ਤੁਰੰਤ ਜਵਾਬਉਹ ਅਜਨਬੀ ਵਜੋਂ ਆਇਆ, ਖੁੱਲ੍ਹੀ ਜ਼ਮੀਨ ਉੱਤੇ ਸੁੱਤਾ, ਇੱਕੋ ਸਾਹ ਵਿੱਚ ਅੱਲਾਹ ਮਲਿਕ ਅਤੇ ਰਾਮ ਰਾਜਾ ਕਿਹਾ, ਅਤੇ ਅਜਿਹਾ ਕਰਦਿਆਂ ਉਸ ਚੁੱਪ-ਚਾਪ ਉਸ ਹਰ ਕੰਧ ਨੂੰ ਢਾਹ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਜੋ ਮਨੁੱਖਤਾ ਪਵਿੱਤਰ ਅਤੇ ਹੋਰ ਵਿਚਕਾਰ ਬਣਾਉਂਦੀ ਹੈ।

The Stranger Who Came and Never Left
Sometime in the mid-19th century, a young man appeared in the small village of Shirdi in the Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra. No one knew where he had come from. He wore a tattered kafni robe and a cloth cap, he had no possessions, no family, and no fixed identity in the world's terms. He took up residence in a dilapidated mosque he called Dwarkamai — the Dwaraka of the Mother — and he lit a perpetual fire there that he called the dhuni, feeding it with wood, tending it day and night, distributing its ash as udi (sacred ash) to all who came. This fire burned throughout his lifetime and continues to burn today in the same mosque, never extinguished. The young man said Allah Malik — God is the Master — and he said Ram Raja — God is King — with equal frequency and equal reverence. He prayed in the style of a Muslim fakir and welcomed the rituals of Hindu devotees without distinction. He was, by every external marker, impossible to categorise. The villagers of Shirdi eventually accepted this impossibility and simply called him Baba — Father.
The Life of the Saint — Miracles as Daily Currency
Sai Baba of Shirdi lived in the village for several decades before his mahasamadhi in 1918, and during that time the accounts of his actions — compiled in the Shri Sai Satcharita, written by devotee Govind Raghunath Dabholkar — describe a continuous flow of miracles woven so casually into the fabric of ordinary life that the miraculous and the mundane become indistinguishable. He is said to have lit the mosque's oil lamps one evening when the oil merchants of the village, as a prank, refused to sell him oil — and instead filled his lamps with water from a metal pot, water that burned through the night like the finest lamp oil. He sent devotees on errands to specific locations where they would encounter strangers whose problems he had already arranged to be solved. He appeared simultaneously in different physical locations to different devotees. He manifested food, money, medicine, and comfort for the poor of Shirdi, asking only a small dakshina (offering) in return — not for its monetary value but because, he said, giving something up loosens the grip of attachment. He cured the sick, guided the lost, and apparently knew the private thoughts of everyone who sat before him.
