A doubt creeps in many, whether God would protect them or not despite offering regular prayers. But, we need not get such a doubt in the case of Baba, because He assured "I am Ever-Active and vigorous even after leaving this Earthly Body". God will assume human form to save the humanity, console them and move them on to the right path by teaching human values and finally makes them to be like Him. "Though I am shedding My mortal coil, I shall never leave the precincts of your minds", thus assured Baba. Physical body is composed of five elements viz., earth, water, fire, air and sky.
'Ever-Active' is one of the key words in Baba's assurance to us. Despite His absence in body, the ever-watchful Sai protects His devotees at all times. He is aware of the pregnancy of Mainatayi, daughter of Nana Saheb in Jamnagar and saved her life from the pangs of birth and blessed her deliver a baby safely by sending the sacred ash with Bhavagiri Bapu. Likewise, He slaked Nanachandorkar's thirst on the hill of Harischandra. Again by thrusting His hand into the fire-place at Dwarakamayi, Baba could hold and save a child from falling into the burning furnace in the house of an iron smith. Even after His Samadhi, Baba has been safeguarding the lives of millions of His devotees.
