Remember God before eating!

Sometimes, Saibaba used to joke with his devotees. It so happened that one devotee was sitting near Baba. Another devotee noticed some grains in the fold of the shirt. This has become a topic of fun on that day. The devotee who had no inkling as to how those grains have found place in his shirt fold. Finding him searching for the reason, Saibaba said, "What is there to know? I know the habit of the person. He used to eat grains alone. Today being Shandy day in Shirdi, he went to Shandy and hence he was eating the grains. The devotee got sad and said, "Baba! i have not gone to the Shandy to day. In fact, i have never visited the Shandy. I do not partake any thing without offering to anybody. Why you are charging me saying, 'this fellow used to eat without offering anything to anybody?. Baba then said, "yes, i know you used to share the eatables with others". But if there is nobody nearby, "Do you remember Me before eating". Thus the devotee was given a beautiful lesson that one should always remember God before eating. What a nice lesson? Sairam, Saisaran.
