OVERCOMING OF KARMA FOR

SARANAGATA

Bhimaji Patel

At Junner in Pune district was one Bjhimaji Patel. he had contracted

Tuberculosis with continuous fever, ejecting bloody sputum and had gastric

trouble also. All remedies he tried were in vain. All pujas

were in vain. N.G. Chandorkar sent him to Sainath. Bhimaji came; and to alight from his tonga,

four men had to support him. Shama conducted him to

Baba.

Baba: Shama, in bringing this thief to me, what a load of

responsibility you are placing on my shoulders!

Then Bhimaji (placing his head upon Baba’s feet): Helper

of the helpless. I am helpless. Pray, show thy pity and grace unto me.

Baba changed his

tone and spoke to him with a smiling face.

Baba: Stay, cast

off anxiety. the wise avoid anxiety. Your sufferings

for your past karma have come to an end, as soon as you put your feet on

Shirdi. Persons in great trouble, sunk in their

misery, rise to joy and happiness as soon as they climb the steps of this

mosque. That Fakir (God) is very kind and will eradicate your disease. He will

show his love. He is kind to all. Go and stay at Bhima

Bai’s house.

Accordingly Bhimaji stayed in Bhima Bai’s house, using Baba’s udhi

only. On the first day Baba Himself applied the udhi

to his forehead and placed His palm on his head.

Baba: Bhimaji, walk to your quarters.

Patel was at

once able to walk up to his carriage, without being supported by any. Baba did

not give him any medicine, but gave him something better and more effectual. Bhimaji had two dreams. In the first he had become a boy.

His teacher in teaching a lesson, birched him vigorously

and the man roared with pain in his sleep. In the next dream, Bhimaji found that some one had got upon his breast and

rolled over it a heavy stone roller and he felt the pangs of death. Then he

awoke with these dreams, his disease had fled. he

slowly walked up to the Masjid and bowed to Baba.

After a month’s more stay with Baba, he went home hale and healthy.
