Don't ill-treat any Creature, treat it with Kindness

Baba declared 'I am living in every creature. Good treatment of them would mean treating Me well. Any insult or ill treatment of them is like mistreating Me'. Baba used to feel pained that people recognize Him when He comes only in a human form, not when He comes in other forms. Sai had to bear the abuses and thrashings of the devotees whom He saved them or corrected their behaviour assuming different forms like cat or dog etc.,

One day a devotee prepared and brought tasty dishes to the Masjid and offered them to Baba. He immediately clapped and called a black dog staying there and allowed it to eat the dish. On noticing it, the woman devotee felt disgusted in her heart. Instantly, Baba pushed the plate aside and said 'I don't want this plate. Take it'. Baba told her that she insulted Him by insulting the hungry dog through which He partook the dish she brought. He always used to say 'when a creature comes near you with hunger, don't ill-treat it; but be kind to it'. Baba reminded His devotees that He dwells in all beings and in everything and hence loving them is like worshipping Him. He taught that all living creatures are an image of Himself and that they must be treated with love and concern. Thus, it becomes a true service to Baba if we keep Baba's all pervading nature and divine love in our heart and treat every creature with kindness.
