Gradually, in this cave near Ellora, Sai Baba regained His “Dwait” or duality state. Moving from place to place He came to the hill called Kuldabad, near the tomb of the Muslim Qutub Zarzari Baksh. But only those who simultaneously gain both the consciousnesses of “Adwait” and “Dwait” or Divine unity and duality are in the state of a Sadguru or a Perfect Master.ĭuring this period Sai Baba met The Swami of Akalkote. He experiences nothing but Himself as everything. Meher Baba in His book “God Speaks” explained that once a soul attains Realization his entire consciousness of duality is lost.

Sai Baba had become a God- Realized soul at the tender age of hardly twenty years. He chose a small cave atop a hill and remained there for a few years. Sai Baba began living with Gopal Rao Deshmukh and also had to face opposition from the disciples of Deshmukh.Īfter Gopal Rao died, Sai Baba started His search for a more peaceful place and went towards the hills surrounding the Ellora caves. This Saint saw the child with his inner eye and immediately recognized the Divine in Sai Baba. While wandering from place to place with His mother, the child Sai came in contact with Gopal Rao Deshmukh, a blind Saint in the village of Shelwadi. His childhood was full of hardships, and it is perhaps these difficult days that gave Him his immensely compassionate nature as a Perfect Master. But it is learnt that much of His childhood was spent in Aurangabad. There is however another belief that He was born in Pathri Village of Parbhani District. Even if it is still a matter of discovery if Sai Baba was born a Muslim or a Hindu, it hardly matters for the spiritual status He enjoyed.Īs per certain belief Sai Baba was born in 1839 in Sailu village in Jintur district. The consciousness of the Self is perfectly beyond any notion of caste, creed or religion. A Perfect one is always beyond the finite barriers of religion. Meher Baba called Him Qutub-i-Irshad, or the First amongst the Masters. Sai Baba of Shirdi was one of the Self realized souls of our time.
