Story of three persons

 

* Once H. V. Thakur saw near Belagam a Kannada saint named Abba. He told

Thakur to read the holy book Vichara sagar and predicted that later he would be

transferred to North and would come across a great saint. After some time when

Thakur was transferred to Junnar he had to cross the Nanighat hills riding a

buffalo. That gave him immense pain. Shortly he was promoted and posted to

Kalyan. There he acquainted with Nana Chandodkar and on his advice came to

Shirdi. Baba told him: 'The path here is not at easy as Kannada saint's

preaching or Nanighat Buffalo ride.' Thus He demonstrated that He was

omniscient.

*When Mr. Anandarao Patankar from Pune prostrated before Baba, He told a

story: 'A fisherman came here. A horse also came in front of him and defecated

nine balls of excreta. The fisherman eagerly spread his cloth and collected

them.' Patankar was at a loss to know the meaning, Dhadha Kelkar who was nearby

told him that Baba seems to have meant nine methods of devotion. When next day

Patankar came to masjid, Baba asked him whether he collected the nine balls.

*A lawyer from Pandharpur came, prostrated before Sai and offered dakshina.

Baba remarked: 'How conceited people are? Elsewhere they abuse us but come here

and offer dakshina.' When earlier Noolkar, the magistrate of Pandharpur used to

come to Shirdi for cure from diseases, the lawyers used to meet in the Bar room

and ridicule him. This lawyer accepted that he was one among them.
