Sai Baba the Master

[Guest guest]

20-2-1912 : “Sayin Saheb told (us) two stories of which, do what I like, I

cannot recall the first. I asked my wife and all those present and they

also forgot, which is wonderful. The other story was that there was an old

woman living with her son. He used to assist her in the disposal of the

dead bodies in the village and get remuneration for it. There prevailed a

sort of plague and many died. So his emoluments were very great. Allah met

her one day and told her not to profit by the trade of her son. She spoke

about it to her son but the latter paid no attention and he eventually

died. The old woman then maintained herself by spinning cotton. Allah told

her to go to the house of the relations of her husband, but she declined to

do so. One day some brahmins came to purchase cotton from her, spied out

all the details of her house and broke in at night. One of the burglars

stood naked before her. She told him to run away as the town people would

murder him for his crime. So the man ran away. Eventually the old woman died

and was born as the daughter of the burglar. I am not quite sure that I

understand the story right."

 

23-2-1912 : “He told me a story : when he was young, he went out one

morning and suddenly became a girl and continued to be so for a time. He

did not give many details…. Madhavarao asked Sayin Baba today about my

return and got a reply to the effect that times being very unfavourable to

me I would have to remain here a few more months.”

 

26-2-1912 : “He told me a story of his brother having misbehaved once, and

being outcasted in consequence. Sayin Baba looked after him and eventually

had him re-admitted to the caste”.

 

28-2-1912 : “He (Sayin Baba) asked me if Jivamuni would pay. I could not

make out what Jivamuni meant but replied that he would (pay) if ordered. He

said Jivamuni would not. He gave me a lot of fruits and sweets”.

 

29-2-1912 : “After the wada arti I went to the musjid to attend the

procession to chavadi and the shej arti there. Sayin Saheb exhibited anger,

abused those that had got on the roof of the musjid for lighting lamps and

at the time when the procession started he threw his stick at Mrs. Tai Jog,

the wife of Bapusaheb. At the chavadi I thought he would beat Bapusaheb Jog

for he approached the latter, held his hands and demanded why arti was done,

but after a while he beat Bala Shimpe with his stick and later on (he beat)

Triambak Rao whom he calls Maruti. Bala Shimpe ran away but Triambak Rao

received the blow standing and prostrating before Sayin Maharaj. I think he

received a full measure of favour and got at least a stage ahead

(spiritually)”.
