Sai Baba the Master - By E.Bhardawaj

[Guest guest]

Now, my own experience: In February 1973, I looked at the huge pile of

manuscripts which were my collection of Baba’s leelas and I had a passing

thought whether it was all worth the effort. Would it have been better if I

had utilized all the time and energy in japa and dhyana? I wondered how Baba

viewed it all. Early next morning, at 3.45 a.m., I had a dream in which

someone held paper in front of my eyes. The paper bore the statement, “Pen

is a mighty investment”. The moment I read this statement, I woke up.

Indeed, in retrospect, I feel that it is a mighty spiritual investment. It

was a very effective sadhana to keep my mind dwelling on Baba for over

twelve years. Moreover, the dream proved prophetic in that several works

flowed off my pen without much effort.

 

Baba’s protection was extended to dumb creatures also, even long after his

mahasamadhi. About 1932 there was a breeding bull at Shirdi which was

consecrated with the mark of a trident (of Lord Siva) on its forehead. Once

when it damaged local gardens in course of its free grazing, all the bigwigs

of Shirdi contributed Rs.3/- each and, along with the money, sent it to a

pound (or cattle-shed) at Yeola through one Bhikku Marvadi. Soon the latter

returned to Shirdi and said that he had discharged his duty. But Baba

appeared in Apaji Patel’s dream that night and told him, “Are you sleeping?

I have been tied to the door of a butcher”. Immediately he rushed to Yeola

and was stunned to learn that the bull was in fact sold to a butcher for

Rs.14/-. It was discovered there in time, released and was kept at the pound
