GG Narke and Baba

[Guest guest]

At Baba's Arati. G.G.Narke found him in a rage without any apparent

cause and wondered if Baba was mad. This was a passing thought. Later in

the evening when G.G.Narke. massaged Baba's feet.

Baba to G.G.Narke.: I am not mad "

 

One day G.G.Narke thought that Baba should give him the opportunity to

serve him, by going out at noon to beg food as his proxy in the village

at the four customary places, as Vaman Rao Patel, B.A.. L.L.B., was then

doing.

Some Devotee : Baba, should not Vaman Rao be sent for Bhiksha ?

Baba. (pointing to G.G.Narke }: Let this man go and beg food for me.

G.G.Narke had that privilege for four months.

G.G.Narke found Baba distributing Kupnis (gowns), and thought (from a

diastance) that Baba should give him a Kupni.

Baba. (not giving him one) : Do not blame me for not giving you one.

That Fakir (God) has not permitted me. [NB.- Kupni denotes asceticism,

G.G.Narke was not to be an ascetic but a Grihasta, i.e., a family man]
