Chapter XXI

baijabaikote

In this Chapter, Hemadpant relates the stories of Vinayak Harishchandra Thakur, B.A., Anantrao Patankar of Poona, and a pleader from Pandharpur. All these stories are very interesting which if very carefully read and grasped, will lead the readers on to the spiritual path.

Preliminary

It is a general rule, that it is our good luck in the form of accumulation of merits in past births, that enables us to seek the company of Saints and profit thereby. In illustration of this rule, Hemadpant gives his own instance. He was a resident Magistrate of Bandra, A suburb of Bombay, for many years. A famour Mahomedan Saint named Pir Moulana was living there and many Hindus, Parsis and many others who followed different religion used to go to him and take his darshan. His Mujavar (priest) by name Inus pressed Hemadpant many a time, night and day, for going to see him, but for some reason or other he was not able to see him. After many years his turn came and he was called to Shirdi where he was permanently enlisted in Sai Baba's Darbar. Unfortunate fellows do not get this contact of the Saints. It is only the fortunate ones that get it.

Bow to Shri Sai -- Peace be to all

Devotees Experiences

THE SAPATNEKAR FAMILY'S SHIRDI PILGRIMAGE

When we reached Shirdi Baba was just returning from Lendi Gardens. I was wonderstruck to see that it was the same fakir who had appeared in my dream. Immediately on seeing me, Baba held his stomach and bending and twisting as if in severe pain said, “Oh, my stomach, and my back; the pain, it is unbearable.” I was worried for Baba and anxiously inquired of the devotees nearby what had happened to him. They told me not to worry as it was a frequent practice of Baba to take the pains of his devotees and act thus. They said that Baba took the pains and diseases of his devotees on to himself to give them relief and the devotees would become free of them as a result. I was surprised and also laughed a little at Baba for his dramatic performance in showing the pain. Ingrate that I was, I did not realise at that time that Baba in his mercy had done it all for my sake. I had been suffering from severe pain in my back and stomach for a long time and I realised only two or three months after Baba’s darshan that these pains had vanished from the moment Baba had acted out his charade. I was deeply moved that Baba had taken my debilitating pain on himself, experienced it, and given me relief. I thanked him sincerely from the bottom of my heart and repented for having laughed at his pantomime at the time."

That day, we took fruit, flowers and other gifts, and went for Baba’s darshan after he was seated in the mosque. My husband led the way and I followed him. The moment Baba saw my husband, he again shouted “Chal hut” as before. My husband felt hurt and sadly left the mosque. It was then my turn. I went forward and, putting my head on Baba’s feet, saluted him. Baba took a handful of udi and put it all on my head. “Take! One, two, three, four!” said Baba, “Take as many as you want.” I was immersed in bliss and forgot myself totally. My husband, however, was sunk in the depths of despair. All those who came to Shirdi were most joyfully having the darshan of Baba. They were happily carrying away Baba’s blessings and going home in eager anticipation of good things to come. And here he was – the only blessing he got from Baba was a “Chal hut!”

My husband gave this serious thought. He realised that Baba’s intransigent attitude was indeed a reflection of his own lack of faith in Baba. He remembered that when he and Shevade were studying law, Shevade had told him of Baba’s power and the miracles wrought by Baba. He had then talked ill of Baba as if he was a charlatan, and had laughed at Baba and Shevade. He now sincerely repented of his behaviour and wanted to make amends. He resolved that he would not leave Shirdi without obtaining Baba’s blessings and kind grace. . to be continued.........
