Shri Sai Sat Charitra-Chapter XXVII-Part III
Sai Ram. The Ramadasi was behaving exactly the way Shama predicted but Shama could not have predicted the next turn of the events to follow. And the efficacy of God's (and Guru's) Name has been and is being felt by the author of these articles in the last few years and he can definitely say with a hand on his heart how the mantra of Sai Ram has helped him in many situations and has definitely helped him and those he was destined to help. Sai Ram.
Shama calmly remonstrated with him, but in vain. Then Baba spoke kindly to him as follows - "Oh Ramadasi, what is the matter with you? Why are you so turbulent? Is not Shama our boy? Why do you scold him unnecessarily? How is it that you are so quarrelsome? Can you not speak soft and sweet words? You read daily these sacred books and still your mind is impure and your passions uncontrolled. What sort of a Ramadasi you are! You ought to be indifferent to all things. Is it not strange that you should covet this book so strongly?
A true Ramadasi should have no 'mamata' (attachment) but have 'samata' (equality) towards all. You are now quarreling with the boy Shama for a mere book. Go, take your seat, books can be had in plenty for money, but not men; think well and be considerate. What worth is your book? Shama had no concern with it. I took it up Myself and gave it to him. You know it by heart. I thought Shama might read it and profit thereby, and so I gave to it him."
How sweet were these words of Baba, soft, tender and nectar-like! Their effect was wonderful. The Ramadasi calmed down and said to Shama that he would take 'Panch-ratni' Geeta in return. Shama was much pleased and said - "Why one, I shall give ten copies in return".
Sai Ram. Here we see the wonderful effects of Guru's grace. Anger was quenched with love and Baba loved the Ramadasi inspite of his quarrelsome qualities. He gave loving spiritual instructions and the words took root. The sadhana of the Ramadasi for all those years bore fruit. Sai Ram.
So the matter was ultimately compromised. The question for consideration is "Why should the Ramadasi press for Pancha-ratni Geeta, the God in which he never cared to know, and why should he, who daily read religious books in the Masjid in front of Baba, quarrel with Shama before Him?" We do not know how to apportion the blame and whom to blame. We only say that, had this procedure been not gone through, the importance of the subject, the efficacy of God's name and the study of Vishnu-Sahasra-Nam would not have been brought home to Shama. So we see that Baba's method, of teaching and initiating was unique. In this case Shama did gradually study the book and mastered its contents to such an extent, that he was able to explain it to Professor G.G. Narke, M.A. of the College of Engineering, Poona, the son-in-law of Shriman Booty and a devotee of Baba.
