On seeing veiled ladies with him, Nanasaheb wanted to go away, but Baba prevented him from doing so.  The ladies came and took the darshan of Baba.  When on of the ladies removed her veil in saluting Baba's Feet and then resumed it again, Nanasaheb, who saw her face, was so much smitten with her rare beauty, that he wished to see her face again.  By knowing Nana's restlessness of mind, Baba spoke to him, after the lady had left the place as follows-

"Nana, why are you getting agitated in vain?  Let the senses do their allotted work, or duty, we should not meddle with their work.  God had created this beautiful world, and it is our duty to appreciate its beauty.  The mind will get steady and calm slowly and gradually.  When the front door was open, why go by the back one?  When the heart is pure, there is no difficulty, whatsoever.  Why should one be afraid of any one, if there be no evil thought in us?  The eyes may do their work, why should you feel shy and tottering?"

"That our mind is fickle by nature, it should not be allowed to get wild.  The senses may get restless, the body, however, should be held in check, and not allowed to be impatient.  Senses run after objects, but we should not follow them and crave for their objects.  By slow and gradual practice, restlessness can be conquered.  We should not be swayed by the senses, but they cannot be completely controlled.  We should curb them, rightly and properly, according to the need of the occasion.  Beauty is the subject of sight; we should fearlessly look at the beauty of objects.  There is no room for shyness or fear.  Only, we should never entertain evil thoughts.  Making the mind desireless, observe God's works of beauty.  In this way, the senses will be easily and naturally controlled, and even in enjoying objects you will be reminded of God.  If the outer senses are held in check, and if the mind be allowed to run after objects and be attached to them, our cycle of births and deaths will not come to an end.  Objects of sense are things harmful.  With Viveka (discrimination) as our charioteer, we will control the mind, and shall not allow the senses to go astray.  With such a charioteer, we reach the Vishnu-pada-the final abode, our real Home from which there is no return".

The son was named Murlidhar.  Two others (Bhaskar and Dinkar) were born afterwards.  The Sapatnekar pair thus realized that Baba's words were never untrue and unfulfilled, but turned out literally true.

"Oh, Sainath, we do not know how to redeem Your obligations, therefore, we prostrate ourselves before You.  bless us poor helpless fellows, henceforth, let Your holy Feet be our sole refuge.  Many thoughts and ideas trouble us in waking and dream states, so turn away our minds from them to Your bhajan and bless us."

That Baba's words came out true to the letter; and unbounded was His love towards the devotees.  But leave this aside.  He also loved all creatures equally, for He felt that He was one with them.
