    The last wish or thought that a man has at the hour of death, determines
    his future course. Shri Krishna has said in Gita (VIII-5-6) that "he who
    remembers Me in his last moments, comes verily to Me, and he that meditates
    otherwise at that time goes to what he looks for." We cannot be certain
    that we can entertain a particular good thought at our last moment, for,
    more often than not, we are more likely to be frightened and terrified by
    many causes. Hence constant practice is necessary for enabling us to fix
    our mind on any desired good thought at any or the last moment. All Saints,
    therefore, recommended us to always remember God and chant His name always,
    so that we may not be puzzled when the time for departure comes. The
    devotees on their part surrender themselves completely to the Saints, fully
    believing that the all-knowing Saints would guide and help them in their
    last moments. A few such cases will be noted here.
     
    *(1) Vijayanand *
     
    A Madrasi Sannyasi named Vijayanand started on a pilgrimage to
    Manasa-Sarovar. En route, hearing Baba's fame, he halted at Shirdi. There
    he met one Somadevaji Swami of Hardwar and enquired of him about the
    particulars of the Manasa-Sarovar trip. The Swami told him that the Sarovar
    was 500 miles above the Gangotri and described to him the difficulties of
    the journey, viz. plenty of snow and the change of dialect every 50 koss
    and the suspicious nature of the people of Bhutan who give a lost of
    trouble to the pilgrims on the way. Hearing this, the Sannyasi was dejected
    and cancelled the trip. Then when he went to Baba and prostrated himself
    before Him, Baba got enraged and said, "Drive out this useless Sannyasi,
    his company is of no use". The Sannyasi did not know Baba's nature. He felt
    discomforted, but sat there watching things that were going on. It was the
    morning Darbar and the Masjid was overcrowded. Baba was being worshipped in
    various ways. Some were washing His Feet, some taking the Tirth (holy
    water) from His toe and drinking it heartily and some touching their eyes
    with it, some were applying sandal-paste, and some scents to His body. And
    all were doing these things forgetting the distinction of caste and creed.
    Though Baba got enraged with him, he was filled with affection for Baba and
    he did not like to leave the place.
     
    He stayed in Shirdi for two days when he got a letter from Madras stating
    that his mother was very ill. He felt very dejected and wanted to be by his
    mother's side; but he could not leave without Baba's permission. So he saw
    Baba with the letter in hand and asked for His permission to return home.
    The omniscient Baba knowing the future said to him - "If you so loved your
    mother, why did you take Sannayasa? Fondness or attachment ill becomes an
    ochre garb. Go and sit quiet at your lodging, wait with patience for a few
    days. In the Wada there are many robbers, bolt your doors, be very
    vigilant, the thieves will carry everything. Wealth and prosperity are
    transient and the body is subject to decay and death. Knowing this, do your
    duty, leaving all attachment to the things of this world and next. He who
    does this and surrenders himself to the Feet of Hari (Lord) will get free
    from all troubles and attain bliss. The Lord runs and helps him who
    remembers and meditates on Him with love and affection. Your store of past
    merits is considerable, so you have come here. Now attend to what I say and
    realise the end of your life. Being desireless, begin from tomorrow the
    study of Bhagwat. Do three 'saptahas' i.e. three reading during three
    weeks, conscientiously. The Lord will be pleased with you and destroy your
    sorrows, your illusions will vanish and you will get peace." Seeing that
    his end was approaching, Baba prescribed that remedy and made him read
    'Ramavijaya' which pleases the God of death. Next morning after bathing and
    other purifying rites he commenced to read Bhagwat in a secluded part in
    the Lendi garden. He completed two readings and thereafter felt much
    exhausted. He returned to the Wada and stayed in his lodging for two days
    and on the third day he breathed his last on Fakir (Bade) Baba's lap. Baba
    asked the people to preserve the body for a day for a good reason. The
    police afterwards came and on making proper enquiries gave permission for
    the disposal of the body. It was buried in a proper place with due rites.
    In this way Baba helped the Sannyasi and ensured him Sadgati (salvation).
     
