Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 The other story was that Sayin Baba had four brothers, one of whom used to go out, beg, and bring cooked food, bread and corn. His wife used to give out just enough for their father and mother but starved all the brothers. Sayin Baba then got a contract, brought the money home and everyone was supplied with food including the well-to-do brother. Later on the brother got leprosy. Everyone shunned him. The father turned him out. Then Sayin Baba used to feed him and see to his comforts; ultimately the brother died.” Meaning : Irrespective of the attitude of others to him, a seeker should remember that his relations with others are a result of karmic links of the past lives and he should be loving and considerate to them. “Sayin Baba (later) immersed in care, gazed steadily at the east and west and dismissed us all with the usual words ‘Go to the wada’….” 19-1-1912 : “I was aroused for kakad arti by Bapusaheb Jog. Dikshit told me that Megha died about 4.00 a.m. The kakad arti was done, but Sayin Maharaj did not show his face clear and did not appear to open his eyes. He never threw glances spreading grace. After we returned, arrangements were made for the cremation of Megha’s body. Sayin Baba came just as the body was being brought out and loudly lamented his death. His voice was so touching that it brought tears to every eye. He followed the body up to the bend in the main road near the village and then went his usual way. Megha’s body was taken under the bata (banyan) tree and consigned to flames there. Sayin Baba could be distinctly heard lamenting his death even at that distance and he was seen waving his hand and swaying, as if in arti, to say goodbye (to the departed soul). There was a good supply of dry fuel and the flames (of the pyre) soon rose very high. Dixit, Kaka, myself, Bapu Saheb Jog, Upasani, Dadakelkar and all others were there and praised the lot of Megha that his body was seen and touched by Sayin Baba on the head, heart, shoulders, and feet. After finishing the ceremonies we ought to have sat praying, but Bapusaheb Jog came and I sat talking with him. When later on I went to see Sayin Baba he asked me how I spent the afternoon. I was very sorry to confess that I had wasted it in talking. Source: http://www.saibharadwaja.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
