Sai Baba's directives to those leaving Shirdi
If any one leaves Shirdi without the permission of Baba they used to face hurdles.
* Once Tatya was eager to leave for Kopargaon in a horse drawn cart. Baba advised him to leave after some time. Neglecting His advise Tatya left immediately and he got injured when his cart hurtled.
* Once a European gentleman came for Baba's darshan. For reasons better known to Him, Baba did not allow him inside the masjid. When the displeased European wanted to leave Shirdi, Baba advised him to stay for a day. He disregarded the advise and went ahead. But his cart overturned on the way and he had to be admitted in the Kopergoan hospital.
* Smt Tharkad and her son came for summer holidays to Shirdi. The boy's father had promised to conduct the worship of Sai at home regularly. On the fourth day of their stay at Shirdi, Baba told the lady that He went that day noon to her house in Bandra and came back hungry. The boy suspected some slip in Sai's worship back home and wrote to his father to be careful in the puja. Next day a letter from his father came stating that he had failed to offer nivedya to Baba the previous noon. The letters had crossed.!
* Once Smt. Tharkad gave two brinjals to Smt. Purandare, who was going to Shirdi and told her to prepare pareet and kacharya [two kinds of preparation of brinjal] and offer them to Baba.Smt. Purandare on coming to Shirdi prepared pareet and served to Baba. Baba immediately asked for kacharya indicating that He was omniscient.
* In 1915 a boy named Mangar came to Shirdi for performing his father's annual ceremony.Smt. Tharkad gave him a sweet already offered to Baba, as nothing else was available and told him to present it to Baba. When he came for darshan he forgot about it. Baba asked him 'Did not that lady gave you sweet to be given to me?'
* Once when Smt. Tharkad was preparing rotis during noon, a dog came there and she threw a piece of roti, which was eagerly swallowed by it.When she came to the masjid Baba said : 'Mother! You fed me so sumptuously to day that my withered life forces were rejuvenated. I never speak untruth from this Masjid. The dog that you fed is united in me. Like wise all living beings . Hence, serve every being without discrimination.'
