BABA'S SIGNAL SERVICE

[Guest guest]

BABA’S SIGNAL SERVICE FOR RELIGIOUS PROGRESS

It is not merely kama that degrades the soul and takes it to hell. Krodha anger

or hatred does the same. Baba in the case of Sathe did another piece of signal

service.

Sathe had purchased a plot of land at or near Shirdi and wanted to go and see

the place. He brought a cart and wanted his wife to get into it so that they

might go and see the place. But Dada Kelkar, his father-in-law, who arranged

the sale, was anxious that claims to that land should not be put forward by

Sathe’s jatis or next of kin, as they would claim it if they came to know that

the land was purchased by him. So, he had told his daughter not to go with her

husband to see the land. So, when Sathe wanted his wife to get into the cart,

she would not come. Then at once Sathe got angry, and took the horse whip in

his hand and was ready to whip his wife for her impertinent refusal. He had

lifted his hand, when Sri Sai Baba, who was watching the whole scene, unseen,

from his own Mosque, sent up Megha to hurry up and bring Sathe to Baba. So, as

the whip was lifted, Megha said, "Baba wants you" and down fell the whip. Sathe

went to Baba. Baba there softened Sathe,

and told him that there was no necessity for him to see the land for the land

was there all the time. Sathe found how Baba had saved him once again from an

act of gross cruelty to his wife, which would also be one of the sins leading

to hell.

Conquest of temper is essential for one'’ religious progress.
