  • How to use Money in Baba’s method

    How to use Money in Baba’s method

    For Basic Luxury Level-

    If anybody placed before Him a pice or two (money), Baba purchased oil or tobacco. He was fond of tobacco, for He always smoked a bidi or Chilim (an earthen pipe). Oil was used to fuelling his Dhuni ie. Sacred fire. For Food, the Basic, HE begged, as Mendicant

    After getting for Basic Luxury?

     Then, some persons thought that they could not see the Saints empty-handed, and they, therefore, placed some copper coins before Baba.

    If a pice was placed before Him. He used to pocket it (for the above); if it was a two pice coin, it was ‘returned’ immediately.

    At further Level of Income!

    Then after Baba’s fame had spread far and wide, people began to flock in numbers; and Baba began to ask Dakshina/Donation from them.

    For what: a) To teach the devotees the lesson of charity and to remove their attachment to money and thus to purify their minds -(Baba said, that He had to give back hundred times more of what He received. There are many instances, in which this has happened.)

    b) Giving Asking Dakshina also meant like- `Deriving lessons from the book and lodging them in the heart where Baba resides’.

    At Final Level –

    Baba collected a lot of money by Dakshina, He would distribute the whole amount the same day, as Charity and the next morning He would become a poor Fakir as usual.

    When Baba took His Mahasamadhi, after receiving thousands and thousands of Rupees as Dakshina for about ten years, He had only a few Rupees in His possession.

    “Out of the amount collected as Dakshina, Baba spent very little for His own sake, and all the rest, He distributed as charity in varying proportions to various persons”.

  • Baba’s indifference to wealth

    Baba’s indifference to wealth

    Baba’s sayings about His indifference to Wealth

    Para Number in the Book ‘BCS”, About indifference to Wealth

    250. Baba, to Balakrishna G. “Upasani sastri: Will you give me dakshina?”

    BGU: I have no money.

    Baba: What is that in your pocket? Give it.

    BGU: This is a silver watch. Take it, Baba.?

    Baba: Do you think you are losing by giving this.

    BGU: Nothing given to you is a loss.

    Then Baba received the watch and at once gave it away to some one present. BGU went on to Poona and there a rich friend, learning that he had given away his watch to Baba, compelled him to accept a gold watch (without knowing the above words of Baba). So, BGU was a gainer and not a loser by giving away his silver watch.

    1. H S Dixit once came with a trunkful of silver rupees, which he had earned by working for a Native State, and placed it before Baba.

    HDS: All this is yours.

    Baba: Is that so?

    Then Baba opened the lid and with both hands drew out all the contents and poured the same to all and sundry. In a few minutes, the trunk was empty.

    Mr. Garde, Sub-Judge of Nagpur and a friend of HSD., watched the latter’s face. HSD had not the slightest regret or sorrow or concern at the disappearance of his hard earned fees. it was evidently to test and strengthen his vairagya that Baba scattered his money thus.

    1. When a silver palanquin was brought and presented to Baba Boba: “Take it away, I do not want it.”

    But the devotees insisted that it was needed for processions, when Baba’s portrait would be placed in it. The Palki was left in the open and on the first night some silver appurtenances were stolen,

    Devotee: “Baba, the silver trappings are stolen”

    Baba: Why was not the whole palki stolen?

    1. Damodar Rasane wanted to start a business and wrote for Baba’s approval. Baba disapproved of it. Then Damia came and proposed to give Baba a share in the profits.

    Baba: Hallo, Damia, I am not to be entangled in anything i.e., in pecuniary concerns.

    (Baba declined to form a mutt or Ashram or to be the head or proprietor of any institution, estate or property, or even recognise any one as his disciple, chela-to succeed to his position. He left no estate to succeed to.)

    1. Baba- “Once I was at Puntamba. There was a struggle there between two parties. I wondered why they fought. I found near them a potful of coins. That was the bone of contention between them. Then I quietly moved up and carried it away. They found their wealth was gone and began to mourn and lament- I was saying to myself: “Who am I? What is this wealth? Whose is it? What confusion and struggle for this? The pot is mine and I am the pot’s.”
    1. Two (Deccani) Brahmins came to Baba,

    Baba- “Syama, ask Rs.15/- of that man (pointing to one).

