Om Shri Sai !
Some people say that Sai Baba has become Amir (rich) from Fakir (many term it as poor in material terms). Sai Baba now sits on golden throne surrounded by gold studded walls.
Reality is that Sai was and ever is a Fakir (Sai Baba many a times used the term Fakir for God or Guru). He is ever Amir, ever rich one with the inexhaustible and infinite God. Allah Malik He says. The real Gold.
For Him there is no difference between the material gold that our material eyes see, and the material dust that our material eyes see. While sporting in physical body all he loved and cared was a brick (you might also like to read a wonderful articl Sai Baba’s brick), a gift of His Guru with Guru’s love and grace. That was and is Sai’s Gold!
Keeping close and loving gold (Guru’s love and grace) was not the only thing Baba did ? He suffered and suffers for his devotees, taking their pain upon Him. He follows His devotees and look after their spiritual as well as material welfare. It is His tremendous compassion that He suffers and look after their material well-being so that they might start looking at the real gold. Related good article Since Sai Baba fulfills our desires.
