Sai often travels national and internationally. Each trip with Him is like an ocean of knowledge, a treasure of pearls, where the one who tries, gets the fortune!
Whenever Sai travels with His devotees, He bears the full expense of the trip Himself and is the first always to handover His share to the one who handles the kitty! Wherever He goes, He spends with a large heart, whether it is on food, accommodation or travel, etc. thereby making everyone feel comfortable.
Once on one such trip, Sai had to wait for some devotee, as generally the whole group always travels together. Some devotees expressed a little displeasure, but Sai said, “If we have to wait for someone, we must do it happily. If I order now, all will come running, but it will not be right. On such a trip, all have shared equally and all are equal with same rights.” Inspite of being very punctual, He always mixes and becomes one with all on such trips.
He treats His devotees like His children. For example suppose all are going for a boat ride, He ensures that all the devotees go in first, then He boards in the end. It has happened once or twice, that due to time restriction, He sent all His devotees but could not go Himself, yet He would feel happy that His children had a great time! Sai would say what more can a father ask for!
