How Mirikar was saved by Baba from snake?

Saibaba used to warn the devotees whenever such occasions occur. When Bala Saheb Mirikar once came to Shirdi before going to a place called 'Sitali' on official tour, Baba told him, "Do you know the Lamba bav! He is very cruel. But who can harm those who climbed the mosque. Mirikar could not understand the words of Baba. Baba told him, "Take Shama with you". But Mirikar thought that it will be inconvenient for Shama. However when Shama told Baba about Mirikar's opinion, Baba told him that we have to tell good things. If they don't listen what we can do? What is destained is bound to happen. Then Mirikar thought about Baba's words and he agreed to Shama to accompay him. They reached Sitali around 9 PM. Since the Office people has not reached the place, they were sitting and chitchating and Mirikar was reading a newspaper. Suddenly it was seen that a snake ascended on the upper cloth of Mirikar near the waist. The peon shouted, "Snake, Snake". Mirikar removed the upper towel and moved away. The timely warning of the peon enabled the snake to be killed. None was harmed. Mirikar thought about Baba's forethought and warning and from that time, he remained attached to Saibaba's worship. Saisaran, Sairam.
