76. Buva was accompanied by an ass and a companion who was also his disciple. He continuously chanted “Ram – Krishna – Hari”. 77. He was 95 years old. He spent four months of the monsoon on the banks of the Godavari and stayed for about eight months at Pandharpur. He visited Baba every year. 78. Gazing at Baba in all humility, he would say : “This is Pandharinath incarnate, protector of the destitute, the merciful. 79. Can anyone become a saint by wearing dhoties with silken borders? To become a saint what is required is hard penance till the bones wear out thin and blood becomes water. 80. Can one attain God-hood without efforts? This is Pandharirao incarnate. The world is ignorant. Believing this firmly, perceive the divinity

behind it”. 81. These are the words of the great devotee, who loved Pandharinath. Compared to him, what experience can a humble man like me boast of? Let the listeners’ own experiences be the best guide. 82. Baba loved the “Nama-Smarna”. He himself constantly repeated the words “Allah-Malik”. He would arrange for a seven day ceaseless chanting of the “Nama” in his presence, day and night. 83. On one occasion, Baba commanded Das Ganu11 to conduct such a seven-day chanting, when Das Ganu sought an assurance from Baba that then Vitthal should appear in person. 84. Baba laying his hand on his heart assured him with confidence and told him firmly “Yes, of course, Vitthal in person will appear. The devotee should be full of faith. 85. Dankapuri of Dakurnath, or Pandhari of Vitthal, or Dwarka Nagari of Ranchod are here only, in search of which you need not go a long distance. 86. Is Vitthal going to come from anywhere else, leaving his private quarters? He would appear here, springing up out of the intense devotion of the devotee. 87. By serving his parents Pundalik captivated the God of Gods. Seeing

Pundalik’s devotion, the Lord stood on the brick and waited”. 88. After the seventh day of the chanting, Baba’s words came true and it is said that Das Ganu had darshan of Lord Vitthal at Shirdi. Thus Baba’s prediction was experienced and verified. 89. Once when Kakasaheb Dixit was in meditation, after his routine morning bath, he got darshan of Vitthal. 90. Later on, when he went for Baba’s darshan, Baba surprised him by asking: “Had not Vitthal Patil come? Did you meet him? . http://www.saileela s.org/books/ sss/index.
