Hearing these significant words, Mr. Cholkar was much moved, he was wonderstruck, his eyes were bedewed with tears, and he fell at Baba's Feet again.  MR. Jog was also curious about this direction, regarding the tea-cups to be given to his guest.  Baba wanted by His words to create faith and devotion in Cholkar's mind.  He hinted as it were, that He got the sugar-candy as per his vow and that He knew full well his secret determination not to use sugar in his diet.

On another occasion he had an attack of Cholera, and suffered from severe thirst.  Dr. Pillai tried all sorts of remedies but could give him no relief.  Then he went to Baba and consulted Him as what to drink that would allay his thirst and cure the disease.  Baba prescribed an infusion of almonds, walnuts, pistachio (a kind of dry fruit). boiled in sugared milk.  This would be considered, as a fatal aggravation of the disease by any other doctor or physician, but in implicit obedience to Baba's order, the infusion was administered and strange to say, the disease was cured.

Shriman Bapusaheb Booty suffered, once from dysentery and vomitting.  His cupboard was full of patent drugs and medicines, but none of them had any effect.  Bapusaheb got very weak, on account of purgings and vomittings and, therefore, was not able to go to the Masjid for Baba's darshana.  Baba then sent for him and made him sit before Him said- "Now take care, you should not purge any more" and waving His index-finger 'The vomitting must also step.'  Now look at the force of Baba's words.  Both the maladies took to their heels (disappeared) and Booty felt well.

A Swami from Alandi, wishing to take Baba's darshana, came to Shirdi.  He suffered from a severe pain in his ear, which prevented him from getting the sleep.  He was operated for this, but it served no purpose.  The pain was severe and he did not know what to do.  While he was returning, he came to take Baba's leave, when Shama (Madhavrao Deshpande) requested Baba to do something for the pain in the Swami's ear.  Baba comforted him saying - "Alla Accha Karega (God will do good)."  The Swami then returned to Poona, and after a week sent a letter to Shirdi, stating that the pain in his ear had subsided though the swelling was there, and in order to get the swelling removed, he went to Bombay for operation, but the surgeon on examining the ear said that no operation was then necessary.  Such was the wonderful effect of Baba's words.

Once a Mamlatdar came to Shirdi, with a Doctor friend of his.  The Doctor said that his Deity was Rama and that he would not bow before a Mahomedan, and so, he was unwilling to go to Shirdi.  The Mamlatdar replied, that nobody would press him to make a bow, would ask him to do so.  So he should come and give the pleasure of his company.  Accordingly, they came to Shirdi, and went to the Masjid for Baba's darshana.  All were wonder-struck to see, the Doctor going ahead and saluting Baba.  They asked him how he forgot his resolve, and bowed before a Mussalman.  Then the Doctor replied that he saw his beloved Deity, Rama, on the seat, and he, therefore prostrated himself before Him.  Then as he was saying this, he saw, Sai Baba there again.  Being dismayed, he said.  "Is this a dream?  How could He be a Mahomedan?  He is a great Yogasampanna (full of Yoga) Avatar."

Next day, he made a vow and began to fast.  He absented himself from the Masjid, resolving not to go there, until Baba blessed him.  Three days passed and on the fourth day, a close friend of his from Khandesh, turned up and with him, he went to the Masjid for Baba's darshana.  After the salutation, Baba asked him, whether anybody had gone to call him, so that he had come,  Hearing this vital question, the Doctor was moved.  The same night he was blessed by Baba, and he experienced the Bliss supreme, in his sleep.  Then he left for his town, where he experienced the same state of a fortnight.  Thus his devotion to Sai Baba increased manifold.
