How Baba taught a lesson to Hemadpant?

Once Baba asked Hemadpant to go to Shama and fetch him Rs.15/- as Dakshina and sit with him for a while and chit chat with him. It so happened that Hemadpant was pressing the feet of Baba and one devotee who was blessed by Baba within seven days of reaching Shirdi was present. Hemadpant was staying in Shirdi from 1910. He had a perturbing thought. The new devotee was blessed by Baba within seven days of his arrival whereas his long stay (1910-1917) didn't fetch him the grace of Baba. As Baba is aware of the innermost thoughts of his devotees, he asked Hemadpant to go to Shama and chitchat with him and come back. Thus Hemadpant was in Shama's house. Shama was astonished at the arrival of Hemadpant. He asked him, "How you are here at this hour? It seems you are coming from the Masjid, "What is the matter?. Hemadpant patiently explained him, that Baba has directed him to Shama to fetch Rs.15/- as Dakshina as well as to sit and chitchat with you. Then Shama told him, Please ease yourself and i will be back. He gave him a panvada for eating. When Hemadpant sat on the front side verandah, he found Jnaneswari, a holy book for parayan. In fact, Hemadpant was in the habit of reading this holy book daily. On the particular day, he could not complete the parayan. Hence he opened the book. Mysteriously, the unread portion came to his view and he finished reading it. He thought that Baba sent him to Shama to complete the Parayan. Meanwhile Shama returned and enquired Hemadpant the purpose. The later told him, "Let us talk about the leelas of Baba. Shama told him, i am an illeterate riot whereas you are an educated man. You are here for the past so many years and watching the leelas of Sai. However, one incident comes to my memory. There was one illeterate old woman named "Radhabai". She was the mother of Kasaba Deshmuk. She came to Shirdi alongwith the people of Sangamner. She loved Baba and attached to Him. She inwardly prayed for some holy sacred mantra diretly for recitation from Baba. She went to her staying place and abstained from food and water for three days thinking that she should eat only after getting her wish fulfilled. Shama interwined on her behalf and begged Baba, that she should be blessed with mantra otherwise people will blame Baba that she perished since Baba has not granted her genuine desire. Baba called her to His presence and pleaded, "Oh mother! why do you subject yourself to this ordeal? My guru never blown any mantra on my ear. He was compassionate and incarnation of Love. He looked after me lovingly. He shaved my head and asked two pieces of copper coins. Ofcourse my Guru is not after money. What he wanted is "Faith and Patience". Thus I served him for twelve long years. He never gave me any sacred formula for repeating. His love is like that of a tortoise which looks after the baby tortoises by its look. It never feeds the babies nor give warmth by its presence. Thus the baby tortoises are cared by the mere look of the mother. Thus My Guru showered his grace and love to me through His gracious glance. Hence do not crave for any mantra from me. The story impressed Hemadpant very much and he found that his mind could get peace by hearing the beautiful story of the old lady and thus he was blessed by Baba in a timely manner. Saisaran, Sairam.
