106. The son, full of enthusiasm, came with his mother to pay homage. Listening to what Sai said to his mother astounded him. 107. “Oh, mother! What should be done. To-day when I went to Bandra, as usual, I did not get anything to eat, or drink rice-water, and had to return hungry. 108. Mark the bonds that we have from the past births! Even

if the doors are closed, I entered at my own sweet will. Who can obstruct me? 109. The master of the house was not at home. I was ravenously hungry. I had to return without food, in the heat of the afternoon sun”. 110. When he heard these words, the son immediately realised that his father perhaps had forgotten to offer naivedya. 111. The son requested Baba to let him go home. But Baba did not allow him and got him to do the puja there only. 112. That very day, he sent a detailed letter from Shirdi. On receiving and reading that letter the father’s heart melted. 113. His letter was also received there (the letters crossed). The son was also surprised. His eyes also filled with tears, which rolled down. 114. See the sport of Sai! Would love not gush forth? Who could be so stone-hearted, who would not melt by this? 115. Now listen to the miracle about Baba’s favour shown to the loving mother of this very boy, once when she was in Shirdi. 116. When she was in the kitchen and the leaf plates were set for the meal, in the afternoon, a hungry dog came to the door. 117. A piece of the bhakri, which was in her plate, was about to be given by her to the dog, when a pig, bespattered with mud, arrived there, oppressed with hunger. (She fed both). 118. This incident happened in its natural course. She did not give any importance to this or bear it in her mind. But Sai on his own opened this topic, when she was present. 119. After

the afternoon lunch, when the lady came as per usual practice, and sat in the Masjid at some distance, Sai said kindly – 120. “Oh mother! You fed me to-day, because of which I am full upto my throat. I was overcome with hunger and you satisfied me. http://www.saileela s.org/books/ sss/index.
