Then Baba descended from His seat, came to the Ramdasi's place of reading and took out the copy of Vishnu-Sahasra-Nama, and after coming back to His seat said to Shama- "Oh Shama, this book is very valuable and efficacious, so I present it to you, you read it.  Once, I suffered intensely and My heart began to palpitate and My life was in danger.  At that critical time, I hugged this book to My heart and then, Shama, what a relief it gave me!  I thought that Allah Himself came down and saved Me.  So I give this to you, read it slowly, little by little, read daily one name at least and it will do you good.

Then Baba said- "What does he write, and what does he plan?  It seems that he wants reach the sky and that he is not content with what God had given him; read his letter."

"Oh Shama, read it please, I speak, at random and who believes Me." 

Then Shama read the letter and Baba heard it attentively and said feelingly, " The Shet (Damu Anna) has gone mad; write to him in reply, that nothing is wanting in his house, let him be content with the half loaf (bread) he has now, and let him not bother himself about lakhs."

"The letter contains what you have just said now.  Oh, Deva you sit here calm and composed and agitate the devotees and when they get restless, you draw them here, some in person and others through letters.  If you know the contents of the letter, why do you then press me to read it?'

"Believe Me, though I pass away, My bones in My tomb will give you hope and confidence.  Not only Myself but My tomb would be speaking, moving and communicating with those, who would surrender themselves whole-heartedly to Me.  Do not be anxious that I would be absent from you.  You will hear My bones speaking and discussing your welfare.  But remember Me always, believe in Me heart and soul, and then you will be most benefited."

Hemadpant closes this Chapter with a prayer, "Oh Sai Sadguru, the Wish Fulfilling Tree of the Bhaktas, we pray - "Let us never forget and lose sight of Your Feet;  we have been troubled with the ins and outs (births and deaths) in this samsar; now free us from this cycle of births and deaths.  Restrain us from the outgoing of our senses to their objects and introvert us, and bring us face to face with the Atma (Self).  As long as this outgoing tendency of the senses and the mind is not checked, there is no prospect of self-relization.  Neither son, nor wife nor friend, will be of any use in the end.  It is only, You, Who will give us salvation and happiness.  Destroy completely our tendency for discussions and other evil matters, let our tongue get a passion for chanting Your name.  Drive out our thoughts, good or otherwise, and make us forget our bodies and houses, and do away with our egoism.  Make us ever remember Your name, and forget all other things.  Remove the restlessness of our mind, and make it steady and calm.  If you just clasp us, the darkness of night, of our ignorance, will vanish and we shall live happily in Your light.  That, You made us drink the nectar of Your Leelas and awakened us from our slumber, is due to Your grace and our store of merits in past births."

"It is true that you give to the persons present; but if non be near-by, what could you or I do?  But do you remember Me before eating?  Am I not always with you?  Then do you offer Me anything before you eat?"
