131. The women moaned and fretted amongst themselves quite a lot; felt disgraced because of their greed; began to whisper amongst themselves and hurried immediately to the village boundary. 132. Nobody can guess the motives of Baba, because at the start no one knows what is to follow. But with patience, the result is known. Baba’s marvels are

distinctive. 133. Later on, I asked the people why Baba had acted thus; and they said that this is the manner in which he had averted the spread of the disease. 134. It was not the wheat but it was the cholera that he ground out in the grinding stone; and, afterwards, that was thrown out at the village boundary by handsful. 135. The flour was thrown on the banks of the stream. Since that time the disease receded. Promptly the bad days passed away. This was the expertise of Baba. 136. The village was affected by the epidemic of cholera for which Sainath had found this remedy. The disease was totally eradicated and peace was restored in the village. 137. Seeing this spectacle of grinding, I was taken aback. How can the cause and effect be related? How can the proof be found? 138. What could be the connection between wheat and disease? Having seen this inconceivable incident, I thought of writing this book. 139. Like the waves of the sea, love upsurged within me and I felt like singing the sweet tale of

Baba to my heart’s content. 140. Hemad surrenders to Sainath. The auspicious invocation ends here with obeisance to relations, friends and saints. Obeisance for ever to the Sadguru. Govind R. Dabholkar alias Hemadpant 141. In the next chapter I will speak about the purpose of the book; and give an insight into the capacity and the commitment to the best of my ability. The listeners should listen to it with concentration. 142. Likewise, the listeners and the writer will be benefitted by this Sree Sai Satcharita. Who is this writer Hemadpant will become clear later on. May there be well-being!
