136. In this way, after relaxation and after eating the fruits, and refreshments, Baba would return with his entourage, in a contented mood25. 137. On one side Rahata stood – on the other Nimgaon. Shirdi was midway – a small village with a small population. 138. But from the centrepoint, he never moved physically except to these two villages, although he had the knowledge of all quarters. 139. Neither had he travelled nor had he seen the railways. But he knew the timings of the trains, their arrival and departure time-table. 140. To catch the train, the devotee would make all the preparations and then go to seek Baba’s permission, when he would say : “What is the hurry?” 141. “Baba if I do not hasten. I will miss the train to Bombay and lose my job as my master would throw me out”. 142. “There is no other master here. Why are you in such haste? Go and eat a little. Go after the afternoon meal”. 143. Who is there who would dare to disobey those words! The young, the old, the wise and the learned

knew this from their own experience. 144. Whoever followed his orders, never missed their train. But those who did not follow them, they faced the direct consequences. 145. One after another, the unique, innumerable experiences of such people, of different kinds, I will tell you, later on, in short. 146.

Hemadpant surrenders at the feet of Sai and in the next chapter he will continue the same subject about how the devotees returned (from Shirdi) to their village and how Baba would give the orders. 147. Those who had the permission could leave and those who did not would stay. Those who disobeyed would suffer. This will be described in the next chapter. 148. And also about why Baba adopted the ways of a mendicant and why he ate the food that he begged for – for the sake of washing away of the sins committed daily, when animal

life is accidentally destroyed. All this would be told later. 149. Therefore I pray at the feet of the listeners, and persuade them, every moment, to listen to the Sai-Charita, for the sake of their own good. May there be well-being! This is the end of the eighth chapter “The Incarnation of Sai Samartha” of Sree Sai Samartha Satcharita, written by the devotee Hemadpant impelled by Saints and virtuous people. This is offered to Sree

Sadguru Sainath. May there be auspiciousness!http://www.saileela s.org/books/ sss/index.
