Sai Baba the Master

[Guest guest]

In 1914, G.G. Narke was once watching Baba as he distributed kufnis (the

long gowns which fakirs wear) to a number of his devotees and wished that

Baba should give him one. Baba stopped the distribution, turned to Narke

and said, “Do not blame me for not giving you a kufni. That fakir (God) has

not permitted me to give you one.” Similarly, in 1916 Narke arrived at

Shirdi and learned that Baba was sending one Vaman Rao to beg food on his

behalf and wishes that he should be given that service. However, Narke

later gave up the thought and visited Sai in his full suit. Baba said that

from that day onwards Narke should beg on his behalf. This service was

allowed to Narke for four months!

 

S.B. Dhumal was one of the beloved devotees of Baba. One day Baba said to

him, “Bhau, the whole of last night I had no sleep.” “Baba, why so?” asked

Dhumal. “I was thinking and thinking of you all the night”, Baba said.

Dhumal was overwhelmed and shed tears of joy. Baba was thereby assuring him

that He was conscious of the constant remembrance of Him (Baba) that Dhumal

was practising.

 

Once this devotee persuaded Radhakrishnamai to part with her colored

portrait of Baba and was passing before the mosque, wishing to get it

consecrated by Baba’s touch later. Baba at once called Dhumal into the

mosque and asked him what he was carrying. Then he took the picture in his

hand, gazed at it steadily both at its front and rear and then returned it

saying, “Keep it”. Dhumal's wish was thus at once granted.
