Baba’s saving life
Para Number in the Book & About His Saving Life
SAVING LIFE (a) S.B. Nachne’s
579. Baba, in the presence of S.B.N. and many others in 1913 said: “We should not trust mad men.”
In 1914 Nachne was doing puja at home and a mad man rushed inside, seized his throat, and said, “I will drink your blood, and opened his mouth wide to bite throat. S.B.N. thrust a spoon into the man’s open mouth and then lost his consciousness. Others rushed in and saved his life.
When he went later to Baba, Baba said to Anna Chinchnikar (pointing to S.B.N.): “Anna, if I had delayed an instant, then this man would have indeed perished. The mad man had seized with his hands, his very throat. But I extricated him. What is to be done? If I do not save my own children. Who else will?”
(b) Nimonkar’s Baby
580. S.S.D.Nimonkar, C.I.D. inspector was on his way from Poona to Nimon, where his brother’s wife was recently delivered of a child. On the way he called on Baba at Shirdi. Baba in giving him leave with the usual udhi said: “Save the child’s life”.
Then S.S.D.Nimonkar went to Nimon where the new born child had become cold and chill and the parents had lost all hope of its life. He looked for Baba’s udhi and not finding it took the baby in his lap and prayed to Baba for his help, to give the baby its life. In 15 minutes’ time, the child improved.
