Devotees Experiences R.B.Purandhare part 3

[Guest guest]

Once he asked me to give him all the old copper coins

I had. I gave him all I had. I don't know what he did

with them. He had old coins tied neatly in a cloth (so

as not to make any jingling noise) and keep them in

his side pockets. He asked me for Dakshina. I gave up

everything. Once I thought I had nothing left of all

my coins. Then Baba said, "you have still a two anna

piece in your pocket. See." I saw and found it and

gave him that also. He used to completely exhaust the

finances of many in this way. I do not know with what

object he did that. Some people asked him why he

wanted so much money. Baba replied. "I am not asking

of every one. I ask only from the man whom the Fakir

(God) points out. But in exchange, I have to give that

man ten times the money for my own use. I have no

family etc." He used to give the money freely to all

people, singers, tamashi. Fakirs, etc. He used to

bring lots of fuel for his Dhunimayi -mother fire at

the Dwarkamayi.

 

 

Sai Baba was seriously ill in 1915. He had Asthma. He

would not eat anything then. He was breathing hard; I

cried. Baba asked me "Why cry?" I said "I cannot see

this state of yours. Baba said, "Don't fear. In two or

four days I will be alright, Allah has given me this

sickness and he will make me alright, within that

period. You need not cry. I was remembering you the

last two or three days and told Kaka to write to you

to come." Kaka did not write. Sai Baba said "Do not

write, he is coming himself. In fact, some how I went

up during his illness, not knowing he was ill. He

never took medicines for his illness as a rule. Even

during his illness, he was supported and carried by

the devotees to his begging place. There he would beg

and come back and yet not eat the food. He carried on

his usual routine of begging, lending, etc., even

during all that illness. One day, during his illness,

he climbed up the terrace of one house through a

staircase, then went over to the next house terrace

and over Radhakrishna's. Then a man lifted him up and

brought him down to the ground and that man was paid

by Baba, 3 or 4 rupees. Baba then said. "We must not

get the labour of anyone for nothing." I saw all this.

Ambulance-chair was then brought for him, but he never

used it. Malegaonkar Fakir Baba (called Bade Baba.

Bade Mia by Sai Baba) was getting most moneys.
