TRANSCENDENTAL UNITY AMONG SAINTS
"Saint is MY soul I am HE HE is MY pure soul"
BHAGAVAN SHRI KRISHNA
Saints like Samartha Ramdas, Ananda Murthi, Kabir, Gajanan maharaj, Janaki Das, Gangagir, Ananath, Samrath, Sadguru, -Sri Sainath Maharaj and others are the great spiritual souls incarnated in various Parts of the country from time to time. Most of the saints who had the GOD vision are the true representatives of the GOD, came to earth to lead and guide the people on right path for self realisation. What ever may be the method of preaching, the divine mission is one and the Same. They were found to be very simple, humble and above all merciful. Their mutual relations have been very cordial and supplementary. The spiritual linkage has been nicely and very clearly inducted by Shri Das Ganu Maharaj in his famous book "SAI HARI KATHA". Ha says "that BABA was saint Kabir in HIS previous birth and Vyankusha was none other than Ramanada Maharaj who was the Guru of Kabir. Tajuddin Baba, was a contemporary of SAI BABA". Saints are the best benefactors. The reincarnation of saints or sages on earth is ordered by the Almighty to carry out mission.
Some of the worth appreciating, harmonious cordial relations of saints are illustrated below.
Shri Bhai Krishnaji Al Bagkar a groat devotee of Akkalkotkar Maharaj wanted to go to Akkalkot (Sholapur District) for taking darshan of Padukas (foot prints) of the Maharaja of Akkalkotkar. The Maharaj appeared in his dream, asked him to visit SHIRDI as it is HIS resting place. Accordingly, the gentleman visited SHIRDI, had the darshan of SAI and as a reminiscence of the vision he installed the Padukas under the Neem tree. BABA told Krishnaji that HE himself is Akkalkotkar Maharaj. This shows how Saints supplement the work of each others.
Once Shri Ruttonji Wadia of Nanded approached BABA for having issues. BABA asked Es. 5/- as Gurudakshina and at the same time nformed that he has already received Rupees three and annas fourteen.
The balance of one rupee and annas two was to be paid. Mr. Wadia paid the balance willingly. Mr. Wadia said to Das Ganu that it was his first visit to SHIRDI and he had not seen BABA earlier, How is it, that BABA received rupees three and annas fourteen. It was revealed that he spent rupees three annas fourteen on a muslim saint towards reception and the expenditure incurred, exactly tallied with rupees three and annas fourteen. That a great wonderfull event is this to note the unity between one saint and the other.
Shri Schinde of Harda had no male issue except seven daughters. In 1903 he prayed to Lord Shri Dattatreya at Gangapur for a son and vowed that he would bring the son to the Lord with in a year. 'He was granted a boon but he failed to take his son to Gangapnr, In 1911 he visited SHIRDI. SAI BABA uttered that male issue was not in his destiny HE Tore up HIS body and gave him one. Mr. Schinde felt very deeply and begged for pardon.
Once Upasani Maharaja did not offer Naivedya to SAI BABA 'who come to him in disguise of a black deg. He offered to his celebrated Ditty who did not accept it on the plea that he failed to recognize saI BABA.
Another striking incidence of co-ordination and affectionate relationship was witnessed in a cocoanut case. A pleader by name Shri Pundalikar Rao was given a cocoanut by saint Vasu Devanand Saraswati known as Tembey Swamy at Rajahmundry (in Andhra Pradesh State) to be handed-over to his beloved brother SAI. Shri Rao broke-down the same cocoanut given by the Saint at Manmad station to quench his thirst. No sooner he reached SAI BABA the later demanded the cocoanut sent by his brother. Shri Rao became helpless beyond words, fell down on the feet of BABA and asked him to pardon, He wanted to bring another' cocoanut in place of it. BABA did not agree saying that the cocoanut sent by his brother was matchless and was mere than any precious thing on earth and no cocoanut can compensate it.
