Sadu chose the Better Part

and not Bade Baba

Sadu Bhayya (Sadashiv Dundiraj) who was at Harda on

15-2-1915 was walking with some friends at 4 pm. Suddenly Baba appeared to be

coming from the opposite direction and he passed his hand into Sadu Bhayya’s and leaving a

toothpick in the latter’s hand and disappeared.

A sceptic Friend: What is that has happened now?

S.Bhayya:

One thing is certain. When we were coming on, I had no toothpick in hand. Now I

have got a toothpick here. Baba has given me this.

Sceptic

Friend: Why not write to Shirdi and verify? Sadhu Bhayya wrote ro Shama and on Shama’s

invitation went to Shirdi and narrated all facts in Baba’s presence.

Baba: Sadu, go and tell this to Bade Baba. Sadhu

Bhayya went and narrated it before Bade Baba, Dr. Pillai and others. Bade Baba very much excited began to

think and came weeping to Baba.

Bade

Baba: What Baba, you have been giving me large sums of money but money only;

but to Sadhu Bhayya you

have given Sakshatkar.

So

saying he wept.

Baba: What is to

be done? Each gets what he chooses.

Bade baba who had plenty of money and

paid income tax on them subsequently lost all fortune and died.

N R Sahasrabuddhe found Baba was distributing prasad to

devotees. the quantity in Baba’s hand being but

little,

NRS feared that

nothing would remain for him.

Baba (giving him

a bit) said, with a smile, “There is nothing for you” and thus rebuked

him for his anxiety and attachment to earthly goods.
