DIVINE GRACE – LOAN RETURNED

3RD May 1936

Mama Dube (i.e. Kashinath Dube), Shopkeeper, Brahmin, Poona, age 70 (whose

statement is also reported in Sai Leela Masik, Vol. V, parts 2 and 3, p. 607)

says:

I was at first quite indifferent to sadhus, saints etc., One day about 1909, a

lady took a loan of Rs. 10 from me at Kopergaon where I was and she promised to

return it after she come back from Aurangabad and she also told me that a great

saint, Sai Baba, lived at Shirdi. That was the first time I heard of him and I

vowed or thought that if the Rs. 10 loan were returned (of which I was not

sure), it should be devoted to Sri Sai Baba. I went to Aurangabad and

unexpectedly the loan was returned. Later on, I went to Shirdi and saw Sai Baba

but did not mention my vow to him. He asked me for dakshina 3 or 4 times on the

first day of my visit, first Rs.5, next Rs.2, next Rs.2, next one and did not

ask me anything for two days thereafter, though I saw him all the three days of

my stay there. His demand totaled Rs. 10, just the amount I vowed, I would give

him.
