Yoga and Onion - Shama Cured of Snake - Bite - Cholera Ordinance Broken - Ordeal of Guru-Bhakti
In reality this Jiva (human soul) transcends the three qualities, viz. Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas, but being deluded by Maya, he forgets his nature which is 'Existence-knowledge-bliss', and thinks that he is the doer and enjoyer and thus entangles himself in endless miseries and does not know the way of deliverance.
The only way of deliverance is Loving Devotion towards the Guru's feet.
The great Player or Actor Lord Sai has delighted His Bhaktas and transformed them into Himself (His nature).

Shama Cured of Snake-Bite
Before Hemadpant begins the story, he says about the Jiva that it can be very well compared with a parrot, and that they both are bound, the one in the body and the other in a cage. Both think that their present bound state is good for them. It is only when a Helper, i.e., Guru comes and by God's grace opens their eyes and liberates them from their bondage, that their eyes are opened to a greater and larger life, compared to which their former limited life is nothing.
Once Shama was bitten by a poisonous snake. His little finger of the hand was stung and the poison began to spread into the body. The pain was also severe and Shama thought that he would pass off soon. His friends wanted to take him to the God Viroba, where such cases were often sent, but Shama ran to the Masjid -- to His
Sai Baba; When Baba saw him, He began to scold and abuse.`GO, GET AWAY, COME DOWN' were not addressed to Shama- as it apparently looked - but they were a direct order to the snake and its poison not to go up and circulate through Shama's body.
Baba said to him - "Don't be afraid, don't care a jot, the Merciful Fakir will save you, go and sit quiet at home, don't go out, believe in Me and remain fearless and have no anxeity".

Any one, hearing this story and other similar ones, will beget firm faith in the Feet of Sai Baba, and the only way to cross the ocean of Maya is to remember ever the Feet of Baba in the heart.
Classification of disciples. He says that they are of three kinds :
(1) First or best (The best kind of disciples are those who guess what their Gurus want and immediately carry it out and serve them without waiting for an order from them.)
(2) Second or middling (The average disciples are those who carry out the orders of their Masters to a letter, without any delay)
(3) Third or ordinary (third kind of disciples are those, who go on postponing the carrying out of their orders and making mistakes at every step).
