Baba and two gentleman who visited Shirdi.

One day two gentleman visited Shirdi to take Dharsan of Baba. Though they came together, Saibaba accepted Rs15/- from the first gentleman. The other man offered Rs.35/- but Baba didn't accept the same. During their Dharsan, Baba narrated a beautiful story. I was from a hill station. I was in search of a job. I prayed to Lord Dutta, that if i get a job, i will give first month salary to the Lord. I got a job and i have forgotten my vow. In course of time my salary was increased and i got Rs.600/- per month. One day i remembered about my vow and hence i came to Dwarakamai. Baba accepted just Rs.15/- being my first month salary and relieved me from the Debt. In the second story that was narrated by Baba goes as under. One Brahmin cook served me sincerely for 35 years. One day he looted a huge amount by breaking open a wall and took my entire saving. I was wailing day and night for 15 days, thinking about the loss. After 15 days, one fakir who was going that way enquired me why i am wailing like this.Then i told him my story and the loss of the huge amount. He consoled me saying, 'i will tell you the way to retreive the money. Pray to an Avalia, foregoing your pet food. I prayed to the Avalia and left eating rice till i get back my money. After my prayer, my brahmin cook came there and fell on my feet, requesting me to forgive him for his mind has turned him into theft. He gave me back the entire money and i was relieved from the suffering. My vow to the Avalia remained and i went to the sea shore to catch a ship for coming to Bombay and then to Shirdi. As the ship was full, the captain didn't allow me to get into the ship. But an unknown peon inter wined on behalf of me and got me a seat in the ship. Hence i could come to the Masudi mayi. When Baba narrated the stories, none could make out anything. Baba has not left Shirdi and hence they enquired the two people whether they have understood any thing?. To this both the people conceded that the stories narrated by Baba is really theirs. The first gentleman has forgotten to pay back the due after getting a job and hence Baba accepted the dues. The second gentleman has said, he lost the money and Baba has restored the entire money and hence Baba didn't receive my Dakshina though i have offered him. How he will receive when he himself got back my money. The devotees gathered there, got wonder struck by the beautiful episode and started remembering about Sai miracles. Sairam.
