Om Shree Ganeshaya Namah!
Om Sai Ram!
Chapter 2:::
TITLE TO DHABOLKAR
The life history of saints is not a topic for logical arguments or for debate. The saints resolve for the emergence of their biography and the writer is merely an instrument. The stories of Sai baba give peace of mind and happiness to those carrying the heavy burden of pain and sadness of this world. Giving udhi [sacred ash] and placing His wish fulfilling hand on Hemad Panth's head Sai baba said : " I should write my own life history and fulfill the cherished desire of my devotees." Dhabolkar , while narrating how in 1910 he came first to shirdi on the advise of Nana Chandodkar and was attracted by Baba, also describes how Baba came to know by His omniscience the assertion made by him to Shir Bhate that Guru was not needed and nicknamed him 'Hemad Panth'.
Next day when Hemad Panth was in the masjid Baba told Kaka Dikshit : ' To reach high above there is a route also from here.If one takes the assistance of a guide he will steer clear of tiger , fox , ditches etc. and take straight to the goal."
This was the answer to the debate that Hemad Panth had the previous day whether one needed a Guru or not.
