18th September, 1936

ramchandra sitaram dev alias Balabhau or Balabhat, aged 55 (60) Brahmin, Lanlord, Varsova Road, Andheri says:

I saw Baba first in S. 1830 (i.e., 1908). I had already heard of Him from Das Ganu Maharj at his Kirtan at Kafyan. I knew Amir Sakkar Khatik i.e., butcher of Bandra. He also spoke highly of Baba and asked me to go and see him. So I went to Shirdi along with Sri Krishna Patil. Sathe's wada was the only resort in existence then. But we had our lodging at Ganapati Temple. On that day, there was no crowd of Bom­bay visitors but there were crowds of the locality and neighborhood. I was Intending to go to Akkalkote and Amir Sakkar said "Shirdi is on the way. Call there and then go to Akkalkote." So I wanted just to see Baba and start off for Akkalkote" when we saw Baba he said "I must go to Akkokot and thereby expressing the predominating idea in my mind. I was struck at once by his power to read what I had in my mind, and I decided to spend the day with him at Shirdi. But I had no end to achieve by my visit or stay beyond the pleas­ure of being near a

great soul. Next day I went away, with His leave, to Akkalkote. I was being drawn to Him. So I repeated my visit e.g., I went there next Deepavali. At that time there were crowds from Bombay with Baba. There were 5 or 6 ac­companying me. I sat up between 8 P.M. and midnight with Baba (at the Mosque) and I then asked Him to give me Upadesh and be my Guru.

Baba : "It is not essential that one should have a Guru. Everything is within us. What you sow, you reap. What you give you get. There is no need for a Guru.

It is all within you. Try to listen within and follow the direction you get, "We must look at our self. That is the monitor, the Guru",
