Sai Baba the Master

[Guest guest]

10-2-1912 : “Sayin Baba was in a very pleasant mood and said that his body

has been severed from his legs (downwards), that he could raise up the

former, but not the latter. He said he had a fight with the teli (oil

vendor), that when he was young he raised money for family purposes and

agreed to serve the creditor to repay him, but he found he could not work;

so he applied marking nut (anacardium) to his eyes and another irritant

(shar) to his body and became ill. He was laid up for a year, but as soon

as he recovered, he worked night and day and paid off the debt.”

 

13-2-1912 : “Sayin Maharaj gave me udi as soon as I stepped in. So I

exclaimed that it was telling me to go away. There upon he said, ‘Who tells

you to go? Sit down.’ Then he sat talking pleasantly and said, The cow now

possessed by Mr.Dixit belonged originally to Mahalsapathy; then it went to

Aurangabad; then to Jalna and has now come back as the property of Dixit.

God knows whose property it is.”

 

15-2-1912 : “Baba was in a pleased mood and said that he had laboured very

hard, had gone without food for months, fed on leaves of kala takal, nimb

and other trees. He said God was very good to him, for life never became

extinct, though all flesh got wasted and bones appeared to be in danger of

crumbling away… My wife and others wished to go to Kopergaon tomorrow for

(holy) Sivaratri festival. Sayin Saheb thought it was unnecessary, but they

persisted and ultimately got his permission in a way.”

 

29-2-1912 : “He said that Balasahib Bhate was a khatri (the warrior caste

or kshatriya), that his wife was a salin i.e., a weaver, and that his son

Babu was also a salin. (i.e., in their earlier births). Sayin Saheb further

said that Vasudeva Kaka was a Rajput in his former birth and bore the name

of Jaisingh and that he was fond of meat and that Sayin Saheb and others

used to provoke him by asking him if he wanted the head of a goat, that

this Jaisingh had three sons who served in the army and a daughter who

turned out bad, became the keep of a barber, bore three children by him and

died there.”
