61. In this way, the body would be broken in bits and pieces. The whole sight would be very gruesome. When a number of people ran to see this, they would find Baba intact. 62. Once having seen such an incident, the onlooker got terribly frightened and thought that some wicked person had killed Baba and committed this outrage. 63. In the Masjid, here and there, the limbs could be seen in all the four corners. It was midnight and no one was around. He was worried. 64. To whom should he tell this incident? On the contrary, he may be hanged! Thinking this, he went and sat outside. 65. It did not even occur to him, even in his dreams, that it was the yogic powers of Sai; and looking at the fragments of the body, his heart thumped with fright. 66. Someone should be informed of this incident. This thought occurred to him over and over again. But being the first person to give the information, he might be held as the culprit! 67. Therefore, he did not tell anybody. Many ideas came to him. Therefore, in the early morning, he went to look again and was surprised at what he saw. 68. There was not a sign of the earlier happening. Baba was sitting hale and hearty at his usual place. The onlooker was astounded and wondered if he had had a dream. 69. These practices of yoga – of ‘dhoti-poti’ – were practised by Baba since his childhood. Nobody could understand the depth of it and fathom his yogic state. 70. He never took a penny from anybody. By his own virtues, he became famous. The weak and the poor were bestowed with good health by him

and he became a famous ‘hakim’ in that province. 71. He was a ‘hakim’ only for the sake of others. He was totally disinterested for his own gain. To achieve the good of others, he endured a lot of hardship and pain. 72. To explain this I will tell an unusual story, for the sake of the listeners, which will make known Baba’s compassion and his universal (all-pervading) powers. 73. In the year 1910, on Dhanteras day15, Baba was casually sitting near the ‘dhuni’ and burning firewood. 74. The ‘dhuni’ was very hot and brightly lit up. He inserted his own arm into the fire and peacefully sat there. The arm came out scorched. 75. His servitor

Madhav16 saw it by chance and Madhavrao Deshpande was also nearby. He also ran towards him immediately. http://www.saileela s.org/books/ sss/index.
