Satsang Chapter 48 :Sri_Sai_Sat_Charitra_Concise(Version)

Om Shree Ganeshaya Namah
Om Sai Ram Chapter 48:::
Baba eradicating the distress of Sabtnekar
* Shevade and Sabtnekar were preparing for Law degree examination. Of all the
people Shevade's preparation was very poor but he was confident that Shirdi
Baba had assured him sucess. All laughed and Sabtnekar too. * In 1913 when
Sabtnekar was a practicing lawyer, his son died of a mysterious throad aliment.
The grieving father on his pilgrimage to holy shrines came to
Shirdi. When he came to masjid for darshan, Baba drove him away shouting 'Get
out' , Nobody's plea helped to change his command , Sabtnekar returned with
heavy heart. A year later his wife dreampt that as she was going to fetch water from the
village well, a fakir addressed her thus : 'Girl, why exhausted for nothing? I
will fill your pitcher with water'. The couple figured out that it was none
other than Baba and came to Shirdi. Though Baba welcomed Sabtnekar initially
with the same phrase 'Get out', He later allowed him to hold his divine
feet.He told the assembled people: 'What for this man comes here and weeps? He
accuses Me of having killed his child.Am I a slayer of children? Well! Now
itself I will do this. I will place the very same child in the womb of his
wife.' Then placing his hands on Sabtnekar 's head, Baba said:" These feet are
Ancient and Divine.Now you will have no worry. Trust in Me." As blessed by
Baba, in a year the lady delivered a male child named Muralidar and as an
eight month old baby was placed at the feet of Baba.
