31. BABA'S EXPLANATION OF THE EVIL SPIRITS TO A BOMBAY LADY:

June 24, 2004

In May, 1916, a lady devotee from Bombay came to Baba for darshan. At that

time Baba and two other women Smt. Janabai and Smt. Laxmibai were grinding

wheat flower in the grinding stone. She asked Baba that she would grind the

wheat. Baba told her that she would feel fatigue in grinding the wheat. She

replied that she would grind as much as she possible to grind. Baba asked

Laxmibai to leave the grinding stone to her. She began to grind the wheat. She

questioned Baba why the wheat was grinding ? Baba replied that He would save

the devotees at times. She also questioned why Baba was going to the stream

side and throwing the wheat flour ? Baba told that at times "Akkabai" (Maari

Ayi, Maariamma, Cholera and small pox etc.) wanted to enter the village and I

prevented them on the other side of the stream and not allow them in the

village. That is why I have to feed them and that I throw the flour to them.

She again asked Baba whether there is "JariMari" (Durdevatha). Baba replied

there exists "Durdevatha but they won't do anything harm to us". For that she

told Baba that some were dying on account of Durdevatha for which Baba told

that Durdevatha was scolding me to allow her to enter the village. At that

time, I request the Almighty and gave her the allotted persons to her. Again

she asked Baba, "whether there are evil sprits" Baba told that there are evil

spirits and that they won't do any harm to us". She told when she was in

Naigaom in Bombay a figure of an evil spirit used to come from the well side '

and go to the room in the upstair and disappear. Baba told her that he knows

him and he was the house owner of her house and he became an evil spirit and

further told her that he used to disappear only in the room where she

delivered". She told Baba as to how he knew all these facts"? Baba replied that

He knows her from her childhood and further told her you have forgotton me. I

will call off my children even if they were one thousand miles away. My care

will always be alike towards all. All men good, bad rowdis are coming to Me I

have to look all of them.

During these conversation, she felt tired in grinding the wheat flour and asked

Laxmibai to continue grinding work. All the three finished the grinding work

and the Bombay lady knew well about evil spirits.
