Sai Baba the Master

[Guest guest]

25-12-1911 : “My son Balwant had a dream last night in which he thought he

saw Sayin Maharaj and Mr.Bapusaheb Jog in our Elichpur house. He offered

food to Sayin Baba. He told me about the dream and I thought it was a mere

fancy, but today he (Baba) called Balwant and said, ‘I went to your house

yesterday and you fed me but gave no dakshina. You should give twenty-five

rupees now. So Balwant returned to the lodgings and went with Madhava Rao

Deshpande and paid the dakshina (offering of money). At midday arti, Sayin

Maharaj gave me prasad of peda, fruits, and made a distinct sign to me to

make a bow. I at once prostrated myself."

 

1-1-1912 : “He (Upasani’s brother) went to see Sayin Maharaj and was told

(by Baba) about people bringing ties with them from a former birth and

meeting now in consequence of them. He (Baba) told the story of a former

birth in which he (Baba), Bapusaheb Jog, Dada Kelkar, Madhav Rao Deshpande,

myself and Dixit were associated and lived in a blind alley. There was his

murshid (guru) there. He (Sai) has now brought us together again…. I sat

reading again and then went to the musjid. Baba first dismissed me along

with the rest, but called me again, saying that I was anxious to run away.”

 

7-1-1912 : “The midday arti was late. Sayin Baba commenced a very good

tale. He said he had a good well. The water in it was sky blue, and its

supply was inexhaustible. Four motas (i.e., bailing buckets) could not

empty it and the fruit grown with the water was very pure and tasty. He did

not continue the story beyond this point.”

 

Meaning : Well is the spiritual heart, the pure water is the chidakash,

the spiritual expanse within, the inexhaustible source of bliss. Four

buckets are the four purusharthas or objects of man’s endeavours:

righteousness, wealth, fulfillment of needs and salvation.

 

8-1-1912 : “During te midday service after the arti Sayin Maharaj

exhibited suddenly great anger and abused violently. It appears as if

plague is likely to appear here and Sayin Maharaj is endeavouring to

prevent its reappearance.”

 

12-1-1912 : “We saw Sayin Maharaj go out and again after he returned to the

musjid. He was very gracious and repeatedly made me smoke out of his pipe.

It solved many of my doubts and I felt delighted. He was very kind to

Balwant, sent for him and let him spend the whole of the afternoon with

him.”
