Baba's love for his devotees

[Guest guest]

It was a 1914 Ramnavmi day-a day of annual fair at Shirdi; about

sixty to sixty-five thousands of people had come to pay their

respects to Baba. The Police Party with their officers, big and

small, was also present for (proper Bandobast), keeping the crowd in

order. Baba had had sat up since early morning, and so when it was

past 11 a.m. devotees round about asked the police to stop the

coming visitors for a -while to enable Baba to have His breakfast.

Baba said, "I have no appetite for food to-day. The bustling crowd

was rushing to the Dwarkamayi jostling one another and pushing its

way towards Baba. In the mean which an old woman aged about 60-65

Years, seated away from the Dwarkamayi, was bowling out without a

break, requesting Baba, to have mercy on her and to favour her with

His benign sight, Shri R. A. Tarkhad passing through the crowd heard

her shouts and so being cut to the quick, led her to Baba through

the surging crowd. As soon as she saw Baba, she fondly caressed Him;

tears rolled down her eyes and she stood speechless for a few

minutes, Baba blessed her by keeping His blissful hand on her head

and inquired of her in minutest detail the well-being of her family;

then He told her, "I have been waiting for you; tell me what you

have brought to me for my food?" She said, "I had brought a loaf and

two onions with me; but when I came half way I felt so very

exhausted and hungry that sitting by a stream, I partook half of the

loaf and one onion. The other half of the loaf and one onion are

left unused; please do justice to them. Baba eagerly ate that loaf

with onion saying, "Ah! How sweet these are." Devotees surrounding

Baba and listening to what passed before their eyes were very much

struck the reception accorded by Baba to the loving old poor woman.