Shri Harishchandra Pitale from Bombay who prayed BABA was given rupees 3/- and was asked to worship along with Rupees 2/- already given. Pitale did not understand Rs. 2/- since it was his first visit to BABA. On reaching home his mother informed that Swami Akkalkot had given Rs. 2/- to his father. Thus BABA proved that HE is Akkalkot.
A Kanerese Saint Appa (near Belgaum) advised Shri V.H. Thankur to go through Vichar sagar a very sacred book on Vedanta. He was informed that by his good luck he would meet a great Saint in near future who would lead him further. As predicted by Saint Mr. Thankur met BABA who reminded him about his meeting with Appa and guided him in spiritual matter. This strange incidence is nothing but the divine assignment and promoting co-ordination of the two saints.
Shri Haribhau Karnik of Dahanu (Thana district) after offering dakshina to Sri Sai Baba left the Masjid. While stepping down the Masjid he thought of paying one more rupee but did not do as he had already taken the permission of BABA to leave SHIRDI. After some time he met saint Narsing Maharaj in Kalaram temple. The saint demanded rupee one it was gladly given by Karnik. What a wonderful event and co-ordination of two great saints.
Now let us see how saints treat and respect each other.
Once Meher Baba met Shri Sai Baba. The later addressed him as PAR VAR DI GAR". Meher Baba who knew the real worth said that 'SAI BABA is the Master of creation".
Once Nanavalli asked BABA to got up. BABA smilingly and willingly got up and offered his gadi (Seat). Nana wali after sitting for while got up and prostrated before Baba and then requested him to ensure the seat. Every one there wondered as why Baba had submitted to Nana Wali. This shows the love and affection of Baba for a real devotee. HE fulfilled the idea of becoming a slave to a model devotee.
Let one be a saint or a devotee, if found very proudy or showy was disliked by Baba. This is seen in the case of Haji Sidik Palke. This gentleman after Haj (visiting the sacred place i.e, Mecca and Madina) came to SHIRDI and stayed in Chavadi. Baba used to see him daily but never spoke to him months together. He was not allowed to step into Masjid. All wondered to note that such an holy person was ignored by BABA. After nine months Shama asked BABA about his strangee behaviour with this holy man BABA replied that Allah has not permitted him to do so. After putting Haji to many trails, one day Baba went to Haji scolded him by saying that be was very proud of his pilgrimage to Mecca and pose himself to be a very great man. Haji became helpless and could not answer. There after Baba went to Masjid and sent sent mangoes to him and then he went to him and took rupees fifty five from his pocket and gave them to Haji. Later on Baba allowed Haji to stay with him and treated him pleasingly. This is how Baba behaved with an holy man.
He who took the name of Allah or GOD was liked and respected by bAba. This is seen in Rohilla's case. This man used to recite (Allah Ho Akbar), so loudly that the villagers in SHIRDI were disturbed. Many times the villagers approached BABA but BABA never drew him out of SHIRDI. Nobody knew the secret of Rohilla except BABA. To get rid of bad thoughts and to get peace of mind the Rohilla used to recite the name of GOD round the clock loudly, BABA never took objections to the ways of Rohilla's rememberance of GOD. After some time the Rohilla left SHIRDI.
Shri Javahar Ali (a fakir) lived in SHIRDI with SAI BABA He was highly learned man and used to recite Kalma from Quran very sweetly. Ho attracted a very good number of people in SHIRDI. BABA took no objection to become his disciple. The Fakir did not urderstand the greatness of BABA whereas the later knew the weaknesses. As desired by his Guru BABA accompanied him to Rahta but the people of Shirdi soon brought both of them back to SHIRDI, At that time a saint Sri Devi Das Janani was alreacly residing at Maruthi temple in SHIRDI. He tested Jawahar Ali found wanting and defeated in many religious disscussions. The Fakir left SHIRDI and after some time returned to SHIRDI- Ho came to know the supernatural power of BABA and prostrated before BABA. BABA received him with great respect. The Fakir became the Chela and Sai the Guru. BABA never disgraced him for his handicaps on the other hand he loved him, Thus BABA set up an example as how an ideal saint should behave with the saints and so called saints.
