Nana and Bagawat Gita.
Nana Chandorkar has studied "Bagawat Gita'. He thought that Saibaba is not conversant with Sanskrit language. One day he was massaging the feet of Baba uttering within himself some sloka. Baba asked him, 'what you are uttering? Nana told him, it is a sloka of Gita. Baba asked him to repeat it aloud. Nana chanted the whole sloka which goes like this: "Tad Viddhi Pranipatena Pariprasnena sevaya, Upadeshyanti te gnanam, Gnaninas Tatwadarsanaha". Baba told him, "Tell me the meaning of this sloka. Nana told Baba: "We have to surrender at the feet of jnanis and by doing service, we have to enquire from those jnanis about real wisdom, who will reveal us the essence of wisdom".Baba told him, "Nana! I dont want the jist, tell me the meaning of each word with reference to grammar and context! Nana started explaining the meaning of each word: Baba asked him, "What is the meaning of 'prasna'? Nana said it is 'questioning". Then, what is the meaning of "Pariprasna"?. Nana said, it conveys the same meaning Baba!. If both conveys same meaning, was "Vyasa off the mind to add the adjective "pari". Nana could not give any reply and thus he understood that Baba is well versed in Sanskrit as well as Gita. Then, Baba started to tell him the real meaning of the above stanza. You have to know that your body, mind and intelligence is not yours and it is meant for the service of Guru. Do not think that you have a choice to serve. Surrender to the Guru with all your body, mind and wealth. Then only, the Guru will educate you and illuminate you what is Jnana. Also why Shri Krishna ask Arjuna to seek the Jnanis? Is Krishna himself a Jnani? But Krishna wanted Arjuna to know the glory of Jnanis. All Jnanis are in fact Shri Krishna himself. Thus Nana was convinced about Baba's supreme knowledge. Sairam.
