121. The whole village was frightened and worried. They came in and filled the courtyard of the Masjid and some stayed under the eaves. They put forth their grievance to Baba. 122. Shirdi abounded in temples of Jogai, Jakhai, Mariai, Shani, Shankar, Ambabai, Maruti, Khandoba, Mhalsai. 123. Yet, at any critical juncture, no one

was of any service to the villagers except the one and only, prompt and quick Sai, who helped in all difficulties. 124. He did not need sacrifices of goats and cocks, nor offerings of money. All that he desired was true devotion to sweep away all difficulties. 125. Maharaj was greatly moved by seeing the panic of the people. He left his seat and came forward and stood near the plinth of the Masjid. 126. The sky was reverberating with the sound of thunder and the crackling lightening set the sky ablaze with light. In the midst of all this stood Sai Maharaj, shouting at the top of his voice. 127. Gods love their devotees and their saints and sages more than themselves. Gods heed their words and take human birth for their sake. 128.

Gods have to espouse the cause of the devotees on hearing their appeals. They uphold all requests as soon as they are made, recalling the faith of the devotees. 129. Loud bawls followed one after another, resounding in the sky. The Masjid seemed to shake. Everyone was deafened. 130. The Masjid and the temples resounded with that earth-shaking voice. Then the clouds stopped their own thunder and even the rains stopped pouring. 131. Baba’s loud bawling was so profuse that the whole courtyard full of people got rooted to the spot, whispering amongst itself. 132. Baba’s skill and powers were inconceivable. It had an effect on the rains. The wind also was immediately controlled and the darkness caused by the fog was dissipated. 133. Slowly, slowly the rain decreased. The wind also lessened. The constellations

became visible. The darkness was dispelled by that time. 134. Later the rains completely stopped. The galing winds quietened. The moon appeared in the sky. Everyone was cheered. 135. Indra melted at the plight and upheld the words of the saint. The clouds were dispersed in all directions. The whirlwind calmed down. http://www.saileela s.org/books/ sss/index.
