The
Masjid in which Baba stayed is named as Dwarakamayi. The word "Mayi"
means 'mother'. Hence, people get motherly love, kindness, good
treatment and blessings there. For a mother, all children are alike.
Thus, for Sai, the Divine Mother of Dwarakamayi, all the species
of the universe are equal. In the lap of love of Sai Mother, all
are treated equally.
A lot of meaning is implied in the reassurance of Baba that people
get riches and happiness the moment they step into Dwarakamayi.
Baba lit Dhuni, the holy fire which burns forever with an objective
that whether He is alive or not, the sins of devotees and the hapless
would get burnt up in it. He planted basil in front of the masjid.
For Hindus, basil and fire are very holy. Masjid is a house of worship
for the Muslims. Thus, Baba named the structure "Dwarakamayi"
as a symbol of religious harmony. Dwarakamayi is the door-way to
self-liberation. Come! Dwarakamayi is ready to offer what all you
wish. Just like the possessive mother, "Dwarakamayi" protects
her children and eagerly awaits to shower unbounded love. Baba uttered
with great love, "Be it the hapless or paupers, they become
prosperous and joyous the moment they climb the steps of Dwarakamayi".
