76. BABA FULFILLED THE DESIRE OF A DEVOTEE BY ACCEPTING HIS FOOD IN DISGUISE IN SHIRDI ITESELF A devotee from Devas in Madhya Pradesh came to Shirdi for Baba's darshan and stayed in Dixit wada. He used to take food daily in Sagun Mehru Naik's Hotel for both the times and reserved a plate for Baba and requested Baba daily each time to come for meals. Baba would simply laugh at his request. During the previous day of his departure from Shirdi a person of Nath Panth came to that Hotel at 10-30 P.M. When they were closing the hotel and asked Naik, "There

was a plate of meals reserved for me. Please offer that plate to me". Naik made him to sit on a comfortable asan and served the plate. The person asked Naik to call the man who reserved the meals for him. Naik went and woke the man who was in deep sleep but he was not awakend. Naik retured and told the person that the man who had reserved meals for him was in deep sleep and not awakend. Then the person told Naik "Always feed the hungry and went away". On the next day, it was known to all about this matter. Shri Madhavarao Deshpande asked Baba whether He has gone for meals in

Naik's hotel. Baba replied to him "Yes, I had gone to Naik's hotel and had my meals with heart's, satisfaction yesterday night". Afterwards it became wide publicity among devotees that Baba was going for meals even in Shirdi in disguise to satisfy His devotees. "Dear Sai devotees you are sincerely requested, that you should feed who­ever approaches you for meals even foregoing your own meals for that time. This will certainly satisfy Baba and thereby His Blessings obtained. Surrender Shri Sai Completely Stupendous Delectation and Deliverance be there 77. BABA'S WIT AND HUMOUR EXPERIENCED BY THE DEVOTEES Baba used to distribute clothes presented to Him during every Shree Ramanavami. He would give Kupni to Shri Kakasahcb Dixit, Bapusaheb Jog, Balasaheb Bhate, Madhu Fasle, Balakram, Mukthaiam and about 25 others. The devotees used to stand in two rows from Dwarakamayee to Chawadi and Baba moved here and there in the middle. Then Sagun Mheru Naik would come there. Baba asked him see how the line of devotees is it not good if a gun was hung in each of their shoulders? On hearing these Baba's words all would laugh Baba would also laugh. Once, a gentleman came to Shirdi, took Baba's dar­shan and stayed in Shirdi. He used to take his meals in Sagun Mehru Naik's hotel and had his residence in Dixit wada. He told to all that he came to Shirdi to offer lands in large scale to Baba. Madhavarao Deshpande used to pay his hotel charges and he asked Baba "Deva may I register the lands in my name". Baba told him "Yes". Then TatyaPatil asked Baba whether he may register the lands in his name Baba replied "Yes" and Radhakrishnamai also asked Baba whether she may register the lands in her name. Baba replied "Yes". One fine morning he told to that entire he would come with all the necessary stamp papers etc. for registration and went away and never returned. Madhavarao paid his hotel charges to Sagun Mehru Naik.

with Rs. 800/-in cash and with two gold rings in his fingers. A police warrant was pending against him in a hurt case. He came to Baba with the aim that Baba would save him from the malady. He stayed in Dixit wada and used to take his meals in Sagun Mehru Naik's Hotel. He used to take Baba’s darshan daily. Baba used to take dakshina from him one hundred rupees for each time and thus received all the money with him. He told Sagun Mehru Naik to write a letter to his brother for money. His brother came with Rs. 1,000/-, handed it over to him took Baba's darshan and went away. Baba received whole of this amount also as Dakshina. He was left as a pauper without money. After knowing that he was in Shirdi the police came with warrant to arrest him. Having known about the arrival of police, he went to Dwarakamayee and sat before Baba. The police also went there, took Baba's darshan and searched him. He was not visible to the

police even though he was sitting before Baba. The police after searching him went away. After the police had gone, he fell flat before Baba and Baba told him "you may go home tomorrow after taking your meals" in the wada. Your troubles have come to an end. On the next day, he received a letter from his brother that he won the case and that he was acquitted. He has went to his home with Baba's permission.

HOW SHRI TALVALKAR SAVED THE LIFE OF A DYING PATIENT WITH BABA'S UDI Once a doctor by name Shri Talvalkar came to Shirdi and took Baba's darshan. Baba blessed him and gave him UDI. He preserved this Udi with more care. He began his doctor's practice at Indore; He became a famous doctor by Baba's grace. He would open the dispensary only after Baba's Puja. He cured so many serious cases. One day a serious case came to him which had been looked after and left by so many emi­nent doctors. The patient was about to die. The doctor pacified the patient's relatives and gave medicine. After realising that no medicine will be of any use to the patient, he prayed to Baba, "Baba your grace alone would cure this dying patient" and requested Baba for his cure and gave him three packets of Baba's Udi which was with him since 1917, with instructions that it should be mixed with water and administered to the patient each

packet a day for three days. After Baba's UDI was administered, the patient became conscience. The doctor went to his house and tested him and the patient was improved be­yond his expectation. Then he gave medicine to the patient, so he gradually cured and fully recovered after a cou­ple of days. The doctor told the patient that he has not saved him. He brought him to SHIRDI and pointed out Shri Sai Baba and told that He has saved him from his dying condition. The patient paid his gratitude to Baba. From that time be became a staunch devotee of Baba. Surrender Shri Sai Completely Stupendous Delectation and Deliverance be