    That man gave the Rs.15/- readily and Baba received it and kept it. The other unasked paid Rs.35/- Baba counted it and returned it to the donor.

    Syama: Deva, what is this discrimination? I have never seen anything like this. You ask for a smaller sum and receive it. The larger sum is voluntarily paid and you return it.

    (What follows is already mentioned in 103)

    B: Syama, you a child and you understand nothing. I do nothing. I receive nothing. Datta called for his own. He has called for Rs.15, his due and given it to Masudi Ayi? So the money has been received (by me). But this Rs.35 is not ours and so it has been returned.

    At first he was poor and he made a vow that he would pay his first month’s salary which proved to be Rs.15/-. But he forgot that vow, as time went on. His salary went on increasing from Rs.15/- to Rs.30/-, Rs.60/-, Rs.100/-, Rs.200/, Rs.400/- and ultimately Rs.700. Then his Karma drove him here and so I asked him to give me my Rs.15/- under the name Dakshina.

    Then there is another incident. I wandered by the sea-shore and came to a huge and beautiful house owned by a rich Brahmin of good family. I was welcomed there heartily. The Brahmin fed me sumptuously and showed me a clean and nice place near a cup-board to sleep. When I was sound asleep there, the man pulled off a stone slab from the wall and scissored off an entire packet of currency notes from my pocket. They were 30 notes of Rs. 1,000 each.

    When I woke, I found they were gone. I was quite upset and was weeping and moaning. I thought the Brahmin had stolen it. I lost all interest in food and drink and stayed there 15 days on his verandah. On the 15th day a passing fakir saw me crying and made kind enquiries. I told him everything. He said, “you will get relief, if you act as I bid you. I will tell you of a fakir and give his address. Seek refuge at his feet. He will restore the property to you. You had better also take a vow. Give up eating what you like best, until you recover your money. That vow will help you to attain success”.

    Following the fakir’s advice, I abstained from eating my best beloved dish and sought refuge at the fakir’s feet. Then I got my money. I left that house there after. Again I went by the sea-shore. There was a steamer by which I should go, but I could not get in. Then a peon interceded and got me into it, luckily. That brought me to the train. Thus I came to Masudi Mayi. While Baba was narrating this, the visitors were greatly moved but Syama could make nothing out of Baba’s words.

    B: Syama. take these visitors, and give them dinner.

    At dinner, Syama asked them if they understood what Baba said. Baba is always staying here and has not seen sea or sea-shore and had never Rs.30,000/- of wealth for anyone to steal.

    One of the guests begin to narrate with great feeling the following:

    My birth place is a ghat hillside facing the sea. I went out to Goa to earn my living. I vowed to Datta -that if I earn anything, my first month’s salary should be His. By Datta’s grace I first got employed on Rs.15/-and it increased steadily just as Baba described it. I forgot all about paying Rs.15/- to Datta till Baba spoke of it here. Baba’s kindly taking Rs.15/- has enabled me to fulfil the vow at last.

    The second guest began his tale. For 35 years my Brahmin cook was faithfully serving me. By a stroke of misfortune, his mind turned and robbed me of my accumulated wealth. There is a slab in my house in the wall of the cupboard. The cook removed the slab, came through the hole and carried away my entire store. There was a roll of notes amounting to Rs.30,000/- which were my savings after a life of long effort and toil. I do not know how Baba knew the exact amount. Day and night I bewailed my loss. “How to recover the property”, that question staggered my mind. I gave a complaint to the Police, but it was no good. I spent 15 days in great anxiety. As I sat on the verandah with a long face, a passing fakir noted my affliction and inquired for the cause and I told him the whole story.

    Said he: “An Avalia there is named ‘Sai’ at Shirdi in Kopergaon Taluq. Make a vow to him (i.e. to go to him in case you get back your wealth). Give up what you like best to eat, with the vow that you will not eat it, till you see Sai”. I made such vows and I gave up eating boiled rice in any shape, saying, “I will take it only when I get back my money and I come to you”.

    Fifteen days more passed after that. I do not know what occurred to the Brahmin. But he then came of his own accord, returned my money, and apologised saying, “My brain was spoiled and I acted thus. Now I fall at your feet. Pray excuse me”.

    I gave him Rs.2000/- out of the Rs.30,000/. One night I was at Colaba and saw Sai in my dream. That was evidently to remind me of my promised visit to Shirdi.

