The Greatness of Udi (continued):

The Iranian Girl
The Gentleman from Harda
And the lady from Bombay
The Doctor’s Nephew

There was a Doctor who lived in a place called Malegaon. His nephew suffered from an incurable disease− tubercular bone abscess− and the doctor and his brothers, who were also doctors, tried all sorts of remedies and even an operation. All this did not give the boy any relief and there seemed to be no end to the little boy’s suffering. Friends and relatives advised the parents of the boy to seek divine aid and recommended them to try Sai Baba, who was known to have cured such incurable cases by His mere glance. The parents therefore came to Shirdi and prostrated themselves before Baba. They placed the boy before Him and pleaded humbly and respectfully, and implored Baba to save their son. The merciful Baba comforted them saying, “Those who resort to this Masjid shall never suffer anything in this life and till the end of time. Be care-free now; apply Udi on the abscess and within one week he will recover. Believe in God; This is not a Masjid, but a Dwarawati (a celestial doorway). He who steps in will soon get health and happiness and his sufferings will come to an end”. The boy was placed before Baba, Who touched the affected part and cast His loving glances on the boy. The patient was pleased and with the application of Udi, he began to recover and was completely cured within a few days. The parents then left Shirdi with their son, thanking Baba for the cure; This cure was through Udi and Baba’s divine grace.

After learning about all this, the doctor was wonderstruck and wanted to receive Baba’s darshan, while he was on his way to Bombay for some business. But at Malegaon and Manmad, somebody spoke to him about Baba and poisoned his ears. He therefore dropped the idea of visiting Shirdi and went to Bombay directly. He wanted to spend the rest of his vacation at Alibag, but at Bombay he heard (on three successive nights), a voice crying out, “You still don’t believe me?” Then the doctor changed his mind and resolved to go to Shirdi. He had to attend to a case of viral fever in Bombay, which showed no signs of abatement. So he thought that his Shirdi trip would be postponed. He however proposed a test in his mind and said, “If the patient gets better today, I shall start for Shirdi tomorrow.” The amazing thing was that exactly at the time he proposed the test in his mind, the patient’s fever began to abate and the patient’s temperature soon became normal. Then he went to Shirdi with Baba’s grace, received Baba’s darshan and prostrated himself before Baba. He stayed there for four days and returned home with Baba’s Udi and blessings. His nephew’s case had given him an opportunity to see Baba and this gave him ever-lasting love for Baba’s feet.

Dr. Pillay

Dr. Pillay was a devotee who was very close to Baba. He was well-liked by Baba, Who always called him Bhau (brother). Baba spoke to him regularly, consulted him in all matters and always wanted him by His side. Pillay once suffered very badly from guinea-worms. He said to Kakasaheb Dixit, “The pain is so excruciating and unbearable; I prefer death to it. I know this pain is to repay my past Karma. But please go to Baba and tell Him to stop the pain and transfer the repayment of my past Karma to ten future births of mine.” Dixit went to Baba and told Him of Pillay’s request. Then Baba, moved by his request, said to Dixit, “Tell him to be fearless; Why should he suffer for ten births? In ten days, he can work out the suffering and consequences of his past Karma. When I am here to take care of his temporal and spiritual welfare, why should he pray for death? Bring him here on somebody’s back and let us work and finish his sufferings once and for all”.

Dr. Pillay was brought in that condition and was seated to the right of where Baba was seated. Baba gave Pillay His pillow and said, “Lie calmly here and be at ease. The true remedy is that the results of our past actions have to be suffered through. Our Karma is the cause of our happiness and sorrow; therefore put up with whatever comes to you.

Bow to Shri Sai – Peace be to all
