Baba bought various fruits and other things from vendors with His own money, and distributed them to the persons present in the Masjid.  Baba used to press the mango on all sides so skillfully that when any person received it from Baba and sucked it, he got all the pulp at once in his mouth and could throw away the stone and the skin forth-with.

(2) On another occasion at noon the fire in the Dhuni began to burn brightly, its flames were seen to be reaching the rafters above.  The people who were sitting in the Masjid did not know what to do.  They dared not to ask Baba to pour water or do anything to quench the flames.  But Baba soon came to realize, what was happening.  He took up His Satka (short stick) and dashed it against a pillar in front, saying - "Get down, Be calm."  At each stroke of the Satka, the flames began to lower and slow down; and in a few minutes the Dhuni became calm and normal.

(1) Once at evening time, there was a terrible storm at Shirdi.  The sky was overcast with thick black clouds.  The winds began to blow forcibly; the clouds roared and the lightning began to flash, and the rains began to descend in torrents.  In a short time, the whole place was flooded with water.  All the creatures, birds, beasts and men got terribly frightened; and they all flocked to the Masjid for shelter.  There are many local Deities in Shirdi, but none of them came to their help.  So they all prayed to Baba - their God, Who was fond of their devotion, to intercede and quell the storm.  Baba was much moved.  He came out and standing at the edge of the Masjid, addressed the storm in a loud and thunderous voice - "Stop. stop your fury and be calm."  In a few minutes the rains subsided, the winds ceased to blow, and the storm came to a stop.  Then the moon rose in the sky, and the people then went back home well-pleased.

This is our Sai, an Incarnation of God.  He will bless any man who will prostrate and surrender himself to Him.  He, who will read the stories of this Chapter daily with faith and devotion, will soon be free from all calamities; not only this, but always attached and devoted to Sai, he will get very soon God-vision:  all his desires will be fulfilled and being ultimately desireless, he will attain the Supreme.  Amen!

Remember Him (Sai Baba) always with love, for He was engrossed in doing good to all, and always abided in His Self.  To remember Him only is to solve the riddle of life and death.  This is the best and easiest of Sadhanas, as it involves no expenditure.  A little exertion here brings great rewards.  So as long as our senses are sound, we should, minute by minute, practise this Sadhana.  All other Gods are illusory; Guru is the only God.  If we believe in Sadguru's holy feet, He can change our fortune for the better.  If we serve Him nicely, we get rid of our Samsar.  We need not study any philosophy like the Nyaya and the Mimansa.  If we make Him our Helmsman, we can easily cross over the sea of all our pains and sorrows.  As we trust the helmsman in crossing rivers and seas, so we have to trust our Sadguru in getting over the ocean of worldly existence.  The Sadguru looks to the intense feeling and devotion of his devotees, endows them with knowledge and eternal bliss.

"There will never be any dearth or scarcity, regarding food and clothes, in any devotees' homes.  It is my special characteristic, that I always look to, and provide for the welfare of those devotees, who worship Me whole-heartedly with their minds ever fixed on Me.

One special peculiarity of Shirdi-pilgrimage was this, that none could leave Shirdi, without Baba's permission; and if he did, he invited untold sufferings, but if any one was asked to quit Shirdi, he could stay there no longer.  Baba gave certain suggestions or hints, when Bhaktas went to bid good-bye and take leave.  These suggestions had to be followed.  If they were not followed or were departed from, accidents were sure to befall them, who acted contrary to Baba's directions.
