I have come to reform you: I won’t leave you until I do that! Even if you get away before I do that, don’t think you can escape Me; I will hold on to you. I am not worried if you leave Me, for I am not anxious that there should be a huge gathering here, around Me. Who invited you all here? You have come here in thousands. You attach yourselves to Me. I am unattached. I am attached only to the Task for which I have come. But of one thing be assured. Whether you come to Me or not, you are all Mine! This Shiva-mata, this Sai Mata (Divine Mother Sai) has the love of a thousand mothers towards Her children; that is why I do so much lalana and palana (caring and fostering). Whenever I appear to be angry, remember, it is only love in another form. For, I have not even an atom of anger in Me; I just evince My disappointment that you do not shape as I direct! When I direct you along a line of action, reflect on My advice; you have full liberty to do so; I shall be happy if you do so! I do not like slavish obedience. If you feel that it will help you to reach the goal, follow it! If not, go somewhere else! Let Me tell you one thing: Wherever you go, you meet only Me. I am everywhere! – Divine Discourse, Feb 11, 1964.
