Lust and How Baba saved Hari Vinayak Sathe from falling

[Guest guest]

H V Sathe, (HVS) a Settlement Officer and devotee of Baba was staying at

his place, Sathe wada. Out of curiosity, he wished to visit a lady

devotee of Baba, whose reputation was not good. Earlier in the day, he

called upon Baba.

Baba: Saheb, have you been to " School " ?

HVS: What Baba! Have you made me a Deputy collector without taking me to

School?

Baba found HVS ignorant of local names and dropped the matter.

Later on, HVS visited the lady who lived in a place locally known as the

School. There, in the course of talking with her, sexual thoughts were

assailing him and he was in danger of a fall. Suddenly the outer door

was thrown open. Baba standing at the door made gestures which evidently

meant - " What ! You have come so far to your guru! And are you now

descending to Hell! What excellent course! "

Then Baba disappeared. HVS was saved in time by this proctor Baba. he

left the School at once and never again visited that lady.
