Sai were invited at an event, requesting him to give a donation from which grains would be bought & distributed. When He reached there, He was surprised to see loads of wheat and other grains lying on the ground. Sai asked them as to why they are disrespecting them by spreading it on the ground as they are Anndevta, one form of God? They replied that they had to show this to the donors, that from their contributions all these grains will be distributed and they had also called a photographer to click their pictures along with all this.
Sai asked them, “Why have you accepted such money for which you have to give an account? Why accept such donations, where you are obliged to show proof of its’ use? It should be done depending on what one has and not by copying what others are doing or calling for donations to do it!”
This shows how Sai firmly believes in true values and not a false show off!
