God who protects us from troubles by knowing them before
Another important aspect of Shirdi Sainatha?s leelas is to know the troubles, problems of devotees in advance and protecting them.
Kaka Mahajan was a devotee of Baba. His long cherished dream was to stay in Shirdi for six days and see the celebrations of Gokulasthami to the content of his eyes. Finally he made out some time and came from Mumbai to Shirdi. He had the Darshan of Baba.
Mahajan was shocked with the unexpected question of Baba “When do you return to home?”. He thought in the mind “When I came with so much of desire why Baba makes this wit” and spoke outside “When ever you ask me to return”.
“Done! You start tomorrow itself” Baba ordered. The words of Baba are like statute! Mahajan immediately returned to Mumbai the next day.
When Mahajan went to Mumbai and reported in his office it was learnt that the owner was eagerly waiting for him. The matter was, as soon as Mahajan went to Shirdi the master fell ill. There was the urgent need of
Mahajan?s coming back to office. Even the owner had written a letter to
Mahajan conveying the information to him. But before the letter reach Shirdi,
Mahajan was able to returned to Mumbai because of Baba?s omniscient power. What is the use of the letter then? It came back to Mumbai in the return path.
Mahajan then realized every thing. He understood the reason behind
Baba?s command of getting back to Mumbai at once! He thanked Baba with all devotion in his heart.
Sri Sainathaya Namah.
