How Mirikar was forewarned by Baba?

Saibaba's ways are very peculiar and none can gauge his words or warnings. Once Shri Mirikar came to the Masjid to take Dharsan of Baba before leaving for some official tour to Chitali. Baba gave him Dharsan and gave him permission. While doing so, he asked Mirikar, "Do you know lamba bhava? He is very cruel. But what harm it will do to the children of Dwarakamai and Baba made some signs with his hand and palm that resembles a snake. Baba asked Mirikar to take Shama alongwith him. But when Shama asked Mirikar whether he would accompany him, Mirikar said that it would be inconvenient to him. Shama went to Baba and told him, Mirikar's views. Baba said, O.K., we have to tell people good things, If they don't listen, what we can do. Things will happen as destained. After contemplating a while, Mirikar changed his mind and consented to take Shama with him to Chitali. Shama again went to Baba and obtained his permission to leave for Chitali. Then both of them proceeded to Chitali in a tonga. When they reached there, the officials have not yet turned up. Hence they were sitting in the Maruti temple, reading newspaper. Mirikar's upper cloth was near his waist and one snake was silently lying on one portion of the cloth. Some peon noticed the snake and started shouting as Snake! Then Mirikar moved away without causing disturbance. The snake was immediately killed by the peon and others. Thus Baba saved Mirikar from an impending danger which he foresaw and warned him ahead. This is the way of Saibaba. Sairam, Saisaran.
