We are safe in the hands of Sai. Only we have to remember Him by uttering His name. Wherever we may reside, if we call the name Sai, He is verily there by His side. Baba has assured, "Even if my devotee is 3000 miles away, i will bring him here as a sparrow is brought near by a string attached to its leg. Sairam, Sayipriya.
