samadhi -a state of consciousness

Sai baba used to sleep on a small wooden plank tied up with thin rags high up and almost touching the roof of dwarkamai(baba's residence). People used to wonder that how he would climb up and get down from that small swing and nobody saw him doing that ,they coluld only see him sleeping on it! One day baba got annoyed due to public attention and threw away his swing . The devotees asked him about it and he replied " i was worried about mahalsapati because i did not want him to sleep on floor without me being there ! " so people asked him that we would put up another swing for mahalsapati and baba gave this most wonderful answer " mahalsapati can not sleep up because in order to do that one should be fully awake while sleeping!".
Sai baba was probably referring to a state of samadhi -super consciouness where you appear to be asleep while you are fully awake !

sai baba -the yogi

this is the original picture of sai baba of shirdi, and he looks amazing and yet different from his other pictures! Very few people know that he was a great Yogi(he used to perform Khanda yoga-seperating his body organs and taking out his intestines washing tham and putting back!). He was and still is the biggest healer ,this world has ever seen. His shrine at shirdi(maharashtra, India) is visited by 1,00,0000 people every day !
He had no formal education and yet he could quote from all the holy scriptures of India.
He loved children and animals. Read about his life on net and you will be amazed .He could look into past present and future . I sit at his lotus feet and feel blessed all the time!
