Sai Satcharita Chapter 12 Saints Mission The purpose of Divine incarnation is to protect the good and destroy the evil. But the mission of the saints’ is quiet different. To them good and wicked are the same. They draw the wicked people and set them to the right path. God dwells in Saints. Sai Baba is one of those. He incarnated for the welfare of his devotees. He loved all beings, was detached and full of divinity and knowledge and treated everyone equally. The devotees never approached unless he was meant to receive them. There were many people who desired to have Baba’s darshan but not very fortunate, for those persons listening to Baba’s Leelas with devotion will satisfy their quest to a great extend. Nobody could come and stay in Shirdi unless Baba wished to. They could only stay as long as Baba permitted them to stay. Everything depended on Baba’s divine will. Kaka Mahajani Once Kaka Mahajani went to Shirdi, hoping to stay there for one week and enjoy the Gokul ashtami festival. As soon as he took Baba’s Darshan, Baba asked him “When are you returning home.” It surprised him, to this he answered that “when Baba tells him to go home he would do so.” Then Baba said “Go tomorrow” Kaka Mahajani immediately left Shirdi. When he went to his office in Mumbai, he found his employer anxiously waiting for him. His manager suddenly fell sick hence Kaka’s presence was necessary. Kaka’s letter was sent to Shirdi which was redirected to Mumbai. Bhausaheb Dhumal Bhausaheb was going to Niphad for a case. On the way he came to Shirdi and took Baba’s darshan, and wanted to continue to Niphad. But Baba did not give him the permission to go and made him stay in Shirdi for a week. In the meantime the magistrate suffered pain in the abdomen and the case was adjourned. Mr. Dhumal was then allowed to go and attend his case. The case went on for four months, ultimately Mr. Dhumal won the case and his client was acquitted. Mrs Nimonkar Mr. and Mrs.Nimonkar were spending most of the time in the Masjid serving Baba. It so happened that their son fell sick in Belapur, and the mother decided to take Baba’s consent and go and see her son in Belapur. But Nanasaheb asked her to return the next day. The lady was in a fix and did not know what to do, but God Sai came to her help. Before leaving Shirdi she went to Baba to take his permission. Babas said to her go quickly and stay comfortably in Belapur for four days. See all your relatives and then return to Shirdi. Mr. Nanasaheb’s words were overruled by Baba’s decree. Mule Shastri Of Nasik A Brahmin of Nasik Mr. Mule Shastri who was well versed in Shastra, astrology and palmistry once came to Shirdi to see Mr.Bapusaheb Buti the famous millionaire of Nagpur. After meeting him he came to the Masjid to take Baba’s darshan. Baba brought various things from vendors with his own money and distributed to people in the Masjid. Mule Shastri wanted to read Baba’s hand. Baba ignored his request and gave him four plantains. Then Mule Shastri returned to the Wada and resumed his duties. Then Baba started for Lendi and said “Take some saffron coloured die, we all will be wearing saffron coloured cloth. Then Baba returned to the Masjid for the arti. Bapusaheb jog asked Mule Shastri to accompany him for the arti, at this Shastri replied that he would go and meet Baba in the afternoon. As the arti commenced Baba said get some Dakshina from the Nasik Brahmin Mule Shastri. Buti himself went to the Wada and conveyed Baba’s message to Shastri. Hearing this he was perplexed and thought in his mind being an Agnihotri Brahmin why should he pay, why should he pay dakshina, as he is not dependent on Baba, but in spite of such thoughts he agreed to pay the Dakshina. Leaving all his work he immediately went to the Masjid. As soon as he threw flowers at Baba all of a sudden he saw his late Guru Gholap there. It surprised him. At first he thought it was a dream and was speechless. Ultimately leaving all doubts aside he fell at his Guru’s feet and stood there with folded hands. Other people sang arti while Mule Shastri chanted his Guru’s name. Then giving all pride, he closed his eyes and fell at Guru’s feet. When he opened his eyes Baba asked him for Dakshina. Seeing Baba’s blissful form, overjoyed, and tears in his eyes saluted Baba and gave him Dakshine. Seeing this wonderful leela of Baba all were much moved, and they realised the meaning of Baba’s words about wearing of saffron coloured clothes. Such was the wonderful leela of Baba. A Doctor Once a revenue officer came to Shirdi with his doctor friend. The Doctor said that his deity was Ram and he would not bow to Baba and therefore expressed his unwillingness to go to Shirdi. To this revenue Officer replied that he would not force him to bow to Baba, but just requested the pleasure of his company. On reaching Shirdi when the doctor went to the Masjid for Baba’s darshan all were wonderstruck to see him going ahead and saluting Baba.Then the doctor replied that he saw Ram and so he saluted him, while saying this he saw Baba there and was dismayed. Next day he took a vow and began to fast, resolving not to go in the Masjid unless Baba blessed him. On the forth day of the fast a close friend turned up and together they went to the Masjid for Baba’s darshan. Baba asked him, did anyone go to call him. Hearing this question he was mush moved. The same night he was blessed by Baba and he experienced supreme bliss in his sleep. Then he went to his home and remained in this state for a fortnight. Thus his devotion to Baba increased immensely. The moral of the story that we should have firm faith in our Guru and none else. Bow To Sri Sai -------------- Peace Be To All
