and seek His blessings and then they would move a little back to make way for others. Like other devotees, who were putting some offerings in Sai’s pocket, one person put a 1 Re note and took out a 100 Re one and quietly went and stood a little away. Sai’s instincts are too strong, He realized this instantly and were keeping an eye on him. Sai knew that he does not seem to be a known person, but is standing along with all devotees. While everyone was talking, Sai realized that he was looking at ladies’ purses and other’s pockets. When everyone was laughing, he too was laughing aloud but was keeping an eye and waiting for an opportunity!
Sai said, “I instantly come to know if someone is a fake or a trickster person. Here also, who is a genuine or a fake person, I know everything!” Hearing this, that person started to move out of the crowd and Sai immediately called out aloud, “Catch him, catch him, he is trying to escape!” They all caught him and brought him near Sai. Even before Sai said anything, he removed the folded 100 Re. note from the folded sleeve of his kurta, gave it back and kept pleading for forgiveness!
