76. He went and sat cross-legged behind Baba, put his arms tightly round his waist and pulled him back. He asked, “See what has happened!” 77. “O deva, what have you done?” 17 At these words, Baba became aware of the circumstances. “A child suddenly slipped into the furnace from the arms being astride the waist (of the mother). 78. Hearing her husband’s calls, and being afraid, the blacksmith’s wife took her child into her arms and started blowing the bellows of the furnace. 79. While blowing, she lost her concentration and forgot that the child was in her arms. The child was extremely restless and she slipped. Shama, no sooner had she dropped, that I picked her up. 80.

While I tried to take out the girl, that this incident happened. Let my damned hand be scorched! The child’s life is saved”. 81. For the pain and suffering due to the arm, what remedy and by whom should it be done? Madhavrao decided to write a letter to Chandorkar. 82. He wrote the letter in detail. Chandorkar arrived in Shirdi immediately, bringing along with him the famous Dr. Parmanand. 83. To ward off the burning sensation, Dr. Parmanand brought with him a number of medicines which would be useful and came to the feet of Sai to serve him, with Nana. 84. After having bowed down to Baba, he asked him about his well-being, told him the reason for his coming and requested him to show him his arm. 85. But since the time the arm was burnt, Bhagoji Shinde used to apply ghee,

place a leaf upon it and tightly bandaged it, every day. 86. To remove the bandages, to show the arm to Dr. Parmanand, to start taking medicines to heal Baba, 87. with this good intention, Nana implored a great deal; and even Parmanand tried to remove the bandages and see the arm. 88.

Not to-day, tomorrow – again, the same thing – thus he never allowed his arm to be seen saying that his doctor was ‘Allah’. He was not the least disturbed about it. 89. Whatever medicines Parmanand had brought were never even opened in Shirdi. But, it was his good fortune to have Sai’s ‘darshan’ and, therefore, perhaps this incident happened. 90. It was always Bhagoji who served him. It was only Bhagoji who would massage the hand. Then, after some time the hand healed and everyone was happy http://www.saileela s.org/books/ sss/index.
