Ambrosia in Shirdi Part-1-Baba's Leelas before 1918

Leela 70

Once Nana arrived at Shirdi at about 12:00 noon and took Baba's darshan. Baba

told Nana that He wanted to eat puran poll. Nana was reluctant at first, as it

was way past 12:00 noon. He told Baba that he would offer it the next day. Baba

wouldn't agree to this and told Nana, "No matter how long it takes, I want puran

polls today." Nana went and searched for a lady who was willing to prepare them

for Re. I/- each. In the evening, he came to Dwarkamai with freshly prepared

delicious puran poli and placed them before Baba. Baba, however didn't touch

it, let alone, put a morsel in His mouth. After a while, He asked Nana to take

it away as He had eaten.

Nana was vexed to hear this, as Baba hadn't eaten it, after all the trouble he

had taken to get them prepared. He went to the Chawdi in a huff. Baba called

him and told him to eat it, as He had already partaken of it. This happened

twice. Then, Baba said, "You have been with Me for more than eighteen years.

What have you learnt from Me? I've eaten your puran poli in the form of ants."

Nana wasn't convinced. Intellectually, he knew that Baba was everywhere and in

everything. But, it was hard for him to accept it. Then, Baba made a sign to

him, and that was a secret, deep in his heart that nobody knew about. Nana then

realized that He was indeed in his aatma and the aatma of ants and every living

creature."Gurur Brahma Gurur
