If you want Lord Sainath close behind your thoughts,
Love all beings
If you want joy, serve the distressed,
Remember the Nine Gems who served Sai Baba,
And have partaken Sai’s love
Achieved the Abode Eternal at Shirdi.
Partaking his love, blissful became Bayja Ma and Tatya
Enchanted became Mahlsapathy.
Drinking of his love Madhava Rao became Shama.
And full of love did Sai Krishna play on his flute
To welcome Nana Chandorkar and Dasa Ganu to his fold.
When harassed by Shirdi residents
Hari Vinayak Sathe was enraptured by his love
Full of love for Baba, Buty surrendered to Baba
Kaka Dixit abandoned his wealth and riches for Baba
And a fastidious Dabholkar became Hemadpant
To compose the epic Sai Satcharita.
A mendicant ascetic became Upasani Maharaj
Oh Lord Sainath, Please grant a sip of Thy love this distressed soul too!
