53. BABA FULFILLED THE DESIRE OF SHRI PILAJI GURAV

[Guest guest]

Shri Pilaji Gurav when he was about 13 years in 1912, his parents dreamt a

dream, that in the dream of his mother Baba gave Re. 0-50 Ps. and asked her

to preserve it along with her coins and thereby she would be benefited and

requested her a torn cloth to wear. In father's dream, Baba appeared and

said that he has to come to Shirdi and that there would be no scarcity of

food to him. They came from their place Korala to Rahata Bazar. Tatya

Patil's Munim (Clerk) met them in Rahata bazar and told them that Tatya

Patil wanted him at Shirdi. Accordingly he came to Shirdi and met Tatya

Patil. Tatya Patil told Pilaji Gurav that he should come to Baba for playing

Clarion. He agreed and came to Shirdi in two days and stayed in Shirdi

forever. He thought that his dream vision was fulfilled. After some days he

got disgusted with Baba's abusing them. Afterwards he did not care for

Baba's abuse. Baba used to became angry and through brick against him, but

it would not hurt him. He would run fearing for brick hurt, but Baba ran

behind him shouting stop ! stop ! ! He stopped and Baba caught hold of his

collor and told him "that he would bury Pilaji and his son" and then left

him. He used to play clarion at Dixit Wada during Arati time. He told

Kaka-saheb that I fear for Baba and His words have not understood to me. For

this Kakasaheb Dixit told "Guravj not to fear for Baba, Baba wants to settle

you in Shirdi". On the next day, Gurav with smiling face played clarion and

Baba also smiled at him. Afterwards he became a regular player of clarion

and his son got an employment in Baba's Sansthan. From this, it is

understood that Baba's abuses were blessings in disguise.
