Sadu chose the Better Part and not Bade Baba

Sadu Bhayya (Sadashiv Dundiraj) who was at Harda on 15-2-1915 was

walking with some friends at 4 pm. Suddenly Baba appeared to be coming

from the opposite direction and he passed his hand into Sadu Bhayya's

and leaving a toothpick in the latter's hand and disappeared.

A sceptic Friend: What is that has happened now?

S.Bhayya: One thing is certain. When we were coming on, I had no

toothpick in hand. Now I have got a toothpick here. Baba has given me

this.

Sceptic Friend: Why not write to Shirdi and verify? Sadhu Bhayya wrote

ro Shama and on Shama's invitation went to Shirdi and narrated all facts

in Baba's presence.

Baba: Sadu, go and tell this to Bade Baba. Sadhu Bhayya went and

narrated it before Bade Baba, Dr. Pillai and others. Bade Baba very much

excited began to think and came weeping to Baba.

Bade Baba: What Baba, you have been giving me large sums of money but

money only; but to Sadhu Bhayya you have given Sakshatkar.

So saying he wept.

Baba: What is to be done? Each gets what he chooses.

Bade baba who had plenty of money and paid income tax on them

subsequently lost all fortune and died.

N R Sahasrabuddhe found Baba was distributing prasad to devotees. the

quantity in Baba's hand being but little,

NRS feared that nothing would remain for him.

Baba (giving him a bit) said, with a smile, " There is nothing for you "

and thus rebuked him for his anxiety and attachment to earthly goods.
