OVERCOMING OF KARMA FOR SARANAGATA

Bhimaji Patel

At Junner in Pune district was one Bjhimaji Patel. he had contracted

Tuberculosis with continuous fever, ejecting bloody sputum and had

gastric trouble also. All remedies he tried were in vain. All pujas were

in vain. N.G. Chandorkar sent him to Sainath. Bhimaji came; and to

alight from his tonga, four men had to support him. Shama conducted him

to Baba.

Baba: Shama, in bringing this thief to me, what a load of responsibility

you are placing on my shoulders!

Then Bhimaji (placing his head upon Baba's feet): Helper of the

helpless. I am helpless. Pray, show thy pity and grace unto me.

Baba changed his tone and spoke to him with a smiling face.

Baba: Stay, cast off anxiety. the wise avoid anxiety. Your sufferings

for your past karma have come to an end, as soon as you put your feet on

Shirdi. Persons in great trouble, sunk in their misery, rise to joy and

happiness as soon as they climb the steps of this mosque. That Fakir

(God) is very kind and will eradicate your disease. He will show his

love. He is kind to all. Go and stay at Bhima Bai's house.

Accordingly Bhimaji stayed in Bhima Bai's house, using Baba's udhi only.

On the first day Baba Himself applied the udhi to his forehead and

placed His palm on his head.

Baba: Bhimaji, walk to your quarters.

Patel was at once able to walk up to his carriage, without being

supported by any. Baba did not give him any medicine, but gave him

something better and more effectual. Bhimaji had two dreams. In the

first he had become a boy. His teacher in teaching a lesson, birched him

vigorously and the man roared with pain in his sleep. In the next dream,

Bhimaji found that some one had got upon his breast and rolled over it a

heavy stone roller and he felt the pangs of death. Then he awoke with

these dreams, his disease had fled. he slowly walked up to the Masjid

and bowed to Baba. After a month's more stay with Baba, he went home

hale and healthy.
