Guest guest Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 A tea merchant of Bombay Hansraj suffering from Asthma went to Shirdi with his wife, hired a house and attended upon Baba twice a day for the cure of his disease. Baba once and again advised him not to take curds and his wife accordingly tried her best to persuade him to refrain from the use of the curds, but Hansraj found it impossible for him to take his dinner without curds, so he ordered his wife to keep curds ready. Obeying the husband the wife always kept curds ready. To force him to do without the curds, Baba assuming the form of a cat, always devoured it when the couple was away for attending noon Arti prayers at the Dwarkamai, When Hansraj saw this, with a view to detect and punish the thief robbing him of his pet food, with a stick in hand instead of attending the noon prayers at the Dwarkamai as usual he sat at home watching. Just when the noon prayers started at the Dwarkamai, Hansraj found a cat going up the loft devouring the curds; he allowed the cat to finish the curds and then as she was leaving the house he gave her a sever stick stroke, leaving on her body a mark of the same. When in the afternoon Hansraj as usual went to Dwarkamai and paid his respects to Baba, Baba uncovered His back and showed a weal on it to the devotees there inclusive of Hansraj, stating that, that was the reward this perverse Hansraj had awarded Him. Hansraj realised the mistake he had been committing and since that day gave up curds. Souce:Shri Sai The Superman by Swami Sharan Anand. www.saileelas.org MAY SAI BLESS US ALL!!!
