Om Sai Ram
Chapter 25 :::
Business ventures of Damu Annna
He who gets complete devotion oti Sai, all his dangers and miseries
are wiped out and his welfare is looked after by Baba.
*Once Damu Anna of Ahmednagar, with the intention of making
huge profit by trading in cotton as per his friend's advice, wrote to
Shama to seek the opinion of Baba. Even before the letter was
opened Baba remarked: 'Seth has gone mad. He wants to
conquer the skies. He is not content with what God has provided
him.' When this was informed, Damu came in person and while
massaging Baba's feet silently thought that if Baba agrees in this
proposition he could give a share of profit to Him. Immediately
Baba exclaimed: 'Hey! I never get entangled in these things'.
Damu dropped that business proposal. Again he wanted to trade
in grains, but Baba predicted that he would buy at the rate of 5
seers a rupee and sell at 7 seers a rupee, Damu dropped that
proposal also. In short it was proved that cotton and grains markets
crashed and Damu was saved by Baba as he trusted Him.
*One day Baba gave four mangoes to Damu and told him to give
it to his second wife, assuring him four children. The prediction
came true. Baba used to say: "Believe Me even after my passing
away. The bones in my tomb will assure you faith and courage. To
those who surrender to Me, my tomb will speak and move with
them. Do not worry that I am not amidst you. My bones will
discuss about your welfare. Trust in Me. I shall act tremendously
even from my tomb".
'Let us get insatiable desire in our tongue to utter your name" -
so prays Hemad Panth to Baba.
Baba once said that 'all the flowers in a mango tree do not turn
in to mangoes. Only a few do so. Like wise the people who come
here (to Baba).'
By narrating how Baba after His mahasamadhi got him back the
diamond nose stud the very next day of its loss, Damu narrates
that Baba protects His devotees intensely even after shedding
His mortal coils.
