Then Baba spoke as follows when Lakhmichand came in the presence of the master.

"Cunning fellow, he does bhajan on the way and enquires from others. Why ask others? Everything we should see with our own eyes; where is the necessity to question others? Just think for yourself whether your dream is true or not? Where was the necessity of the darshan by taking a loan from a Marwari? Is the heart's desire now satisfied?"

Hearing these words Lakhmichand was wonderstruck at Baba's omniscience. He was at a loss to know how Baba came to know about all the things that had happened enroute from his house to Shirdi.

Sai Ram. Though he heard about Sai Baba and His greatness, he was wonderstruck because he had to absorb the experiences and realise for himself. That is why Sai is showing 'miracles' even today so that the individual souls start realising the wonders of the Creator. Sai Ram.

The chief thing to note in this respect is that Baba never liked people to run into debt for taking His darshan, or celebrating any holiday or making any pilgrimage.

Sai Ram. God and Guru are not interested in pomp and splendor. They want real devotion. So, Baba was suggesting that one should not engage in rituals and pomp for showing off one's wealth or one should not be under the false impression that one can buy one's way out of difficulties or one can appease God / Guru or please Him through puja, dakshina etc.

We will continue with this chapter in the coming weeks. Sai Ram.
