Guest guest Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Baba appears to be mad and bad through His external peculiar behaviour and seems to be illiterate. His happy and pleasant moods immediately followed by mad behaviour (in our view) scolding very badly in unworthy language and beating with ‘Satka’ males and females are some standings. But the multimillionaire of those days, Shri Booti, the well learned, highly educated and better qualified Sarvashri G. G. Nakre, G. S. Khaparde, Rao Bahadur, M. W. Pradhan etc, did not at all dare enough to open their mouth and thus dumb found before Baba with folded hands, eagerly awaiting to carry out the instructions and orders of this ‘Almighty’, know all the deeds of ‘Sai Saheb’ are for the welfare of devotees and they are blessings in disguise. Even though this ‘God’ amongst us played like a father, with His children, in those days with Shama, Mahalsapathi etc., with the close intimacy Shama often used to forget the Divinity of Baba. Only after the physical departure of Baba, Shama could come to know actually what he lost and worried and started repenting for his innocent behaviour towards “his God” with his close intimacy. This kind Fakir led a royal life as a ‘true fakir’ with ’panch Bhiksha’ and stood as an example. Nana Valli’s test is an example for this. There is no value for wealth, pomp and show in the view of Baba. The King and pauper are equal to Him. The most potent and effective weapon, the new invitation and patent medicines of this Hakim “UDI” is the Sarva Roga Nivarini, Sanjeevini: all of us know. The premier servant of ‘this Doctor of doctors’ Bhagoji Shinde was a leper naturally we hate. But no other devotee was affected. In 1910 pushing His arm in the Dhuni, Sai Deva saved the life of a blacksmith’s child. It clearly shows that ‘the all persuasiveness and mercy of this ‘Shirdi God’. When Mrs. Khaparde worried much about the plague of her child and approached Baba, Baba took his suffering showing the same to Mrs Khaparde, saying, “See, how I have to suffer for my devotees. Their difficulties are mine”. The whereabouts of the missing mare of Chand Patil were informed and fire and water for chillim were created by ‘Sai Fakir’ from the same place. When the shopkeepers refused to give oil, for the whole night, there were lights in the Masjid with water. When Das Ganu placed his head on the feet of Baba, seeking permission to go to Prayag for holy bath, there flowed streams of Ganga, Yamuna water from both the toes of this Sadguru Samrat. So many persons were blessed with children; Gopala Rao Gund, Damu Anna, Sapatnekar are some examples.
