Once during the Ulhasnagar camp, one lady had come to meet Sai. When she saw the sewadharis so involved and busy in their seva, she told Sai, “Please give me the addresses of these devotees, so that when we organise a camp, I can write to them and call them.”
Sai smilingly asked her, “Do you know who they are? They are all disciples of our Darbar. They have left aside their work, business, etc and come here. They are not paid employees, they are all well off with their own cars, etc and at home they probably don’t even fill their own glass of water! They are here because of their devotion for their Guru and dedication for seva. I do not take work from them by ordering or treating them like servants. They come here on their own due to their love, I never call them. In fact, many of them are on my waiting list, eager to come.”
After listening, the lady felt ashamed and walked away with her head down.
