Guest guest Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Baba’s Omniscience Baba once assured his devotees, “Whatever you do, wherever you may be, ever bear this in mind that I am always aware of everything”. What a great solace and a source of confidence to his devotees, and yet what an effective check to their evil propensities! In December 1915, one Balakram Mankar went to the Tarkhad’s and told them that he was going to Shirdi and asked them whether they had any message for Baba. Mrs. Tarkhad wanted to send some gift to Baba. She searched the whole house but found nothing but a milk-cake (peda) which was already offered to Sai Baba’s picture in the shrine. Such a thing is generally considered unworthy of being offered a second time. But she hoped that Baba would care more for her love than for the thing sent. Balakram was in the period of mourning consequent on the death of his father and such a one is usually considered impure to take such a holy gift. Balakram took the peda with him to Shirdi, but in his hurry to see Sai Baba, forgot to take it to him. He took Baba’s darshan with his own offerings. Baba waited for Balakram to recollect it. When Balakram visited Baba in the afternoon, he again forgot to take it. Baba said, “What did you bring for me from Bandra?” “Nothing”, said Balakram. Baba repeated his question a little later but got no better reply. At last he said, “Did not the mother Tarkhad give you some sweetmeat for me?” The young man remembered the whole thing, and brought the peda. Baba eagerly received it and ate it at once. All the love and devotion of the lady were fully reciprocated by Baba. (To be contd...) Source: http://www.saibharadwaja.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
