Sai Satcharitra - Ovi to Ovi english Translation - Chp- IX

[Guest guest]

16. So neither the market nor the shopping! Tatya remembered Sai Mother and felt that if he had obeyed timely, he would have avoided the accident. But nothing can be done about things past. 17. On another occasion, a similar incident took place. Tatya set out to go to Kolhar village. He harnessed the tonga and came to seek permission and bowed at Baba’s feet. 18. “I’ll just go and return”, he said. He had not got his consent, nevertheless Tatya went ahead and left. Listen to what happened next. 19. The tonga had a horse which ran uncontrollably. The horse started rearing. He did not pay heed to the hurdles or obstacles on the way. It was a question of life and death. 20. Be it so. With Sai’s grace that danger was averted. The tonga dashed against the babul tree. It was fortunate that it broke there. Further danger was averted. 21. Similarly, an European gentleman, residing in Bombay, came for Sai’s darshan with some inner motives. 22. He had

some influence with Chandorkar, who wrote a letter to Madhavrao. He asked for a tent and stayed there comfortably. 23. Could anyone dare to climb the steps of the Masjid and return after taking darshan, at one’s sweet will, against Baba’s permission? It was known to every one that this was impossible. 24. He tried thrice to climb the steps of the Masjid but it was all in vain. The spirits of the guest were dampened. 25. His inner wish was to climb up the steps of the Masjid, bow down to Baba by falling on his knees and sit down there after kissing his hands. 26. That was his wish. But Baba did not let him come up to sit close to him in the Masjid, at that time. 27. He should be down in the courtyard and sit there only, if he wanted. He could take the darshan from there only. But he

should not come up. 28. Be it so. Later on he thought of leaving. He came into the courtyard to take leave. Then Baba said he should go next day. Why is there so much of a hurry? 29. A lot of people told him and requested him, in several ways, not to go. Those who left without permission had greatly repented, they said. 30. Nothing can

prevent what is fated! He did not follow the advice and left without permission. He suffered on the way. http://www.saileela s.org/books/ sss/index.
