Hazarati Durvesh Haji Mohamed Siddique Phalke

 

In the 11th chapter of the Sai Satcharita the incident of

Baba's wrath on Siddique Phalke is given. How Baba put forth 3 questions

and the wonderful answers that Siddique Phalke gives. Durvesh

Haji Mohamed Siddique Phalke was born in Kalyan around 1841. He was an

affluent Jamindar [land owner] and had vast acres of farmlands.

Sophisticated, intelligent, well read, and spiritual. He had travelled

widely; Bhagdad, Constantinople, and Mecca were some of the places that

he had visited. Dada Shaeb Khaparde has recorded one of his visits to

Shirdi dated 14-12-1911- 23-12-1911 in his Shirdi Diary.

" Dada Saheb Khaparde himself was extremely learned and spiritual, states

that Siddique Phalke was a gentleman of the 'old sort'; a Karma-Margi

and very intelligent. He was spiritually developed and learned; the

conversations that they had were pleasant and instructive. Baba liked

Phalke a great deal and is said to have granted his wish.

During that visit Phalke had a vision and he asked Dada Saheb to ask

Baba it's meaning. The vision was about 3 girls and a blind women who

had come to amuse him WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?. He ordered them out or they

would be kicked out and began to pray. They fled upon hearing the

prayer. He then blessed everyone in the room; and in the house and the

whole village. Dada Saheb was barely seated before Baba, when Baba said

He was beaten last night by something on His private parts and hands. He

then applied oil; wandered about, had a stool, sat near the fire and

felt better.

Siddique Phalke was married to Kursheed and had two sons named Gulam

Mustafa and Mohammed Mukram. He loved to wear spotlessly white clothes.

Whenever the Dwarakamai was washed with cowdung Baba would summon Phalke

and make him sit on the wet floor much to Phalkes' discontent. But when

he got up his clothes remained spotless as before.

Baba loved and had great respect for Phalke and whenever permission was

granted for his departure Baba would walk the 100 paces with him and see

him off at the breach in the wall. Phalke lived in a huge building in

Kalyan called Phalke Wada and it still stands even today.

In # 11 the story of Siddique Phalkes attempt to obtain Baba's grace is

given. He stayed for 9 months in the north facing Chavadi; trying in

vain to enter the Sanctum Sanctorum. Then he sought Shyamas help. Baba

finally relents. And asks Shyama to ask him whether he will carefully

walk the straight and narrow path that goes beyond the 'Baravi' well.

Siddique Phalke answers that whatever difficulty he may encounter he

will carefully tread that path.

In fact there is no well-called 'Baravi' in Shirdi or the neighbouring

villages. Here Baba asks Siddique Phalke whether he is willing to tread

the straight and narrow path; fraught with difficulties whether he is

willing to do a 12-year penance [tapasya]? The penance of the 12 inner

disciplines, which are as follows 1.Viveka [discrimination] 2. Vairagya

[Renunciation] 3. Niswartha[selflessness] 4. Sama[calmness] 5. Dama

[self-control] 6. Uparati-[self-withdrawal] 7. Titiksha [forbearance] 8.

Samadhana [self-settled ness] 9. Shradha[faith] 10Satsang [holy-company]

11.Mauan [silence of the mind]. 12 Ekanta-Dhyana [solitude and

mediation] The 'Self' ready for complete freedom. Lastly the Gurus grace

without which nothing is possible.

Siddique Phalke indeed came to Baba of and on for 12 years.