    I went to Goa and from there wanted to start for Shirdi by taking steamer to Bombay; but when I came to the harbour, the ship was full and there was no space. So said the Captain. But, on board, there was a peon, who though a total stranger to me, said to the Captain that I was his man, i.e., belonged to his group. Then I was allowed to get into the steamer, which brought me to Bombay, whence by train, I came here. Surely Sai is all pervasive. What are we? Where is our home? How great is our good fortune that Baba has drawn us to himself? How wonderful was the recovery of the stolen money (cf 230)

    Marwadis stack
    1. Baba: “This Marwadi Bagchand whose stack caught fire begged for help to avoid loss. Gain and loss, birth and death are in the hands of God. But how blindly do these people forget God! If profit comes, they rejoice. If loss comes, they weep. Why? Why say? “This is mine”? what does it mean?

    The stack is not the Marwadi. It is only hay and not his body. It grew from seeds on the earth, and was fed by rains from the clouds and by sun light. Earth, Clouds and the Sun are its owners. This fellow’s claim is ungrounded. Fire is in all these three and it consumed the stack. We are not the owners. God gives with one hand and takes away with the other. Sait, go home. You will make up for this loss in some other transaction.”

    1. Baba- ” This cow of (H.S.Dikshit) Kaka, belonged to the Jalna man, and earlier to the Aurangabad man and before that to Mahlsapathy. God knows whose it is.”

    None who has firm faith in God is left in want for anything.

    1. Baba- ” What God gives is never exhausted. What man gives never lasts. “
    2. Baba (to NGC): “Nana, the only things that can be called mine are a rag, a langoti (rag), a kupni (toga), a potsherd and a (tin) tumbler. See, how inexcusably people trouble me, pester me and coerce me. What should be said of this?“
    ILL – fated Property

    260. S.R.V Jayakar lent Rs.4,000/- to a Moslem purdah lady without issue.

    The money was not returned. S.R.V. Jayakar to

    “Shall I go for the money, Baba?

    Baba:   “Let  us  have  nothing  to  do  with  such  ill-fated wealth.”

    She lost all her wealth in 2 or 3 years and Jayakar recovered nothing.

    Poverty

    261. Baba: Poverty is highest riches and is a thousand times superior to a lord’s position. God is the brother of the poor. Fakir is the real emperor. Fakirship does not perish, but empire is soon lost.

    Providence

    262. Baba- ” People must put full faith in the Lord’s Providence. They should not worry about food and clothing. Do not waste your life on these.

    In the abode of my devotees, there will be no dearth of food and clothing. “

    Gospel, St. Mathews, ch.VI25. “Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?”

  • WEALTH

    WEALTH

    Baba’s sayings about Greed of Wealth and Asking Donation

    Para Number in the Book & About Greed Managing

    1. R.B.P. A devotee: “Why are you asking for so much money?”

    Baba- ” I am not asking of every one. I ask only from the man whom the fakir (God) points out. But in exchange, I have to give that man ten times the amount, which I have taken. I do not take the money for my own use. I have no family.”

    Every morning Baba would be a poor fakir owning zero and during the day dakshinas would accumulate; and by evening or night the whole accumulation will be disbursed. When Baba passed away, after receiving a Governor’s income from dakshina for about ten years, he had only Rs.16 in his possession.

    1. A man living with a mistress and suffering from venereal complaints came to Baba and said: “Baba, take this Rs.500″. Baba (angrily):” I want none of your money. You are keeping someone in your house; is it not? Give it to her.”

    The man was mortified at this exposure and went away.

    1. Some persons were on their way to Shirdi mosque of Baba.

    Baba (angrily): “Rascals, (pouring plenty of abuse) committing such and such vile crimes and sins (naming their sins, vices etc.,)! What help can they get! (as he finished this tirade, the parties entered with rich gifts.)

    Baba: “This is just what I have been saying” (and he refused to accept gifts or give help)

    Dakshina, a means of denuding a devotee of even thing

    [Which means I take away everything, when I wish to show my favour.] 

    236. S.R.V. Jayakar who has painted Baba’s portrait kept in Dwarka Mayee at Shirdi was staying before Baba with Rs.2-8-0 in his pocket.   One Varde of Bombay came to Baba. 

