What were some of Sai Baba's key characteristics and how did he treat others?

The Shri Sai Satcharitra, in Chapter 44, paints a vivid picture of Sai Baba's character. He is described as desireless, without pride, greed, or craving, and his constant meditation was 'Allah Malik' (God is King). One of his most profound qualities was his immense compassion and peace; the text notes that He was 'kind even to those who harm Him.' Looking at his smiling face was enough to make one forget all worldly sorrows, and his presence could make thirst and hunger vanish. This chapter encourages devotees to give Him a residence within their hearts, emphasizing his loving and forgiving nature.
