Look there. My husband's plague-stricken corpse is there. The Halva is in the almirah. Take it if you please.G.G.Narke. took it, trembling for himself and for others who were going to take naivedya, with the possibility of catching plague: and he placed the Halwa before Baba.Baba.: You think you will live if you are away from Shirdi and that you would die if you stay at Shirdi.That is not so. Whoever is destined to be struck will be struck. Whoever is to die will die. Whoever is to be caressed will be caressed, (cf. 298,608)The Halwa was given as naivedya and none caught plague' from the Halwa. (b) S. B. Dhumal559. S.B.

Baba's answer permitting the removal to the bungalow came. But on the very night of going to the bungalow a dead rat was found in one of the beds and a letter was sent to Baba as to whether he should move away. S.B.Dhumal. continued to remain in the bungalow till the reply should come. The reply came advising continued stay. Later, dead rats were found all over the house, in the servant's quarters, in the well, as in the neighbourhood Then writing a letter again to Baba, S.B.Dhumal. packed his articles before reply came, and was about to unlock his house _at Nasik for re-occupation. lust at the moment Baba's reply came. It was: Why should we give up (change) our residence?At once S.B.Dhumal. went back to the bungalow and lived there. By Baba's supervision, S.B.Dhumal. and his family were, perfectly safe, (cf.9) 559A. Villagers (after Appa's death);Baba, there is terrible cholera raging in the village. Save us.Baba: Do not fear.
