Sai Satcharitra - Ovi to Ovi english Translation - Chp-III

May 6, 2007

121. That virtueless woman does not observe the veil. She is without modesty

and shameless. If driven out she comes back forcibly into the house.

122. As soon as he stops shouting12, the wicked woman seizes the opportunity

to enter. When he shouts she flees, leaving him pure of speech, body and

mind. That gives me profound happiness.

123. No one should oppose him. Let him shout to his heart’s content. I

cannot pass the night without him. I have great pleasure because of him.

124. Shouts of this type are greatly to my advantage. In this way the

Rohilla is benevolent and makes me extremely happy.

125. Let him shout as he pleases. In that itself is my well-being.

Otherwise, that wicked wife will trouble me.

126. When he himself gets tired, he will keep quiet automatically. Your

purpose will be served and that wicked woman will not trouble me”.

127. When Maharaj said so, any further effort was futile. If Baba’s mind is

not disturbed, then why should we be concerned.

128. As it is, the Rohilla was very enthusiastic. Moreover, he was now

licensed by Baba.13 So he started to recite the Koranic verses very loudly

and created chaos.

129. The people were amazed at Baba’s forbearance. Instead of the splitting

headache, the shouting sent him into rapture.

130. How horrible were the shouts! It was a wonder that they did not parch

his throat! But Baba still persisted in telling all: “Do not admonish him”.

131. Outwardly, the Rohilla appeared to be a mad Moslem saint, but he

respected Baba greatly. Happily, according to the tenets of his religion, he

would recite the verses of the Koran.

132. He did not care whether his own voice was soft or shrill. No sooner was

he inspired that he would start shouting the name of God.

133. Nature had endowed him with a rattling voice. He regularly and

constantly shouted “Allah Ho Akbar”14 and the verses with great joy.

134. Baba disliked association with one who loathed God’s name. Then why

would he think of driving away the Rohilla when he was continuously

repeating God’s name?

135. “Wherever my devotees are singing my praises I am present there. There

I am without rest, alert and without sleep”. As if it were to prove the

utterance in the Bhagvat Gita that Baba behaved in this way!
