46. Initially, he would practice ayurvedic medicine in the village. He would examine patients and give the medicines. He had a healing touch and became a famous ‘hakim’12 . 47. Once upon a time a devotee’s eyes were swollen and were like red balls. Both pupils were blood-red and no ‘vaid’12 was available in Shirdi. 48. The simple and pious devotees showed his eyes to Baba. Immediately, Baba got the marking-nut13 ‘beeba’14 pounded and made into balls. 49. Under the circumstances some may have put surma

(powdered pearl); some may have put wet pieces of cloth dipped in cow’s milk; others may have kept cool camphor cakes on the eyes or some would have used collyrium. 50. But Baba’s remedy was absolutely different. He picked up each ‘beeba’ ball in his own hands and pressed as much as possible one in each eye and then tied a cloth around them. 51. The next day, the cloth tied around the eyes was removed and the eyes were washed with cold water poured in a steady stream. All the swelling had disappeared

and the pupils were clear. 52. Although a delicate organ like the eye was treated by ‘beeba’, there was no burning and the disease was cured. Such were the countless experiences. 53. He knew the yogic practices of ‘dhoti-poti’. Without anybody’s knowledge he would go to a secluded place and while bathing, vomit out his intestines, wash them and put them to dry out. 54. At the same distance, as the Masjid to the well, there was further on a banyan tree at a certain spot; and, beyond it, another well, where he would go every third day. 55. Right at noon, in the blazing sun, having made sure that there was no one around, he would take out water from the well with his own hands and wash his face and perform his ablutions. 56. On one such occasion while he was

having his bath, he took out his intestines quickly and started washing them on the spot. 57. When a goat is slain, his intestines are turned inside out. After being thoroughly washed, they are cleaned and folded. 58. Similarly, he removed his own intestines, washed them inside out, and spread them on the rose-apple tree. People were extremely amazed. 59. Amongst those who have witnessed this feat with their own eyes, some are still living in Shirdi. They say that he was an unique Saint. 60. Sometimes he would practise ‘khand-yoga’ and separate his arms and legs. This way, they would be scattered here and there in the Masjid.http://www.saileela s.org/books/ sss/index.
