BABA'S ANTARJNANA

[Guest guest]

BABA’S ANTARJNANA IN DAKSHINA

Baba (to Sankar Rao and Nachne): Give me Rs.16/- Dakshina.

Shankar Rao: No money, Baba.

Baba: Give me Rs. 32/- Dakshina.

Sankar Rao: I have no money, Baba.

Baba: Give Rs.64/-

Then Nachne: We are poor people. We can’t afford to pay such large sums.

Baba: Then collect and give.

Sometime later (1916) Baba fell ill. A big sapta was performed for his

restoration to health and subscriptions were raised for mass feeding. Then

Sankar Rao and Nachne collected subscriptions and sent up the collection. It

proved to be exactly Rs.64/-

DIVINE GRACE – PROFESSORSHIP TO G. G. NARKE

G G Narke’s mother to Baba (in 1913): My son is being tossed to all sorts

of places and he is without a permanent job. Settle him at Poona.

Three years later, an offer of service in Benares School or College came.

G. G. Narke: Baba, shall I apply for this?

Baba: What have we to do with Benares? We have to go to Poona and Satara.

In 1917 a vacancy in the Engineering College, Poona, was advertised.

G. G. Narke: Shall I apply for this, Baba?

Baba: Yes.

Later, Baba: Where is Narke gone?

Devotees: He has gone to Poona to try for the appointment.

Baba: Allah will bless. Has he any children?

Devotees: Three or four were born, but they all died after a short life.

Baba: Allah will bless.

G. G. Narke got the appointment in 1918 and the children he had after 1913 are all lived longer.
