It is noted in G.S. It is noted in G.S. Khapardes diary that Baba pointed out to

him that his body had got emaciated, his digestion impaired, and his food

reduced to bare bread and water, due to worries of looking after innumerable

devotees. Yet in spite of this, he must, up to the time of his departure from

this world go on doing his duty whatever be the consequences. Baba put his hand

into the fire Dhuni at Dwarakamayee to save the life of a blacksmith’s child

that had fallen into a blacksmith’s fire elsewhere. And, when asked about the

pain and the trouble caused by burning. Baba said that he had saved the child

and that God would cure his bum. It is believed that when Baba passed away in

October, 1918 Tatya Patel was lying ill in a critical condition, and Baba gave

up his own life to save the life of Tatya, his much favoured pupil to whose

family he was indebted all his life, especially in his earliest days, for

sustenance.

 

Giving up life is very dramatic. But what is more is life to constant service

not minding any question of health or comfort. That is the real Seva referred to

in the Bhagavad Gita, as commented upon by Baba himself. The sishya as stated by

Lord Krishna has to render perpetual service to the Guru, having dedicated to

him at the very beginning his Tan, Man, Dhan, and he must not retain any idea

when rendering service to the master that he is free either to render or not to

render service, but think he is only carrying out his surrender of body and mind

by devoting every little power possessed by him to the service of the master.
