Pisat Yoni 1918

 

“Get up from here”, said a voice in a loud

confrontational manner. The devotee looked around but could not see anyone at

first. Rather confused, he wondered where the person was who gave him this

order. It was Purnima (Full moon night) and he could

see everything clearly. The ground itself was bathed in the moonlight and even

a pinhead could be found in the brightness. It was a little past midnight and the devotee had gone outside to

relieve himself. He was behind the Banyan Tree behind Dikshit

Wada. A little later, he heard something rustling amongst the fallen leaves.

Thinking, it might be a snake, he was very alert. Then he noticed ‘the

spirit’ who was clothed in a white garment and looked like a man. The

spirit spoke again, “This is my territory, so you better leave.”

The devotee looked with great concentration as he was afraid. But the spirit

added, “You are rather confident of the old man’s grace

(Baba’s grace) and protection, aren’t you?” As soon as this

was said, the devotee stood up, and was calm. “Yes, come closer and show

yourself.” The spirit started moving closer and was about 2-3 feet away

from the devotee.

 

“Stop right there or I’ll call Baba and He

will reduce you to ashes”, warned the devotee. Hearing this, the spirit

rose to the top of the tree and disappeared. The devotee walked back to his

room. At first, he thought, he would tell his mother about the incident, but fearing

that she might be frightened, he kept quiet. The next morning, after bathing,

he went to Dwarkamai, and prostrated before Baba and

sat down quietly. “Bhau, what

did you see last night”, asked Baba. “Baba, I saw a

ghost”, said the devotee. Then Bab said, “Arre Bhau, that

was me.” Puzzled, the devotee replied, “No Baba, it

was a ghost, and I spoke to it.” “It was me Bhau, ask your mother”, said Baba. The

devotee turned to his mother, who said, “Yes, Baba is in everything. Man,

bird, beast, and spirits too.” Besides, spirits are in Baba’s

control. Thus, the devotee, Babasaheb Tarkhad, learnt a very valuable lesson.
