Chapter 36:::

Gentlemen from Goa, Mrs. Aurangabadar.

Two gentlemen from Goa came to masjid. When Baba sought dakshina from one person he refused the dakshina volunteered by the other. Then he said that once he was very poor and prayed to God that if he got a job he would give Him the salary of the first month. He got a job for Rs. 15 and gradually it rose to Rs. 700. But he forgot the vow and as per his karma he came to masjid and the masjid mai asked for her money. Then he said another story as if it was his own, “I was staying once in a mansion by the seashore. The man in the house stole the Rs. 30000 I had. I was then lying wailing in the portico of the mansion for fifteen days. One fakir came along and told me to pray to a Saint and take a vow to forego one food item of which I was very fond of until the lost money was restored. I prayed to that Saint and eschewed taking rice. The thief brought back the money in full. When I came to the steamer, which was full, the peon there who was unknown to me told the ship mater

that I was his relative and got me aboard. Then I reached the land, boarded the train and came to the Masjid.’ While taking food Shama told the gentleman that Baba never left Shirdi and never possessed Rs. 30,000 and all the talk meant nothing to them. Then the two gentlmen with tears said that the two stories pertained to their own life and it was unbelievable that Baba knew every nuance of the events.

Aurangabadar was not blessed with children in his 27 years of married life and his wife pleaded to Shama to talk to Baba. After repeated pleas from Shama, Baba ordered the coconut brought by the lady be broke and directing that half be given to her & said that in twelve months from thence she would bear a child. Shama who had absolute faith in Baba swore: “Mother, If you do not beget a child in twelve months, I will break a coconut on the head of this God and drive Him away from this masjid. Let me not be called Shama.’ In twelve months time the lady delivered a child and the grateful parents donated Rs. 500 to build a shed for the horse ‘Shyamakarna’.
