61. Later, he would say his stotras. Nana would stay near Baba till sunset, always engrossed in Baba’s service. 62. He would take Baba to the Lendi and bring him back to the Masjid. With a heart full of love, he would do any service that was required. 63.

Even his wife would serve Baba, in whatever way it was possible for her, full of great devotion, for the live long day, there. 64. They would use their dwelling only for their baths, meals, cooking etc. or sleeping at night. 65. The loving couple spent all their time, morning, noon, afternoon and evening, near Baba; that is, all the remaining time. 66. May that be whatsoever. If I go on describing the services of both of them, this book will become exceedingly lengthy. Therefore, I shall relate only that part which is relevant to the present subject. 67. The lady had to go to Belapur as her son was slightly unwell there. She made her preparations to go there in consultation with her husband. 68. Later, Baba was consulted, as per the usual custom; and, as soon as Baba gave

an affirmative reply, she told her husband. 69. So be it. It was thus finally decided to go to Belapur. But then Nana said that she should return the very next day. 70. Nana had some reason. Therefore he told her to go but return immediately. So his wife was in two minds. 71. The

next day was the Amavas of the Pola Festival5. To spend that day also there, was therefore the lady’s desire. But Nana was not agreeable. 72. Besides, it was not considered right to travel to or from a place as it was amavasya. Therefore, she faced a dilemma and did not know how to solve it. 73. She could not be satisfied without going to

Belapur. Nor could she hurt her husband’s feelings. The question of disobeying did not even arise. 74. So be it. She made her preparations and set out to go to Belapur. Baba was on his way to Lendi and she bowed down to him. 75. Before starting upon a journey, it is customary to bow down before God and pray to remove all obstacles on the way. This was also the tradition followed in Shirdi. http://www.saileela s.org/books/ sss/index.
