Chapter 45:::

Kaka Dikxit doubt’s

Baba blesses His devotees as ever even after His mahasamadhi. One morning as usual Kaka Dikxit was reading Eknath Bhagawath. The topic of the day related to the nine Nadhas (realized souls) of Rishaba family preaching to King Janaka on devotion. Shama and Mahajani too were with him After the reading Kaka lamented that he and his likes could never have devotion to Lord like Nadhas and hence there was no hope for salvation. Shama did not like this. He said that they had the diamond among the saints in Sai Baba and He had assured them that remembering His name or that of Hari was enough for salvation. But Kaka was not consoled and the whole day he was depressed on this issue. Next day when reading started Ananta Rao Pagade came and started narrating the following strange dream he had the previous night.

“Myself and Shama were standing in knee deep water in the sea. Baba was seated in an effulgent throne stunned with diamonds. At the request of Shama, Baba raised His feet above the water and I fell at His feet. He said immediately ‘You will receive your benediction. Now on there is no cause for fear or worry. Give silk dhoti bordered with zari to my Shama.”

Shama said to Kaka: “Yesterday you were assailed by doubt. Today Baba has sent you the reply.” The silk dhoti, brought by Pagade, was accepted by Shama, only after getting Baba’s permission by casting chits before His portrait.
