One V.S.Joshi had sent Rs. 10/- to Baba as dakshina through a friend who

was going to Shirdi and requested him to take a photograph of Baba. The

friend, on reaching Shirdi, gave Baba the dakshina but had not the courage

to take the photograph. After a few minutes Baba suddenly told the

gentleman to take his photograph the latter took two snaps of Baba one in a

sitting posture and the other in standing posture.

 

Baba’s knowledge of the future which is an aspect of his omniscience is

illustrated by following leelas:

 

In December 1910, one day Dixit and Nana Chandorkar persuaded their friend

Sahasrabudhe to go for the darshan of Baba. On the way, a gentleman met him

at Kopergaon and said of Baba, “I know that mad fakir well”. Sahasrabudhe

was in doubt whether the remark was indeed true. When he reached Shirdi,

and bowed to Baba, the latter said, “You must bow down to Noolkar and to

Bapusaheb Jog; that does not lower us in anywise.” When he did accordingly,

Baba told him to serve Noolkar wholeheartedly. He went on repeating the

same words. Sahasrabudhe then requested Noolkar to tell him what service he

could render him. Noolkar was embarrassed and said, “Whatever Baba might

have told you, please do not tease me like this.” Replied Sahasrabudhe,

“But tell me whether you have some hidden powers.”

Noolkar denied any such. Then Sahasrabudhe asked Baba repeatedly what he

meant in ordering him to serve Noolkar. At last Baba said, “Experience is

not for bullocks (like you). Only he who knows can receive it.”

Sahasrabudhe concluded that there is some hidden truth in Baba’s words and

decided not to leave Shirdi before knowing it. “All right!”, said Baba

answering his unspoken thought. Later Shama asked Baba, “When will you give

leave to Sahasrabudhe to go home” Baba brusquely replied, “I’ve things to

work out with him. Let him stay on here like a dog!”
