There was no doubt in the theory that Sri Sai was an image of all Gods. Baba appeared to the devotees in different forms of divinity according to their wish and thus blessed them. At the same time he dispelled the misconceptions developed by ignorance.

A mamaltadar and a doctor were good friends. They wanted to go to Shirdi and spend a few days there. But the doctor put a condition that he would come to Shirdi and not respect a Muslim since he was a devotee of Sri Rama. The mamaltadar convinced the doctor that no one there would force him to bow before Baba and brought him to Shirdi.

Both went to Masjid. Very surprisingly the doctor who asserted that he wouldn?t bow to Baba was the first before every other person, to prostrate before Baba and respect. Mamaltadar was surprised and asked for an explanation. Then, the doctor narrated his experience that his favorite God Sri Rama was seen at the place were Baba sat and that after he completed his bow there sat Baba and no other one.

The doctor had come to a strong belief that “Baba was not a Muslim but a great yogi”. On the next day the doctor kept back at his place of stay saying “I will not go to Masjid till Baba showers his grace”. Thus three days were passed. On the fourth day a friend of doctor came from Khandesh to Shirdi and met him. So it was unavoidable for the doctor to take his friend to Baba. The doctor again bowed before Baba involuntarily.

Baba questioned the doctor “What? Why did you come so? Did any one ask you to come here or what?”. Doctor was speechless by realizing the omniscient power of Baba. That night he received the blessings of Baba in sleep. The doctor experienced spiritual ecstasy of Baba?s blessings for about fifteen days. He felt very happy to receive Baba?s grace as he wished for it.

Finally his faith on Baba became very strong and taken deep roots.

Sri Sainathaya Namah.
