Some of them are so close to the Sadguru that even their physical features exhibits the physical features of the Master. The 'Sadguru blesses' means, he charges the devotee with some amount of his spiritual power through the medium of speech, touch, look or even thought. The Body, Mind Astral body of these workers is used by the Sadguru for radiating his spiritual powers to other less evolved disciples devotees.

That is why in 1893 at Chicago. After Shri Paramahamsa left his mortal body, Shri Vivekananda spread his message all over and set-up institutions to propagate the vedic knowledge all over the globe. Having fulfilled the purpose of his divine incarnation Shri Vivekananda left his body at an early age just like the Adi Shankara or Christ.

Relating from the history of Shirdi Sai, Shri Upasani Maharaj was drawn by Shri Sai with a purpose. Shri Upasani Maharaj never knew that he was to be the main disciple and 'charge man' of Shri Sainath. But Shri Sai announced before everyone at Shirdi that he weighed Shri Upasani Maharaj on one side and the whole world on the other-side of the spiritual scale. Such is the love of the Sadguru that he took over the entire responsibility of Upasani Maharaj, inspite of protests from and jealousy of many other devotees who thought that Upasani Baba did not deserve all that attention from Shri Sai Baba.

Shri Sai controlled the life of Shri Upasani Maharaj so closely that when the later wanted to go back to his home, he was forced, under strange circumstances to return to Shirdi within eight days as Sai Baba had predicted. Similarly Sadguru Shri Lokanath Brarnhachari of Baridi (now in Bangladesh) had pulled his main disciple Shri Bijay Krishna Goswami by strange methods and evolved him to the state of a Guru in the late 19th Century. Life history of Sufi Saints are full of such instances. These are only a few examples but the Sadgurus always piay the same or similar role with other disciples at various stages of development. These disciples when evolved also play the same or similar roles with their disciples.

Thus the Guru lineage goes on and on. The inner motivation, methods of action of the disciple of the Sadguru cannot be completely understood by any body else than the Sadguru who has taken over the entire responsibility of such devotee. All other persons including his family members and closest relatives cannot understand the value of this disciple.

The world may or may not be able to recognize his inner virtues and may even discard him, but the Sadguru who is the 'Antar-Sakshi', (the witness of his inner self), always loves him and stands by him. Gradually this disciple comes to realize the limitations of human love and the illusions of the worldly games and totally surrenders to his Guru - the spring of eternal love. He has no choice; once he is chosen by the Sadguru.