    V. I have no money to perform Satyanarayana Pooja.

    B.: How much do you want? 

    V Rs.2-8-0.

    B.: This man (pointing to Jayakar) has got it    Borrow from him.

    So varde applied and Jayakar had to part with the entire Rs.2-8-0 he had in his pocket.

    237. P.R. Avaste, a Judicial Officer of Indore and a devotee of Baba came during summer vacation with his wife and son to Shirdi. He was on his way to perform his son’s marriage and kept with his son Rs.400/- and Rs.300/- with his wife. He was to get a good bridegroom (karini) for his son’s marriage. When he came to Baba,

    Baba to P.R. Avaste: Will you give me Dakshina?

    P.R. Avaste: How much?

    Baba: Rs. 30/-

    Baba to P.R. Avaste’s son: Will you give me Rs.40/-

    Thus again and again Baba took away the whole fund with Mrs. PRA and her son – except Rs.30/-

    Baba to P.R. Avaste: Will you give me Rs.30/-

    P.R. Avaste: Shall I give it, Baba?

    Baba: Yes.

    Then with great pain at heart, Mr. Avaste took the last remaining Rs.30/- from his wife and paid to Baba.

    Baba asked for nothing more.

    As P.R. Avaste was dolefully returning from Baba, Bapu Saheb Jog exultingly patted him on the back.

    Jog: I say I congratulate you. Baba has taken frequent Dakshina from you. You are lucky. Baba never takes except to give back tenfold.

    P.R. Avaste: I do not know about that. I know that I have not got a pie remaining for going to the place of marriage.

    Jog: How much do you want?

    P.R. Avaste: Rs.100/-

    Jog: Here it is. Baba has got a present of Rs. 6000/- from a Mumbai merchant who vowed he would pay 25% of his profits, if the news of loss of his goods proved false. Of that 6000, Baba has already spent 3000 in three days. If I tell him I gave you Rs.100/-, he will neither object nor call for the Rs.100/-, but as he has taken Rs.600 odd from you, I assure you that you will have a promotion by Rs.50/- per mensem now.

    P.R. Avaste: I have no godfather to get me promotion.

    But as stated by Jog, the promotion of Rs.50/- was given to Mr. P.R. Avaste, as he learnt after the vacation ended.

    Dakshina asked for taking away first fruits on indicating coming of the amount asked

    238. Baba to S.B.Dhumal: “Bhav give me Rs.50/-.”

    S.B.D. I have not got the money.

    B.: Then ask Saheb (H.V.S.)

    S.B.D. went and asked H.V.S. for Rs.50/- H.V.S. gladly gave it. This was an indication to H.V.S. that his claim, then pending before Govt for an extra sum of Rs.50/- as part of his pension was to be allowed.

    Later the order allowing it came. And the date of the order was the date of Baba’s demand of Rs.50/-.

    239. Somanaih S.D.Nimonkar, a Police Sub-Inspector, was before Baba in 1912. 

    Baba- “Give me Rs.10/-.

    S. paid the amount of Rs. 10/-.

    Six months later S got an order raising his pay byRs.10/- from the date of his above payment.

    Dakshina as Prophecy or control

    240. R.S.Dev was before Baba, intending to get Baba’s sanction for building five suites of rooms.

    Baba (drawing 25 lines on the floor). “One rupee for each line, i.e., each suite of rooms. Give Rs.25/-.”

    R.S.Dev paid the sum. Though he intended to build only five, he went on adding till the number happened to be 25 suites of rooms and there are only 25 even now.

    241. Baba to S.B.Nachne and Sankar Rao: “Give me Rs.64/-.”

    S.B.: We have no money,

    Subsequently when Baba was ill, they collected funds for poor feeding and sent it up. That collection was exactly Rs.64/-.

    Dakshina as claim of first fruits

    242. Daji Hait Lele, Deputy Inspector of Land Records at Nasik was going to Shirdi and on the way at Kopergaon saw the Gazette and found that he had been promoted from Rs.125/- to Rs.150/-.

    Then he came and bowed to Baba at Shirdi.

    Baba- “Bring me Rs.15/-.”

    L.: I have no money.

    Baba- “It is only yesterday I gave you Rs.25. Go and bring the money.”

    Lele borrowed the money and paid it.    (See H.V. Sathe’s Experiences).

