DIVINE EXPERIENCES – DOCTOR OF DOCTORS SAVES US

9th December 1936

Tukaram Barku, Aged 40, Mahar, landlord, Shirdi says:

I have had some experiences of Sai Baba personally. In 1912, when water was

first let into the Godavari Canals here, I was starting from Karanjigaon, a

village twenty miles off to go some work and thereby to maintain myself. At the

very start when I was in the village on the Kopergaon road, Baba met me on his

way to Lendi or back from Lendi garden. He put his arm round my neck and said,

"Do not go." I disregarded this advice and went to the said village. The after

I reached it, I had fever that continued for a long time. Working for bread was

out of question and I had to depend upon the kindness of some relations there to

look after me. After 15 days of such fever, I felt strong enough to get back to

Shirdi. But even here I was suffering from fever for about 45 days. Then I

asked my mother to get me Baba’s udhi. It was applied to me and the very next

day the fever ceased.

M.G. Pradhan, Clerk, Collector’s Office, revenue Department, (Old Custom House)

living at Venkateshwar Press, Chawl, near Sandhurst Road, Mumbai says:

I have heard of Sai Baba. I had lost my 7 years old son Dattatreya was greatly

upset. I was thinking that I should go and see Sai Baba. One day, I had a dream

in which I saw five sadhus seated. I asked one of them, "Which of these is Sai

Baba?" And he pointed to one as Sai Baba. Then I proceeded to Sai Baba of

Shirdi taking with me Sitaphal (Custered Apple), Ramphal etc., of my own garden

at Janjira, and presented them to Baba, took darshan and sat before him. The

figure I had seen in my dream as Sai Baba was the very figure that I saw at

Shirdi. Baba began to fall foul of me and abuse me saying, "Why does the fool

go on lamenting the loss of a son? It is merely going to earth. The body must

go to the earth. Why go on lamenting for that?" Again he said, "Scatter your

Ramphal far and wide." That (I learnt) meant, scatter knowledge, of course

after obtaining it.

Then Baba to describe to someone present my house and my garden and state the

exact number and locality of my Sitaphal and Ramphal trees etc., with the

accuracy and certainty of neighbour, who had actually seen it often. He told

others of me that I had lost my son fifteen days previously and was vainly

lamenting over it. He was going on removing my poignant grief and fortifying my

faith in him, by abundant proof that he knew everything about me and about every

one that came to him. I stayed there for four days. During those days, many came

to him and he told them facts about them which they mentioned to me and others,

as remarkable proof of Baba’s knowing everything.

This was the real starting of my faith which has proved a valuable asset for my

spiritual and temporal life. Though I did not visit Shirdi again till 1935, I

had got such intense faith that whenever I was in trouble, I beheld his person

in dreams and he gave me help. For the last two years, I have not had such

visions or contracts. My faith had first got a stay by the sudden and

unexpected obtaining by me of leave and funds etc., for my first trip to

Shirdi. I noticed that during the 4 days I stayed at Shirdi. Baba was full of

Udasinatha. He rarely spoke. Mostly he remained absorbed in himself, and looked

as immobile as one drunk or insane. One grand instance of Baba’s help to me

(long after he left the body) may be now given. In 1932, my young son was

attacked with severe fever. After 3 or 4 days of such fever the pulse appeared

to have failed. Our medical man Mr. J., MBBS was brought down to see the boy.

He said that the pulse had ceased and the child was dead. He

began to console my wife. I was quite ruffled and unwilling to accept his view.

I took up some Udhi of Baba and applied it to the child’s face and had placed

Baba’s photo before the boy and I was intently praying to Baba. The medical man

said I was superstitious. I declared that Baba was God and would save the boy.

About three fourth of an hour passed. Then the boy regained consciousness and

actually got up and later began to play.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

Love, even when provoked, is never hurt. Love is ever patient and forgiving,

loyal and trusting – and ever gives without any thought of receiving.

Tamaso Ma Jyotirgamaya.....

One day, a man, travel-weary and tired. In his quest of the Unknown, he had

visited many places and met may holy men; he had wandered to many pilgrim

spots, but his quest remained unfulfilled. And he said, "Much have I wandered

and many places of pilgrimage have I visited, but I have not found Him yet.

Whither may I go?

Brother beloved! He whom thou dost seek – He is not far from thee! He is the

deepest Self of what thou art. Enter into thyself and know that in thee is He

whom thou dost seek. Thou mayst wander the wide world through, thou wilt not

find Him outside thee: for He is within! And in all thy search never forget

that the One thou seekest is He who seeketh thee!
