Satsang LATE TATYASAHEB NOOLKAR -- A GREAT AND BLESSED SAI-DEVOTEE

Last sickness and service of the school-friend Ten to fifteen days
after this, Tatyasaheb because of his diabetes, got a carbuncle
(inflamed boil) on his bullock and became sick. Slowly the number
of carbuncles increased and Tatyasaheb's sickness started getting
worse.
Babasaheb. his school-friend. was always ready to serve others.
Moreover this was a friend's cause and ordered by Sai Baba Himself.
So Babasaheb placed himself day and night next to Tatyasaheb
and decided not to fail even slightly in serving Tatyasaheb and not to
think of leaving Shirdi until Tatyasaheb was completely cured.
Tatyasaheb's two sons were present and were also serving to their
best ability. The elder son Wamanrao was a doctor having passed
his L.M. & S. degree recently. In this small village there was no
possibility of getting any allopathic medicines nor any facilities for
carrying out an operation.
Dr. Wamanrao therefore wired at Bombay and getting medicines
and equipment, operated on the carbuncles and bandaged him.
Babasaheb also like an expert hospital nurse, was very alert all
the lime. Even if Tatyasaheb at night called out in a soft voice,
Babasaheb would get up immediately and asking what is
required, would attend to accordingly.

A wonderful divine vision
Tatyasaheb's sickness was getting worse and worse, but his
mental stale was surprisingly calm. He had no earthly desires
left and probably he did nor wish to be cured also. He never
appeared to be praying Sai Baba for cure.
Slowly on his body there appeared altogether eleven carbuncles,
which while being treated and dressed used to cause acute and
unbearable pain to him. Yet he used to bear all that calmly and
without any complaints. Except Sai Baba's subject, he did not
like any other talk. He had to lie down at one place in the Wada
and even for turning his sides, he required other's help.
But there was not even slightest irritation in him usually seen in a
sick person. He used to all the time, inquire as to what happened
at the Masjid, what did Baba say etc. and go on repeating
Sai-nama constantly. His mother, brothers etc. were at Jalgaon
and if asked whether they be called by sending a telegram, he
used to say distinctly and disinterestedly, "Do not trouble them.
I do not wish to see anybody."
