Baba's Talk with Devotees

Baba's Talk with Devotees


Baba, to Balakrishna G. Upasani Sastri: Will you give me dakshina?

Balakrishna G. Upasani Sastri: I have no money.

Baba: What is that in your pocket? Give it.

Balakrishna G. Upasani Sastri: This is a silver watch. Take it, Baba.

Baba: Do you think you are losing by giving this.

Balakrishna G. Upasani Sastri: Nothing given to you is a loss.

Then Baba received the watch and at once gave it away to some one present.

Balakrishna G. Upasani Sastri went on to Poona and there a rich friend, learning that he had given away his watch to Baba, compelled him to accept a gold watch (without knowing the above words of Baba). So, Balakrishna G. Upasani Sastri was a gainer and not a loser by giving away his silver watch.
