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

[Guest guest]

Sairam,

Devotees Experiences - Abdul

My service to Sai Baba was service to Him and to all. I washed Baba's cloths in the streamlet (odai) flowing at the village boundary. I swept the mosque, the chavadi and sur­rounding places and lit the lamp in these places and fed them and the lendi lamp with oil. I not merely swept the village streets but also removed the night soil. Baba called me Hal-alkoorf-Scavenger) and "my miriambi". I fetched water and did sundry services. Ayi during the early years of her stay did part of the street sweeping work. Even then, my work supple­mented hers. Baba protected me and protects me by giving me the needed food and ensuring my safety and progress.

About 1927 i.e., after Ayi and Baba passed away. I was in Ayi's sala, reciting Quran. The three walls of that dilapi­dated mud building suddenly collapsed and I was buried waist deep in the debris. But Baba saved rne from any hurt. Baba has given me his blessings and kept me with him. First my Guru himself directed me to be with and serve Baba, and I did so. But later my Guru came to Shirdi and wanted me to go away with him. I replied that I could do so, if Baba so ordered. But no such order having been issued I stayed on with Baba and my former Guru went way from Shirdi. Baba's blessings to me were strange and sometimes concealed in abuse and violence. He has beaten me and Jog many times. He said to me.[1][2]

•(*)

Like this, He uttered blessings and prophecies, seated before me in the morning at the chavadi and then started for the mosque.

Baba was constantly saying many things about Ava­tars etc. These have been written down in this note book.

(Here Abdul takes out and shows an old book parts of which are written in Devanagari character, parts in Modi and parts in Urdu. He does not wish to say who wrote out these pages. His own knowledge of these scripts, according to

some of his fellow-devotees is too poor to enable him to write these well. But he went on, at the request of this writer to read our Baba's utterances from the book).

Baba said of the Avatars, what follows:-

Baba said, First was Omkar.

From Omkar Bhavakar.

"I take 3 baths a day.

Only if I see the face of a lady, I can say positively whether she will have issue or will get married. I have given out such prophecies and they have come right. I owe all this to Baba. i give Asirvad to those who come to me.

" [There is much more. But Abdul is slow to read and there is no time to read more].

 

[1][2] evidently refers prophetically to the building of Buty Wada, where Abdul was living for 8 or 9 years after Baba's demise.

(1 and 2) refer to Abdul's spiritual goal being achieved by Baba.
