41. BABA HELPED AND FULFILLED THE DESIRE OF A FARMER IN GETTING A LOAN

A farmer was very anxious to obtain from Government a loan of Rs. 500;- for

a well in his farm and he applied twice to the Government but his

applications were rejected. The farmer approached Baba in the matter and

Baba spoke to Nanasaheb, the then Collector's Chitnis about it. Nana said he

would certainly present his application as required by Baba, though he had

no hope of the application being granted. The farmer therefore, applied

again and Nanasaheb presented the application to the Collector informing him

at the same time that two similar applications of his were rejected

previously. The Collector thereupon asked the farmer why do you press the

Government for a loan? The farmer himself put clearly his case before the

Collector and said Sir, I owe Rs. 500/- to Government I am anxious to repay

the loan. I cannot do this until I have a well to water my lands to get

better crops. I have started digging the well, but the work had to be

stopped owing to the intervening of big rocks, unless they are fired by

dynamite and removed, the well work cannot be completed and I cannot get

water. Without water I cannot have enough crops to return the Government

loan and so I press the Government through this third application. The

Collector had satisfied with his explanation by Baba's grace and granted the

loan to the farmer.
