Dasganu and Isavasya Upanishad.

Dasganu spread the name of Saibaba by his beautiful discourses. He had a rare efficiency to write Marathi poetry. He tried his hands to translate one of the smallest Upanishad yet very profound one, "Isavasya Upanishad". It contained only 18 stanzas but covered the most profound and philosophical subject of "Imminence of God in the creation". The very first stanza depicts that "All this is God"-"Isawasyam Idam Sarvam". The essence of this Upanishad teaches that everything is permeated by God and one should be content with what God has blessed him with. We should not hanker for the possession of others. Dasganu attempted to bring the content of Isavasya in Marathi 'Ovi" verses. Though he translated the Upanishad, he was not satisfied with the outcome. Hence, he thought of consulting Saibaba to solve the riddle. Baba told him, "Do not worry, the servant maid of Kaka Saheb in Villeparle will show you the way. People who assembled in the Masjid thought that Baba is cutting jokes. But Dasganu knew that Baba's words contain real Truth. Hence, he proceeded to Villeparle, a suburb of present Mumbai and he was taking rest at the house of Kaka. Suddenly he heard a melodious and beautiful song from the lips of a servantmaid. She was singing about the colour and design of a beautiful sari. In fact, the girl was wearing torn cloths on her body but had an exuberant mood. Hence when he was presented with a pair of new cloths, he requested the host to provide the servant girl, a beautiful half sari and as per the wish of Dasganu, the servant maid got a beautiful half sari. She wore it on the next day, danced her way, played with the girls in the locality and won the games. The next day, she kept the sari in her house and wore a torn cloth on her body and was attending to her cores. She was as happy as she wore a new dress and bubbling with joy. Dasganu found that happiness and sorrow depend on the condition of the mind and not on external things. Thus he was shown the rear truth by the servant maid in practical terms. This is one of a rare miracle by Baba. Saisaran, Sairam.
