15. BABA CONVERTED SHRI BABA SAHEB BHATE A SCEPTIC INTO A DEVOTEE:

Shri Balasaheb Bhate and Shri Nanasaheb Chandor-kar were college friends. Shri

Balasaheb Bhate was a sceptic. He first came to Shirdi in 1894. He was a

Mamlatdar at SAKORI. A sant by name Bhau Maharaj came to Bhate. The Sant made

Keerthan about KABIR and KAMAL. Bhate heard this attentively and patiently with

keen interest. Afterwards he came to Shirdi and Baba has made him to stay in

Shirdi for six months on leave and has not gone to duty even after six months.

His Superior (Personal Assistant to the Revenue Commissioner) came to Shirdi

and asked Bhate to rejoin duty. Bhate told him "that he puft down his per once

and it has put down for ever. From that time, he left his post of Mamlardar.

Kakasaheb Dixit, Nanasaheb Chandorkar and Madhava Rao Dehs-pande (Shama)

requested Baba as they were very anxiety about his family after giving up his

job. Baba told him to write an application. Bhate filled an applica­tion as he

served for 13 years. By the grace of Baba, he got a pension of Rs. 29/- per

month without trouble. This shows that a sceptic turned as a Ascetic and a

staunch devotee of Baba.Surrender Shrl Sai Completely \ Stupendous Delectations

and Deliverance be there !
