91. That Vitthal is very elusive. Hold to him firmly otherwise he will slip away, if your attention wavers even for a moment”. 92. This episode took place in the morning. Again, in the afternoon, see further evidence of the joyous appearance of

Vitthal. 93. A hawker from another place outside Shirdi came to the village with the intention of selling twenty to twentyfive beautiful pictures of Vitthal. 94. It was the exact replica of the image which was seen in the morning meditation. Dixit was surprised and he recalled Baba’s words. 95. Dixit very lovingly purchased one of the pictures by paying the price to the seller and installed it with devotion for the daily worship. 96. There is another beautiful episode of the worship of Vitthal being equivalent to offering respect to Sai. Listen to it with joy and happiness. 97. Bhagwantrao Shirsagar’s father, one of the leading devotees of Vitthal, often went to Pandharpur. 98. There was an image of Vitthal in the home. But when the father passed away, the performance of the puja, offering of the ‘naivedya’12 etc. was stopped. Even the rituals at the

time of death anniversary were discontinued. 99. Bhagwantrao also gave up the annual pilgrimage to Pandharpur. But when he went to Shirdi, Baba recalled his father and said : “He was my friend. 100. He is my beloved friend’s son. That is why I have dragged him here. He does not offer naivedya. He starves me also. 101. He keeps Vitthal also hungry. Therefore, I brought him to Shirdi. Now I’ll remind him and make him do the puja”. 102. Once knowing that it was “Parva” (holy time), Das Ganu wished to bathe at Prayag Tirth and came to Baba to take his permission. 103. Baba, in return said : “You need not go that far for it. This itself is our Prayag bank. Have strong faith in your heart”. 104. Oh, how can I praise Baba’s greatness! As Das Ganu put his head at Baba’s feet, water trickled out from both his toes as if it was the water of Ganga and Yamuna, oozing out. 105. Having witnessed this miracle, Das Ganu was overcome with emotion. What a great favour was bestowed on him by Baba! Tears sprang from his eyes.. http://www.saileela s.org/books/ sss/index.
