OM SRI SAI PREMA MOORTAYÉ NAMAH - (65) Salutations to Sri Sai, Who is the embodiment of Love.
Swami says, "Love is My form." Prema Swaroopa Sai showers unconditional love on everybody with His gracious glances.
During the Shirdi incarnation, many were recipients of Sainath's 'anger'; however, deep below the anger was only love for the devotees. In the Parthi incarnation Sri Sathya Sai only showers love and does not get angry with anybody. Once when someone asked Swami about this, He said, "When a mother is cooking, if her child comes in the way, she gets angry. But when she is serving food, she feeds the same child very lovingly, so that the child is satiated."
Here is a story about Prem Swaroop Sai's grace. Some years ago, the students of Puttaparthi school were seated for Swami's darshan. After His round in the darshan hall, Swami reached the verandah. He stopped for a moment and turned back. He came to the rows where the children were seated, stood in front of a child and stared at him. In a stern voice Swami asked the child, "Can't you go to the doctor?"
Why did Swami get annoyed with the child? The boy had mumps. Since the past two days his cheeks were swollen and he was wincing in pain. When Swami asked this question, the child replied in innocence, "Swami, when You are everything to me, why should I go to the doctor?". Swami burst out laughing. He gently patted the child on his back and went away.
Next day, everyone who saw the child was surprised, because he looked completely normal. The swelling on his cheeks was gone and there was no pain. But when Swami came for His round of darshan, everyone saw the swelling on His cheeks. "That innocent child put his burden on Me with so much faith; how can I let him down? I had to free him from pain..."
Sant Tukaram says, "Wherever Hari's name is chanted, love dwells there; love comes from God, in search of His devotees."
