BABA TESTING DEVOTEE'S VAIRAGYA
Kakasaheb Dixit once came with a trunk full of silver rupees, which he had earned by working for a Native State, and placed it before Baba.
Kakasaheb Dixit: All this is yours.
Baba: Is that so?
Then Baba opened the lid and with both hands drew out all the contents and poured the same to all and sundry. In a few minutes, the trunk was empty.
Mr. Garde, Sub-Judge of Nagpur and a friend of Kakasaheb Dixit, watched the latter's face. Kakasaheb Dixit had not the slightest regret or sorrow or concern at the disappearance of his hard earned fees.
It was evidently to test and strengthen his vairagya that Baba scattered his money thus.
