Sharma's Sister-in-law

Shama's younger brother Bapaji was staying near Sawool well. Once his wife was

attacked with Bubonic plague. She had high fever and two bubos in her groins.

Bapaji rushed to Shama at Shirdi and asked him to come and help. Shama was

frightened, but according to his wont, he went to Baba, prostrated himself

before Him, invoked His aid, and requested Him to cure the case. He also asked

His permission to go to his brother's house. Then Baba said, "Don't go there at

this late hour (night), send her Udi. Why care for the fever and bubos? God is

our father and master; she will be alright easily. Do not go now, but go there

in the morning and return immediately."

Shama had full faith in Baba's Udi. It was sent with Bapaji. It was applied on

the bubos and some of it was mixed with water and was given to the patient for

drinking. No sooner was it taken in, than perspiration set in profusely, the

fever abated and the patient had a good sleep. Next morning Bapaji was

surprised to see his wife alright and refreshed with no fever and bubos. When

Shama went there next morning with Baba's permission he was also surprised to

see her at the hearth and preparing tea. On questioning his brother, he learnt

that Baba's Udi cured her completely in one night. Then Shama realized the

significance of Baba's words. "Go there in the morning and return immediately.

After taking tea, Sharma returned and after saluting Baba said,"Deva, what is

this play of Yours? You first raise a storm and make us restless and then calm

it down and ease us". Baba replied "You see mysterious is the path of action.

Though I do nothing, they hold Me resonsible for the actions which take place

on account of Adrista (destiny). I am only their witness. The Lord is the sole

Doer and Inspirer. He is also most merciful. Neither I am God nor Lord. I am

His obedient servant and remember Him often. He, who casts aside his egoism,

thanks Him and he, who trusts Him entirely, will have his shackles removed and

will obtain liberation"."Gurur Brahma Gurur VishnuGurur Devoh Maheshwar;Gurur
