Story of How Baba Suffered for his Devotees: "Their Difficulties are M

"...Mrs. Khaparde informed Baba in a trembling tone, that her dear young son was down with plague. Baba spoke kindly and softly to her, saying that 'The sky is beset with clouds; but they will melt and pass off and everything will be smooth and clear.'

So saying, He lifted up His Kafni (Robe) up to the waist and showed to all present, four fully developed bubos, as big as eggs, and added, 'See, how I have to suffer for My devotees; their difficulties are Mine.'

Seeing this unique and extraordinary deed (Leela), the people were convinced as to how the Saints suffer pains for their devotees. The mind of the saints is softer than wax, it is soft, in and out, as butter. They love their devotees without any idea of gain, and regard them as their true relatives."

~ Sri Sai Satcharita, Chapter 7
