59. BABA FULFILLED THE DESIRE OF CHILIM SMOKERS

[Guest guest]

Baba required only two or three chilim per year. The cost of one chilim was

2 pie. But Baba placed a heap of chilim in a corner of the Masjid

(Dwarakama-yee). Even if Baba refused this, the pot maker (Kum-bhar) gave

two hundred or three hundred chilims and stored as a heap in the corner of

the Dwarakamayee and received money from Baba. One day, B. V. Deo gone for

Baba's darshan in the afternoon. Baba was there alone cleaning the chilim.

On seeing the heap of chilim, Deo asked Baba "Baba you required only two or

three chilim per year. Why you haye stored so many chilim?" Baba replied

"what you have told is correct in respect of devotees coming here for

smoking. But about the smoking devotees who took away the chilim unseen, are

chilims not required to them ?" That is why, I stored them there.

Surrender Shri Sai Completely \ Stupendous Delectation and

Delivervance be there .
