Baba appears as or identifies with himself other saints (contd...)

[Guest guest]

Balakrishna G. Upasani Sastri, (BGU) Professor of Sanskrit, went to

Hardwar and Tapovan (Swargashram) and saw a Saint who told him that a

saligram held as an heirloom by the Upasanis for many generations had

been given by him. When asked about his identity, that saint said in

Hindustani, " lo! There was a tree (or log). One came down. The other

went up. You will come to know " . And then he went out of sight.

Many years later, at the end of 1911, he was going about to trace the

whereabouts of his younger brother,

Kasinath now known as Upasani Baba. He alighted at Kopergaon at the

request of the local mamlatdar who sent him to Shirdi. When he went to

Baba,

Baba: Go to Khandoba's

BGU: When I have seen you, Baba, I have seen all the Gods.

Again Baba: Go to Khandoba's.

When BGU came out of the Mosque and mentioned Baba's order, people told

him that Kasinath Upasani Sastri was at Khandoba's. thus Baba without

being told, found out BGU's relationship and quest. When BGU returned to

Baba, Baba spoke in Hindustani the same words that were spoken by the

Sadhu at Tapovan.

" There was a tree (or log). Two persons were up over that. One came down

and the other went up. "

Sai Baba thus showed that He was the Tapovan saint.
