BABA'S ACTIONS ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH

 

In the very early years of Sai Baba's advent at Shirdi, Nana Saheb

Nimonkar was once told by his uncle Balawantarao (father of Shama) of

Shirdi about Baba, "People believe he is a mad fakir. I doubt if he

is really mad, but you had better go with me, see him and give me

your opinion."

 

Earlier whenever Balwantrao had gone to see him, Sai Baba kept him at

a distance by threatening to fling a brickbat at him. But when Nana

Saheb Nimonkar went with Balwantrao he allowed them to go quite close

to him. Nimonkar's heart was charmed by Baba at the very first sight

and he assured his uncle that Sai Baba was a great saint. But

Balwantrao wondered why, Baba hurled stones at him earlier, and not

on this occasion. Nimonkar said to him, "That was because you doubted

if he was mad whereas I did not."
