Kakaji’s Experience

• Shama and Kakaji, both started for Shirdi. On reaching the place, Kakaji went to the Masjid, and fell at Baba’s Feet.
• His eyes were soon bedewed with tears, and his mind attained calmness.
• According to the vision of the Goddess, no sooner did he see Baba, that his mind lost all its restlessness and it became calm and composed.
• Kakaji began to think, in his mind,
  • “What a wonderful power is this!
  • Baba spoke nothing, there was no question and answer,
  • no benediction pronounced; the mere darshana itself was so conducive to happiness;
  • the restlessness of my mind disappeared by His mere darshan,
    • consciousness of joy came upon me – this is what is called ‘the greatness of darshan’.”
    • His vision was fixed on Sai’s feet and he could utter no word.
    • Hearing Baba’s Leelas, his joy knew no bounds.
    • He surrendered himself completely to Baba, forgot his anxiety and cares and got undiluted happiness.
    • He lived happily there for twelve days and after taking Baba’s leave, Udi and blessings returned home.
