Shri Sai leela
Then Baba as usual started for Lendi and said - "Take some Geru (i.e. a red miry
substance, to dye clothes in saffron-colour), we shall today don saffron-coloured
cloth. None understood what Baba meant. Then after some time when Baba returned, and
preparations for the noon-Arati were being made. Bapusaheb Jog asked Moolay Shastri,
whether he would accompany him for the Arti. He replied that he would see Baba in
the afternoon. Very soon Baba sat on his seat, was worshipped by the devotees and
Arti commenced. Then Baba said - "Get some Dakshina from the new (Nasik) Brahmin."
Booty himself went to get the Dakshina; and when he gave Baba's message to Moolay
Shastri, he was sorely perplexed. He thought in his mind thus: "I am a pure
Agnihotri Brahmin, why should I pay Dakshina? Baba may be a great Saint. I am not
His dependent." But as a great Saint like Sai Baba was asking for Dakshina through a
millionaire like Booty, he could not refuse. So leaving his routine unfinished, he
forthwith started with Booty to the Masjid. Thinking himself holy and sacred, and
the Masjid otherwise, he remained at a distance, and joining his hands threw flowers
at Baba. Then lo! all of a sudden, he saw no Baba on the seat, but saw his late Guru
Gholap Swami there. He was wonder-struck. Could this be a dream? No, it was not, as
he was wide awake; but though awake, how could his late Guru Gholap be there? He was
speechless for some time. He pinched himself and thought again, but could not
reconcile the fact of his late Guru Gholap being in the Masjid. Ultimately, leaving
all doubt, he went up, fell at his Guru's feet and then getting up stood there with
folded hands. Other people sang Baba's Arati, while Moolay Shastri chanted his
Guru's name. Then casting off all pride of caste and ideas about sacredness, he fell
flat at his Guru's feet and closed his eyes. When he got up and opened his eyes, he
saw Baba asking for Dakshina. Seeing Baba's blissful form, and His inconceivable
power, Moolay Shastri forgot himself. He was extremely pleased, his eyes were full
of tears of joy. He again saluted Baba and gave the Dakshina. He said that his doubt
was removed and that he saw his own Guru. On seeing his wonderful Leela of Baba all
the people, including Moolay Shastri, were much moved, and they realized the meaning
of Baba's words, "Bring Geru, we shall don saffron-coloured garment." Such is the
wonderful Leela of Baba.
