Guest guest Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 The train arrived in time but the second class bogie was over-crowded. When the party was a little worried about securing accommodation, the railway guard met them and he was an old acquaintance of Kakasaheb. He promptly put them in the first class carriage and Kaka had a comfortable journey. On seeing Sai Baba, Kakasaheb found that all his expectations had been more than fulfilled. On seeing Kaka, Sai Baba said that he was awaiting his arrival ! If some of the readers are disposed to treat the whole episode as a mere coincidence, there is another incident to show that is was indeed a part of Baba’s leela. Kakaji Vaidya, the priest in the temple of goddess Saptasringi at Vani, had a series of calamities in life. He had lost all peace of mind and sought the protection of the goddess. One night she appeared in his dream and said, “Go to Baba and then you will gain peace”. In those days Sai Baba was not yet so well known. So Kakaji wanted to know from her who he was. But before he did, she had disappeared. He thought that she directed him to Lord Siva at Tryambakeswar. So he went there and worshipped that deity for ten days but to no purpose. In despair he returned and again prayed fervently for clearer guidance. That night the goddess appeared in his dream and said, “Why did you go to Tryambakeswar? By ‘Baba’ I mean Sri Sai Samarth of Shirdi.” Kakaji did not know where Shirdi was and how to go there and none could guide him. Baba’s omniscient gaze noticed the “sparrow’s” longing and his invisible hand promptly arranged the situation needed. (To be contd....)
