Baba and a sanyasi Swami.
Kaka Saheb's brother "Bayaji" while on a pilgrimage met a Swami. Both of them noted the address of others in their diary. After 5 years, the Swami visited Bayaji's house and came to know about Saibaba. He went to Shirdi along with some others. From a distance, he saw flags flying. This made him to construe that Baba is after fame. He wanted to retrace his steps. But those who accompanied him forced him to go forward. They said, you are worried about the 'flags'. If you know that there are more paraphernalia, what will you think? The Swami decided to return since he was aware of many saintly persons who keep such external things. He thought that the pomp wont match well with real sanyasis. Then the other devotees told him to stop judging Baba in a similar manner. Baba really never cares for all these pomp. He maintains his simplicity and humbleness and you will be benefited by going to him. Thus he was forced to get into the Masjid to take Dharsan of Baba. Baba shouted at him "why you have come to see me who keeps the flags and other things. Is it an indication of Sanyasi? The Swami was bewildered to understand how Baba knew his innermost thoughts even before he saw me. Hence, he stayed with Baba and remained in Shirdi. Sairam.
