Baba helped his devotees in travel
Para Number in the Book ‘BCS” , About His Help in Travelling
564. Baba to Nana (with Haridas): “Take food and go to the train.”
[Haridas having no faith in Baba started without meal and …Nana Chandorkar started only after taking his meal and again taking leave of Baba, yet he reached in time, as the train was some hours late,]
564A. Trip to Kopergaon by Ganesh Vishnu Bere (alias Nana Saheb Bere)
Agricultural Inspector was about to start to Kopergaon in a tonga, with Sri Das Ganu, to catch a train and went to Baba for leave taking.
Baba: “ Hurry up. Do not delay or stop your tonga till you reach the station”.
Accordingly the two started in their tonga from Shirdi. As there was plenty of time for the arrival of the train, other tongawallas requested Bere’s tonga to wait. But heedless of the requests, Bere came to Kopergaon safe, though long before the train arrived.
The other tongas from Shirdi arrived in time, for the train later on. But enroute, they had been attacked by high way men (robbers) . Why Baba hurried up Bere was then clear.
565. Baba to Purandhare: “Stay two days at Nasik and then leave.” R.B.P. was forced by illness of his children to stay at Nasik for two days.
566. Baba to B.V. Vaidya (going to Nasik): “There is plague in Nasik. Go back home, with your children.”
- Baba to Tatya, who had got a summon from court: “Do not go to court today.”(The court was suddenly closed that day).
- Baba to Tatya: ” Do not go to the market or at least take Shama with you. (Tatya went without Shama, and one of his horses became uncontrollable with pain in the waist).
- Baba “Englishman, do not go to Kopergoan”. The Englishman went and on the way was thrown off the carriage and had to be an in-patient at the Hospital.
- Baba (to Kaka Mahajani on his arrival): “When do you go back?”
Kaka: When you order. Baba: “Go to-morrow morning.”
Kaka Mahajani started next morning and found that he was badly needed at his office.
- Baba (to Mr S. Tarkhad soon after his arrival at Shirdi-with the hope of getting Baba’s blessings for employment): “Go back, to your place (Poona) via Ahmadnagar. Start now with Tatya Patel”.
Mr. S.T. thought it was hard lines to go back at once and that without employment. But, when he reached Poona, the directors of a mill were eagerly waiting for him, on account of a strike among millhands and they made him their manager.
- Baba to N.G.C.: “Do not go to-day, but go tomorrow to meet the collector at Kopergaon.”
The collector had cancelled that day’s engagement by wire and came to Kopergaon only on the following day, facts unknown to N.G.C. but known to Baba by his Antarjnana.
- Baba to Pandharpur Vakil: “Do not start to -day. Start to-morrow for your Pandharpur case.”
The vakil later found that the Govt. Vakil on the opposite side had obtained a day’s adjournment without notice to him.
- H.S.D. to Baba: On 6-2-1916 the Will case is to come up for hearing. So the Bombay party wants me to start now to give evidence. B.: “No.no, let us wait and see.”
H.S.D. later. The case, it seems, has been posted to the 9th.
Baba: “Let us wait and see.”
(Again ) H.S.D.: The case has been posted to the 13th.
Baba: “Let us wait and see.”
Baba permitted H.S.D. to start only on the 14th and the case was actually taken up on the 15th at Bombay. The detention seemed to be risky, as the party summoning Dixit was considering whether to issue a warrant. But Baba sending him on the 14th averted its issue.
574A. Baba asked Chandrabai Borker to go to pandhrpur. That was the place where Mr.Borkar had his official work. She went there and found he had gone away on transfer, and sat dejected at a dharmasala. A fakir appeared, told her of the transfer to Dhond, gave her tickets to Dhond and a male escort to take her there.
