What was Sai Baba's personal conduct like, and how can we apply those lessons to build a spiritual community?

To build a community around Sai's teachings, we can look to His own personal conduct. Chapter 37 describes Sai Baba as someone who held brotherhood with men and treated women as His sisters or mothers. He was a known celibate, always alert and fixed on Self-realization, even when appearing inactive. The chapter beautifully states He was "sometimes intoxicated with Brahmananda (the bliss of the Self); sometimes satisfied with Self-knowledge." Emulating this spirit of service, detachment, and seeing divinity in all beings, as prayed for in the text, can form the foundation of a strong spiritual community that values inner growth over worldly appearances.
