BABA'S WORDS AND DEEDS
Whatever a word Baba utters, whatever an action however simple He does, there is ocean full of meaning impregnate in it. We, normal human beings are not at all capable to understand what is the reasonbehind Baba words and deeds.
For example, we know Balaji Patil Newaskar, a great devotee of Baba. He rendered excellent and selfless service. Every day he swept and kept clean all the passages and streets in Shirdi, through which Baba passed in His daily routine (Sri Sai Satcharitra, Ch. xxxv). Baba never accepted anybody's labour free of charge and He is very liberal to give their dues. Baba paid two Rupees to the person who broughtladder just for a single use. Somebody asked Baba, why he paid so much for this. Baba replied that, nobody should take the labour of others in vain. The worker should be paid his dues promptly andliberally. (SSS Ch. xviii & xix)
Balaji Patil used to get four Rupees daily from Baba regularly for several years. While giving, Baba advised not to lend these monies, nor give them away to others, do not eat and excrete these. Babaevidently wanted the money to be invested in land purchase. Accordingly Balaji purchased 84 acres of land. When Balaji reaped his corn every year, he brought the whole quantity and presented it toBaba. He returned with what Baba gave him and maintained himself and his family with it. This was a kind of devotion followed by a gratitude devotee throughout his lifetime.
Baba did give lot of money to lot of people every day without keeping anything for Himself. Baba declined to form a mutt or Ashram or to be head or proprietor of an institution, estate or property. He left noestate to succeed to. The devotees who gave dakshina to Baba as well as who received money from Baba, both are equally benefited. The givers received tenfold returns and the persons who received stillgot higher benefit, only those who acted according to the wishes of Baba. Naturally whatever the moneys given by Baba to Balaji return back to Baba as grain produce and this helped to feed thousands whovisited Shirdi during those days. Evidently this simple four Rupees labour charge given to a devotee had transformed to help thousands, then thousands of Rupees distributed every day by Baba, what will beits magnificent achievements on this holy earth, we are just unable to imagine its impact.
O! Lord of Lords, Sainath Maharaj, your each word is life transforming mantra to us, your each deed is direct message for our spiritual development.
