Shirdi Sai Satcharitra Chapter 36- English Audiobook
This chapter covers the following:
The wonderful Stories of the two gentlemen from Goa
And Mrs. Aurangabadkar;
The Two Gentlemen

Two men came from Goa to receive Baba’s darshan and prostrated themselves before him. Though both came together, Baba asked only one of them to give Him 15 rupees as Dakshina, which was paid willingly. The other man voluntarily offered 35 rupees and this sum was rejected by Baba, to everyone’s astonishment. Shama, who was present, asked Baba, “What is this? Both came together, one’s Dakshina you accept, the other, though voluntarily paid, you refuse; Why this distinction?” Baba replied, “Shama, you know nothing. I take nothing from anybody. The Masjidmayi (The presiding Deity of the Masjid) calls for the debt and the donor pays it and becomes free. Have I any home, property or family to look after? I require nothing and am always free. Debt, enmity and murder have to be atoned for; there is no escaping them”. Baba then continued to tell a story in His characteristic way:

“At first he was poor and vowed to his God that he would give away his first month’s salary if he got hired. He got a job which paid 15 rupees per month. Then he steadily got promotions; he later earned Rupees 30, 60, 100, 200 and ultimately 700 per month. But amidst his prosperity, he completely forgot the vow. The force of his karma has driven him here and thus I asked for that amount (15 rupees) from him as Dakshina.”

“Another story: While wandering by the sea-side, I came to a huge mansion and sat on its verandah. The owner was hospitable and fed me sumptuously. He gave me a neat and clean place near a cupboard to sleep and I slept there. While I was sound asleep, the man removed a slab and broke the wall, entered my room and stole all the money in my pocket. When I woke up, I found that 30,000 rupees had been stolen from my pocket. I was very distressed and sat weeping and moaning. The money was in currency notes and I knew the man had stolen it. I lost all interest in food and sat for a fortnight on the verandah, bemoaning my loss. After a fortnight, a passing fakir saw me crying and asked me why I was crying. I told him everything; He said, ‘If you act according to what I tell you, you will recover your money. Go to a fakir, I shall give you his whereabouts, surrender yourself to him; he will get your money back. In the meanwhile, give up your favorite food till you recover your money.’ I followed the fakir’s advice and got my money back. Then I left the mansion and went to the sea-shore. I found a steamer that was ready to leave, but I could not get into it as it was crowded. Then, a good-natured peon interceded for me and I was luckily able to board it. That brought me to another shore, where I boarded a train and came to the Masjidmayi.”

Baba finished telling the story and asked Shama to take the guests and arrange for their meals. Then Shama took them home and served them dinner. At dinner, Shama said that Baba’s story was rather mysterious, as He had never been to the sea, never had any money, never traveled, never lost any money or recovered it, and enquired whether they had understood it and caught its significance. The guests were deeply moved and were shedding tears. In a choking voice, they said that Baba was omniscient, infinite and the One (Para Brahma). They said that the stories He told were their stories; What He spoke had already taken place in their case. How Baba knew all this was truly divine!

Then after the meal, while they were chewing betel-leaves, the guests began to tell their stories. The first one said,

“A hill-station on the ghats is my native place. I went to Goa to earn a living and I took a vow to God Datta, that if I got a job I would offer Him my first month’s salary. By His grace, I got a job that paid 15 rupees and then steadily got promotions as described by Baba. I forgot all about my vow. Baba has just reminded me of it in this way and recovered 15 rupees from me. It is not Dakshina as one may think it to be, but repayment of an old debt and fulfillment of a long-forgotten vow”

Baba never actually begged for any money or allowed His Bhaktas to beg. He regarded money as a danger or bar to spiritual progress and did not allow His Bhaktas to fall into its clutches. Bhagat Mhalsapati is an example of this; He was very poor and could hardly make both ends meet. Yet, Baba never allowed him to make any money, nor gave him anything from the Dakshina collected. Once, a kind and liberal merchant named Hansaraj gave a large amount of money to Mhalsapati, in Baba’s presence, but Baba would not allow him to.......

Bow to Shri Sai - Peace be to all
