Guest guest Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 You and I Are Not Different This is an anecdote, narrated by Late Shri Vilhalrao Marathe, former Shirdi Sansthan Musician and Keertankar, at a Satyanarayan Puja at Shirdi. One day two pious pathans came to Dwarkamai early at dawn for Shri Baba's darshan. They paid obeisance to Baba and sat in front of Him. As they sat there, shivering in the piercing cold, a thought just touched the mind of one of them, " How fine would it be if we could get a cup of hot tea at this time! " But the very next moment he brushed it away, saying to himself " It is foolish to expect hot tea at this remote village particularly at this hour, where tea may not even be known to some, " Just then Sagun Naik, who ran a sort of an inn for devotees, coming to Shirdi, came there for his morning darshan of Shri Sai Baba. After bowing to Him, he asked Shri Baba what he should bring for His breakfast. Shri Baba said, " Sagun go and bring quickly a kettleful of hot tea. " Sagun was wonderstruck. He had never seen Shri Baba taking tea; but he was a dedicated and disciplined devotee. Without asking any question, he went home and returned soon with a kettle full of steaming tea. The pathans were baffled! They drank the tea to their hearts content. They had never expressed their wish for tea to anyone, yet Shri Baba had seen through their minds, they at once realised that Shri Baba was not only an ordinary holy man but a Superman, who was one with every being!
