Baba's love for his devotees :part 3: Uddhavesh

[Guest guest]

A devotee Shyamdas alias Uddhvesh of Dehnu left for

Dwarka, with a party of pilgrims by steamer from

Bombay. Uddhvesh had with him all the tickets of his

party. It was usual to issue one ticket for both the

steamer and boat journeys; Uddhvesh kept ready in his

pocket the boat part of tickets and put the other part

of steamer tickets in his money-purse. The steamer

being overcrowded, Uddhvesh had to be standing in the

gallery. For reasons best known to him he thought of

taking out his purse. In doing so the purse slipped

out of his hand and fell in the midsea. The purse had

all the steamer tickets and all his money. As to the

steamer tickets, on showing to the Ticket checker the

boat counter part of the ticket the T.C. allowed him

and his party to pass, but all his money were in the

purse, and as a greater part of the pilgrimage yet

remained to be covered, he was embarrassed. He never

begged for alms. His only shelter and resort was Baba.

So he wrote to Baba at Shirdi about it, but before

even that letter had reached Shirdi, Baba appeared in

the dream of the late Girdhar Gopal of Dehnu, as a

neatly dressed priest and said, "Your father at Dwarka

has no money. So send it to him." Girdhar awoke and

sat up for more than an hour trying to understand the

meaning of dream he had; but he could make out

nothings; feeling drowsy he then went to sleep. Again

the same priest appeared in his dream but he now

seemed very very angry; again he ordered Girdhar to

send money to Dwarka at once without fail. Again he

sat up; he awoke his wife; opened his door, looked

here and there, but found none. After some time he

remembered that Uddhvesh had gone to Dwarka and so he

must have been in dire necessity of money. He now felt

convinced that this surmise of his was correct, so

next morning he went to the post office and remitted a

sum of money duly insured to Uddhvesh by Telegraphic

M. O. Uddhvesh was very much surprised to receive the

Telegraphic M. O. and only came to know from Girdhar,

how he was ordered by a temple priest to send him

money etc. When thereafter Uddhvesh went to Shirdi,

Baba told him "I also had money sent to you", he felt

convinced that it was Baba alone who had relived him

from his worries and so he felt assured that he had at

least One, Whom he can ever look to for protection in

the midst of all sorts of difficulties.
