DEVOTEES' EXPERIENCES OF SRI SAI BABA BY H.H. NARASIMHA SWAMIJI - PART III

[Guest guest]

but I told him that I could not trifle with such important official engagements

except at the risk of being turned out of Government Service. He again went to

Baba to make further representations and intercede on my behalf. But Baba did

not grant leave. He on the other hand told my father-in-law to prevent my

starting by actually confining me in my room. Even on the days following the

particular date, I was not allowed to go. After three days, I was made to start

for Manmad. When I reached that station, I found the other members of the

Committee had not gone to Manmad on the appointed date that the original

programme had been altered and that the committee's

meeting had been postponed. I had ordered, on the faith of the old programme, my

tent and articles to be sent from Manmad to the other fixed camps. By a strange

inadvertence on the part of the Railway authorities my articles had not been

sent away from Manmad. If they had been sent, great inconvenience would have

been caused to me to hunt them up and re transport them. So by deten­tion at

Shirdi I lost absolutely nothing except my peace of mind, and I was saved a lot

of unnecessary trouble and en­abled to spend more time with my family and with

Sai Baba. Of course Sai Baba knew all things and arranged all things. But in my

ignorance, I felt my position at Shirdi to be very delicate and risk. Such

instances strengthen one's faith and reliance on Baba.

Arial">In my official career, I was getting dissatisfied at not getting the

promotion I deserved. My disgust I revealed to Baba and told Him that I would

even resign service on that account. But Baba forbade my resignation of service

and said that I would get promotion. Sometime later, I was pro­moted over the

head of some seniors in service and posted to Kolhapur as Ag. Superintendent of

Land Records. I got an increase of Rs. 100 in pay and eventually a higher

pension than those seniors. About pension also, there was some trouble. The

pen­sion department at first treated my last permanent place as the Deputy

Collectorship and ignored my sub-protem higher post. So they cut off Rs. 50

from the pension which I ex­pected as due to me. I appealed in due course and I

went to Sai Baba and told Him that I would forego the whole pension rather

accept it with the curtailment of Rs. 50 He said that I would get the Rs. 50

also that Allah would help me. So I put my case in appeal before the Revenue

Commissioner Mr. Curtis and with his note, I got the proper pension without any

curtailment. Sai Baba controls minds and moulds events. To Be contd
