According to Chapter 37 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, Sai Baba's approach to community was rooted in a pure and divine vision. The text states that He held brotherhood with men and treated all women as His sisters or mothers. He was known to all as a celibate, or Urdhvareta, at all times. This teaches us to build our communities on a foundation of mutual respect and spiritual kinship, seeing the divine in all beings. The chapter further expresses the aspiration that the spirit of service should increase greatly and that unwavering devotion be fixed at His feet, which are essential values for any community centered around His teachings.
How did Sai Baba view men and women, and what can we learn from his example to build a respectful community?
