Baba's grace was saved from further harm

[Guest guest]

……“Baba helped B. V. Dev to surrender himself more and

more and derive Baba's help at every stage, and hence

B. V. Dev in his turn became a means of spreading

Baba’s glory. Though not quite on the large scale on

which Chandorkar did work for Baba, Dev also absorbed

Baba’s magnetism through Chandorkar and directly also,

and communicated Baba's magnetism to others.

 

But it is not always easy to make people derive full

faith in Baba. A karnam under B. V. Dev, having learnt

about Dev’s attachment to a great Satpurusha, called

Sai Baba, came to him to get Baba’s help to decide an

important question for himself and his family. That

karnam had his own Guru who, for his own purposes,

wished to get a new image to replace the karnam’s

former image and have a grand installation ceremony,

and hoped to derive considerable pecuniary profits

from the proposed ceremony.

 

So, while the priest of the karnam was insisting on

it, the karnam himself having some doubts came to Dev

and through him consulted Baba as to whether the new

image should be brought and installed. Baba was

consulted. Baba gave his opinion that the new image

should not be brought in. The consultation was through

Shama. The karnam, being very anxious to get his

priest’s advice confirmed, wanted to ask Baba, ‘What

would happen if the new image was brought?’ Baba gave

a story.

 

He said he and a companion had gone together, and he

told his companion not to buy an animal. In spite of

his advice that animal was bought and brought to the

village, and at once an epidemic of plague broke out

as the result of the animal coming in. Baba left it

there. The karnam, not fully impressed by Baba’s all

¬knowing character, tried to please his Guru and

brought in the new image. At once an epidemic broke

out and the karnam's own wife was attacked first. The

karnam asked his Guru to help him, but that Guru

wanted half the property of the karnam to be made over

immediately to the priest, and was trying in various

ways to deprive the karnam of property. The karnam

woke up. He went to Dev and mentioned how things had

turned out. Then on Dev's advice he removed the new

idol and reinstalled the old idol, and by Baba's grace

was saved from further harm.”……