    Dakshina to deprive a man of money which he should not have taken or kept

    243. S.B. Dhumal was directed to file a criminal appeal on behalf of Baba’s chamatkar. Judgement of acquittal was immediately pronounced, as soon as he presented the appeal. He was given Rs.300 by the appellants and when he came with the money to Shirdi.

    Baba- ” Bhau, will you give me dakshina? “

    S.B.D.: Yes, Baba.

    In this way he repeatedly collected just the Rs.300 and did not ask for anything more.

    Dakshina asked for giving effect to intention

    244. M. W.Pradhan, when starting to see Baba for the first time intended to give him Rs.20 in silver, and for that purpose got a Rs.50 note changed.

    When he actually came to Baba and dakshina was asked, he changed his mind and wanted to give gold. So he gave a sovereign.

    Baba- ” What is this?”

    Noolkar: This is a guinea.

    B.. What is it worth?

    N.: Rs.15.

    B… I do not want this.    Give me Rs.15, and keep this.

    And Pradhan carefully treasured up the coin touched by Baba and gave him 15 silver rupees.

    Baba, (counting it over and over): Here is only Rs. 10. Give me Rs.5. more:

    M.W.P.: Here are Rs.5 more.

    Thus, under colour of wrong calculation and putting to test also M.W.P.’s combativeness in dealing with his own guru, Baba gave effect to his intention to pay Rs.20.

    After receiving the Rs.20, he did not ask for anything more.

    Secondary meaning of Dakshina

    245. Baba to B.V.Dev.: “Bhau. give me dakshina. 

    B.V.Dev gave one guinea. 

    B.: Give me more.

    Baba after getting four said.- “Though four were given by you, Baba has got only one.”

    Dev.: “Baba, I have given four.”

    B.’. Yes, but I have only one.    You will know.

    The obvious interpretation is, though the devotee surrenders his fourfold Antahkarana (of Manas, Buddhi Ahankara, Chitta) Baba receives only the Jiva; and all multiplicity, when it reaches God-Baba becomes one. So the mind must surrender multiplicity unto the God Guru to attain unity’.

    Dakshina

    246. Baba (to G.G.Narke): Give me Rs.I5 dakshina.

    G.G.N’.: Baba, you know I have not got a pie. Why do you often ask me for Rs.15/-?

    Baba- ” I know you have no money. But you are reading Yoga Vasishta. Get me Rs. 15 dakshina from that.”

    Getting dakshina here means deriving lessons from Y.Vasishta and lodging them in. the heart where Baba resides.(S.C.I 86.)

    1. Baba to R.B.Purandhare: “Give me Rs.2 dakshina.” R.B.P.:  Baba, why do you constantly ask me for Rs.2 when you know that I am a poor clerk.

    B.: “It is not these coins that I want. I want (1) Nishta (faith) and (2) Saburi (patient endurance and waiting courageously). Give me these.” R.B.P.: I have given you these. Please get these done by me.

    1. Baba to Mrs. T.: Give me Rs.6 dakshina.

    Mrs. T. (to her husband). We have no money. It is so painful to be asked when we have nothing.

    Mr. T.: Baba wants only your six inner enemies (Lust, anger etc.) to be surrendered to him.

    Baba, again to Mrs.T:. Will you give me Rs.6? Mrs. T: Baba, I have given them. B.: See that you do not wander off.

    Dakshina asked for teaching lessons

    1. Judge (MB Rege) in 1912, went to see Baba with Rs.100/- in his pocket.

    Baba: Give me dakshana Rs. 40/- That was given.

    Again Baba: Give me dakshana Rs.40/- That was given.

    Again Baba: Give me Rs. 20/-

    That also was given by the judge, who noted that Baba was reducing him to zero condition.

    Later, Baba to Judge: Give me Rs.40/- dakshina.

    Judge: I have nothing to give.

    Baba: Then go and get the money and give.

    Judge: To whom am I to go.

    Baba: Shyama.

    Then Judge went to Shyama and told him.

    Shyama: You have not understood Baba. He cares a rap for you rupees. What he wants is your mind and heart, your time and soul to be devoted to him. That is his meaning.

    The Judge went back and reported to Baba.

    Baba, smiling: Go to Dixit and ask him.

    The Judge went and told Dixit.

