[Guest guest]

IMAGE WORSHIP

 

 

172. Bandra lady came and sat before baba with chronic (7 years)

headache.

 

Baba (touching and gently stroking her head): Your head is aching. Is it

not?

 

BL: It was. Now it has ceased.

 

(The chronic headache left her at once and for-ever)

 

Baba: You have been feeding me so well these years.

 

BL: I am seeing you only now.

 

Baba: But I have been seeing you ever since your infancy.

 

BL was greatly puzzled.

 

Baba: What worship had you in your house?

 

BL: Ganapathy's

 

Baba: In your mother's house?

 

BL: Ganapathy. I have given all flowers fruits and eatables to

ganapathy.

 

Baba: All that has come to me. So since your girlhood I have been seeing

you.

 

173. BL: Baba, people say that my Ganapathy is right handed and besides,

one hand is broken and so they say it must be thrown away. Is that

right?

 

Baba: If your child breaks its arm, will you cast it into water? Worship

it daily.

 

[baba: Mother, I have to visit your house thrice a day, Then follows the

conversation in No.76 ante)

 

76 (BL: Yes, Baba

 

A local lady was astonished at this statement as she saw Baba daily at

Shirdi, and said " Baba what is this strange thing you say?

 

Saibaba: I do not speak falsehood. I am Mahalaxmi. Mother I came to your

house. You give me things to eat, is that not true?

 

BL : Yes Baba

 

Shirdi Lady: Truly, does Baba go to you and do you feed him?

 

BL: Yes.

 

Baba to Master T: Do I not come to your house?

 

Master T: Yes, baba.

 

Saibaba to Shirdi Lady: Yes, mother, I go easily to Bhav's house (I,e.,

Bhav's house at Bandra). In the middle, there is a wall, Jumping over

it, next comes the railway line, and then Bhav's house. (Here Baba

described the crow's flight from Shirdi to the lady's house at bandra).

I have to fly across walls and excavations.)
