Swami Samarth had the capacity to read the minds of all the people coming to him and also was able to know about their past and future. Baba Saheb Jadhav, one of his great devotees one day came to meet the Master. Seeing him suddenly Swami Samarth said “Oh Potter! there is a summon coming your in your nameâ€. The potter being in close circle of Swami Samarth, understood the meaning of this sentence and begged of the Swami to save him from the approaching death so that he could continue to serve him (the Master).

Moved by his devotion Swami Samarth looked up towards the sky and muttered something as if he was addressing to someone who was invisible. Suddenly, he pointed his hand towards a bull passing nearby and said in a loud voice “go to the bullâ€. In the presence of a large number of devotees, the bull instantly fell dead. Jadhav, with a fresh lease of life, devoted himself totally to the service of Swami Samarth there-after. Similarly, a European engineer from Solapur visited Swami with the earnest hope of having a son. As he approached Swami Samarth, the latter just looked at him and told that he would have a son within a year. That is what exactly happened.The Sadguru or the Spiritual Masters always endeavor to change the quality of men that encounter them. Besides bestowing material benefit, they try to uplift them spiritually. Once a Jewish doctor who was working as an eye

specialist in the J.J. Hospital, Bombay met Swami Samarth.

 

The doctor was very proud of his professional competence. Seeing him Swami Samarth asked “tell me doctor, how many of the eye patients you have treated have lost their eye sight foreverâ€. This sentence made a tremendous impact on the doctor. He realised that many people had lost their sights forever even if they had been treated by him. His ego immediately vanished and thereafter he became a devotee of Swami Samarth. After retirement the doctor settled-down at Akkalkot and served the Master till the last.It is said that a touch-stone can convert an ordinary metal to gold. The Spiritual Masters are such touch-stones that they can convert an ordinary metal not to that of gold but to that of a touch-stone. They are capable of giving spiritual life to any person in a fraction of a second by a touch, a look, a word or even by a mere thought.

 

A person like Ramanand Bidkar who had lived an immoral life for a long period was converted to a Saint called Bidkar Maharaj by the kind grace of Swami Samarth, who by one look i.e. Drishti Diksha evolved him spiritually. Under his guidance, Sri Balappa Maharaj, Sri Gangadhar Maharaj, Sri Gajanan Maharaj and many others rose to spiritual eminence and contributed a lot to the society.After serving the poor, curing the sick and helping the spiritual seekers over a few decades, Swami Samarth one day suddenly announced that the time had come for him to go out of his physical existence. It was Chaitra Sudha trayodasi Shaka 1800 i.e. the year 1878 AD on Tuesday at 4 p.m. At this time he seated himself in Padmasana (Lotus Posture) and uttered his last words - “No one should weep - I shall always be present at all places and I shall respond to

every call of the devotees â€. Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi had also said exactly the same thing before his Mahasamadhi.
