Could you describe Sai Baba's life and the conditions within the mosque where he lived?

Certainly. As detailed in Chapter 5, Sai Baba's life in the mosque was one of extreme simplicity. The mosque itself was a very small space, comprising just two bays where he sat, stood, slept, and met everyone. His favorite seat was a specific spot where he would remain awake, seated facing south with his left hand on a railing, looking at his sacred fire, the dhuni. This dhuni served as his protection from the cold, as he only wore a loincloth. It wasn't until later, when a community of devotees gathered, that comforts like mattresses and pillows were introduced. Initially, the mosque floor even had knee-deep holes before devotees paved it with stones.
