Now to continue the story from the previous chapter... Baba disappeared from Shirdi and reappeared with Chand Patil. Listen to how all this happened. 2. How Baba created and tended the garden by himself watering it ; of the gathering of Gangagir and other saints. Listening to this narration will be

sanctifying. 3. Later on, Baba who had disappeared for some time, how this gem of a person returned to Shirdi in the Barat1 of a Muslim. 4. Before that, Devidas had taken up residence at Shirdi and later Jankidas, the ascetic, also came there. 5. How all this happened, I will recount in detail. Listeners, listen to it attentively and with respect. 6. In a small village called Dhoop, in the

district of Aurangabad, there was a fortunate Muslim, whose name was Chand Patil. 7. While he was travelling to Aurangabad, he lost one of his mares and there was no trace of her for two months. He lost all hope. 8. Patil became completely despondent and was greatly distressed by the loss of the mare. Carrying the saddle on his back, he began his return journey. 9. Leaving Aurangabad four and half kos2 behind, he came across, on the way a mango tree, underneath which he saw this gem. 10. Wearing a cap on his head and a kafni on his body, a wooden stick under his arm, crushing tobacco and preparing it for filling his chillum for a smoke – when a strange thing happened. 11. As Chand Patil was passing by, he heard the fakir calling out to him: “Come along here, have a smoke and then proceed further. Sit for a while in the

shade”. 12. The fakir asked him what was the saddle for and Patil answered that he had lost his mare. Then he told him “Go and search for it near the stream”. The horse was found immediately. 13. Chand Patil was wonderstruck and thought to himself that he had met an ‘aulia’3 ‘There is no limit to his powers. He cannot be called an ordinary being’. 14. Afterwards Patil returned with the mare to the original place. The fakir made him sit next to him. He then picked up in his hands a pair of tongs. 15. Then he thrust it into the soil there, took out a burning coal and put it on his ‘chillum’4 which was in his hands. Then he picked up his ‘satka’5. http://www.saileela s.org/books/ sss/index.
