Sai Baba in various forms

Sai Baba said “I am formless and everywhere, I am in everything, I am in everything and beyond, I fill all space. All that you see taken together is Myself. I do not shake or move. All that is seen is my form; ant, fly, prince, pauper. I am in the water, in dry places, in woods, amidst crowds, and in the solitary wilderness. I am in the fire and in ether. I am not limited to any place.
So what does this mean, this means that Baba is the Universal Soul and He is there in every thing. What is the Moral of this, Baba wants us His devotees to identify Baba in every thing and respect every being, love every being. To drive home this point very clearly Baba taught many devotees by Example.
Once Baba said to Laxmi Bai Shinde that He is very Hungry, Laxmi Bai ran post haste and prepared food and brought and gave it to Baba with full of love. Baba immediately feed the food to a Hungry dog. Laxmi Bai got upset and said Baba I prepared the food for you and you feed the dog. Baba then said that the dog was hungry and to feed the dog so He asked Laxmi Bai to go and prepare food. Baba identified Himself with the dog.

Baba: Is not the bitch also a Jiva? We talk, dogs do not. She is hungry; she and I are one and the same. It is the same if I eat or she eats.
Baba sometimes also took various forms to test His Devotees, sometimes as pig, cat, or dogs.

Once he went in the form of a pig to Kasinath Govind Upasani Maharaj who lived at Shirdi in 1911-4, Upasani Maharaj prepared food and wanted to offer it to Baba. So he took the food and was walking to the Masjid and saw a black dog was watching. Offering nothing to the dog Upasani Maharaj went to the masjid and offered it to Baba. Baba asked Upsani Maharaj Why did you bring it here. I was there. Upasani Maharaj said that He did not find Baba, Baba said, I was that black dog. So the message Upasani Maharaj learnt was He has to recognize Baba in each form.
Baba also took various forms to help His devotees,
Let us look at this story. Hansraj, an Asthma patient: He was not supposed to take curds or taste sour things. But Hansraj was daily preparing curds overnight to drink it at the noon meal. Daily a cat drank it off Hansraj, decided to punish the cat and one day he beat the cat.
“Baba : to others, in the presence of Hansraj. "There is an Urphatia. a cussed, cross grained man. I told him not to take curds. But he daily prepared it. Daily I went as a cat and drank it off, to save his life. Today 1 went again. Do you know what he did? He beat me over the shoulder. See here. (Hansraj looked and found a fresh weal on Baba's shoulder, though it was a cat he beat with a stick on the shoulder)”
There are many such stories, we can recollect innumerable of such stories. Sai Satcharitra is full of such stories, we have also read about experiences of various devotees about Baba coming in various forms. If we keep our mind and eyes open we can see and feel Baba in various forms.
From the above stories we learn that Baba is a guru who is different from others. He was a full avatar. He set examples, He never teached any thing new, he teached what was already written in Bhagavat Gita, Koran, Bible and he teached by examples and he lived that way so that His devotees follow that example and live by it. If we want the grace of Baba we have to identify Baba in every living being and love them and respect them, then Babas grace will be on us.
