BABA TESTING DEVOTEE'S VAIRAGYA

 

 

Kakasaheb Dixit once came with a trunk full of silver rupees, which

he had earned by working for a Native State, and placed it before

Baba.

 

Kakasaheb Dixit: All this is yours.

 

Baba: Is that so?

 

Then Baba opened the lid and with both hands drew out all the

contents and poured the same to all and sundry. In a few minutes, the

trunk was empty.

 

Mr. Garde, Sub-Judge of Nagpur and a friend of Kakasaheb Dixit,

watched the latter's face. Kakasaheb Dixit had not the slightest

regret or sorrow or concern at the disappearance of his hard earned

fees.

 

It was evidently to test and strengthen his vairagya that Baba

scattered his money thus.