    Dixit: Baba’s directions to you must be understood in the circumstances as a lesson to you and that you should not feel absence of money or the begging for money or for anything else to be a humiliation and that you should not consider yourself to be above begging.

    Judge went and reported to Baba. Baba, smiling: Go to Nana (N.G. Chandorkar) Judge went and reported to Nana.

    NGC: I know how delicate it is, when baba asks for Dakshina and there is nothing to be given. You must learn my plans and ways.

    Whenever I go to Shirdi, I start with a certain sum and leave half of it at Kopergaon, e.g., on this occasion I came with Rs.200/= and left half of it at Kopergaon and came to Shirdi with Rs.100/- only. I go on giving dakshana out of the stock in hand to Baba and when it is exhausted, I send for the reserve at Kopergaon. You must adopt this plan.

    Judge went and reported this to Baba.

    Baba then sent for Nana and Nana came.

    Baba: Nana, give me Rs.40/- And Nana paid it and went away.

    Again he was sent for.

    Baba: Nana, give me Rs.40/- more.

    Again Baba sent for Nana and collected Rs.20/-. Then Nana sent someone to Kopergaon for the reserve fund, but before it came, Baba wanted more from Nana and Nana felt humiliated.

    The lesson taught by these demands for dakshana was that it was a presumption on the part of anyone to think that he himself was the great Providence supplying Baba or that anyone could supply all that Baba might ask for.

    DAKSHINA:

                    See elsewhere for the meaning of Baba’s demanding Rs.5,11,16, cf 135, 136, 186, 255

    (Chakra Narayan noted that Baba never showed anger or displeasure if any did not pay dakshina, and never gave (or sold) special favour for donors of dakshina. His unbought grace was given free to all. The moneys received by Baba did not stick to his palm, but were quickly passed out. Baba did not lead a luxurious life, but lived on simple begged food, except for the addition of Naivedya presented.)

  • Donation Why asked?

    Baba, from 1908 established a threshold of dakshina (Donation) for those approaching him to cross.

    A man too much attached to wealth is frightened at the demand for dakshina and does not approach Baba.

    A person who is ready to pay dakshina shows his readiness to part with worldly things and may also be ready to part with his worldly avocations and attachments and thus be prepared for intense love towards and surrender to the Guru.

    The love of the Guru is the one thing needed, for the Guru is the sole sadhana.

    If one fully believes (the Guru Gita dicta) (1) that the Guru is an absolutely essential pre-requisite for one’s attaining Bliss (sukham) or wisdom (jnana) and to make sure that at death there will be no faltering or pain and (2) that a Guru would ensure success and happiness in life and a happy death with his help.

  • Chakra Narain, a Protestant Chirstian

    When Chakra Narain, a Christian, was appointed as Sub- Inspector at Rahata, some of his followers, who were displeased, went and told Baba, “The new Fouzdar is neither a Hindu nor a Muhammadan but a Christian’. Baba’s retort was What of that? He is my brother’. It must be remembered that Baba was called a Maharaja and looked exactly like a Maharaja in the midst of all regal paraphernalia. His powers also struck Chakra Narain as marvellous, that is, his powers of clairvoyance, and clairaudience, in popular parlance, but known to scholars as Antarjnana or Ritambhara prajna or Pratiba.

    In his statement in the book ‘Devotees’ Experiences, Volume I Page 117 in October 1936, he showed some appreciation of Sai Baba

    He admitted that he was not a believer in Baba, but he began to admire his noble qualities which he came to know when he was ordered to watch Baba. He and some of his men were watching Baba for various purposes including income tax. He conceived a great regard for Baba because he found that Baba was not moved by kuamini or kanchana (woman or wealth). Many women would come to Baba and place their bare heads on his hare feet and sit close to him. But Baba was totally unmoved. 

    This fouzdar was asked to watch Baba regarding the money he received from people Here also he had great admiration for Baba. When Baba died, the Government took possession of his cash and the amount with him was only Rs. 16. Yet he was daily giving hundreds of rupees. and Chakra Narain was wonderstruck at the fact that His riches (which they noticed) were limited, and that though there was no stock of cash with him at the beginning of the day, at the end of the day he had paid hundreds of rupees (miracle). Wherefrom did the excess come for him to disburse or pay? The Police could not make out. Therefore Chakra Narain concluded that Baba had divine powers.
