Story of the portrait
Nine years after the above episode, Ali told Hemad Panth
the story of the portrait, ‘Three months before the portrait
came to Hemand Panth’s house, Ali suffered from big
boil in his leg and went to Bombay to his brother-in-law’s
house. His brother-in-law told him that all his troubles
were due to his keeping the portraits of saint's in his
house and advised him to cast them off in the sea, as
was done by him (as idol worship was opposed to Muslim
faith). Ali too ordered so to his manager at Bandra. When
after three months he came to his home at Bandra, he
found that the portraits of all the saints had been tossed
in to the sea but some how the portrait of Sai Baba has
escaped. Fearing that his brother-in-law would throw that
picture also in the sea, he consulted Ismu who advised
that Hemad Panth was the best recipient and thus they
came to his house that day with the portrait of Baba!’
Once Deo told Jog that he could not read ‘Janeswari”
and asked whether he did that. Later he asked another
devotee Balakram what had Baba taught him. When Deo
came that day to masjid Baba took him by his hands,
sat underneath the pole and accused thus: ‘You have
stolen my rags. Is it your routine, you gray haired one?
I will finish you beating with my stick.’ The abuses
continued and Deo thought that he might even receive
blows. After some pause Baba said: ‘I am waiting here
to gift you a shawl with golden zari but you are stealing
my rags.’ Deo understood that when he has Baba for direct
perception he shouldn’t seek around for others’ experiences.