    *(2) Balaram Mankar *
     
    There was a house-holder devotee of Baba by name Balaram Mankar. When his
    wife passed away, he got dejected and entrusting his household to his son,
    left his home and came to Shirdi and lived with Baba. Being pleased with
    his devotion, Baba wanted to give a good turn to his life and He did this
    in this wise. He gave him Rs. 12/- and asked him to go and live in
    Macchindragad (District Satara). Mankar was first unwilling to go and stay
    away from Baba, but Baba convinced him that he was giving the best course
    for him and asked him to practise mediation thrice a day on the Gad.
    Believing in Baba's words, Mankar came to the Gad. He was much pleased with
    the lovely sight, pure water, healthy air and the surroundings of the
    place, and began to practice assiduously the meditations as recommended by
    Baba. After some days he got a revelation. Generally Bhaktas get revelation
    in their Samadhi or trance states, but in Mankar's case he got it, when he
    came down to his ordinary consciousness from his trance. Baba appeared to
    him in person. Not only that Mankar saw Him, but he also asked Him why he
    was sent there. Baba replied - "In Shirdi many thoughts and ideas began to
    rise in your mind and I sent you here to rest your unsteady mind. You
    thought that I was in Shirdi with a body composed of the five elements and
    three and a half cubits in length, and not outside of it. Now you see and
    determine for yourself whether the person you see here now is the same you
    saw at Shirdi. It is for this reason that I sent you here." Then after the
    period was over, Mankar left the Gada and proceeded to his native place
    Bandra. He wanted to travel by rail from Poona to Dadar, but when he went
    to the booking office to get a ticket, he found it very much crowded. He
    could not get his ticket soon, when, a villager with a langoti (piece of
    cloth) on his waist and kambali on his shoulder turned up and said - "Where
    are your going?" "To Dadar." replied Mankar. Then he said - "Please take
    this Dadar ticket of mine; as I have some urgent business here, I have
    cancelled my Dadar trip." Mankar was very glad to receive the ticket and
    was just taking out money from his pocket, when the rustic disappeared in
    the crowd. Mankar tried to find him out in the crowd, but it was in vain.
    He waited for him till the train left the station but found no trace of
    him. This was the second revelation Mankar got in a strange form. Then
    Mankar after visiting his home, again returned to Shirdi and remained there
    at Baba's feet, always following His biddings and advice. In the end, he
    was very fortunate to leave this world in the presence, and with the
    blessings of Baba.
     
    *(3) Tatyasaheb Noolkar *
     
    Hemadpant gives no particulars regarding Tatyasaheb Noolkar, except the
    bare mention of the fact that he up his ghost in Shirdi. A brief summary of
    his account that appeared in the Sai Leela magazine is given here.
     
    Tatyasaheb was a Sub-Judge at Pandharpur in 1909, when Nanasaheb Chandorkar
    was Mamalatdar there. Both met often and exchanged talks. Tatyasaheb did
    not believe in saints, while Nanasaheb loved them. Nanasaheb often told him
    the Leelas of Sai Baba and pressed him to go to Shirdi and see Baba. He
    finally agreed to go to Shirdi on two conditions:- (1) he must get a
    Brahmin cook, and (2) must get good Nagpur oranges for the presentation.
    Both these conditions were providentially fulfilled. A Brahmin came to
    Nanasaheb for service and he was sent to Tatyasaheb and a fruit parcel
    containing 100 beautiful oranges was received by Tatyasaheb, the consigner
    being not known. As the conditions were fulfilled, Tatyasaheb had to go to
    Shirdi. At first Baba was much enraged with him. But by and by Tatyasaheb
    got such experiences that he was convinced that Baba was God incarnate. So
    he was enamoured of Baba and stayed there till his death. As his end was
    approaching, sacred literature was read out to him and at the last hour
    Baba's Pada-tirth was brought and given to him for drinking. Baba on
    hearing of his death, said, "Oh, Tatya went ahead of us, he won't be
    reborn."
     
    *(4) Megha *
     
    The story of Megha has been already described in Chapter 28. When Megha
    died, all the villagers followed the funeral procession. Baba also
    accompanied them and showered flowers on Megha's body. After the obsequies
    were performed, tears flowed from Baba's eyes and like an ordinary mortal,
    Baba showed Himself overcome with grief and sorrow. Then covering the body
    with flowers and crying like a near relation, Baba returned to the Masjid.
     
    Many Saints have been seen giving Sadgati to men, but Baba's greatness is
    unique. Even a cruel animal like a tiger came to Baba's feet for being
    saved. It is this story which will be narrated now.
     
    *(5) Tiger *
     
    Seven days before Baba passed away, a wonderful incident occured at Shirdi.
    There came a country-cart and stopped in front of the Masjid. A tiger was
    on the cart, fastened with iron chains, with its fierce face turned to the
    rear. It was suffering from some pain or agony. Its keepers - three
    Derveshis - were taking it from place to place and making money by
    exhibiting it. It was the means of their subsistence. They tried all sorts
    of remedies to cure it from the malady it was suffering from, but all was
    in vain. Then they heard of Baba's fame and came to Him with the animal.
    They got it down the chains in their hands and made it stand at the door.
    It was naturally fierce, besides, disease ridden. So it was restless. The
    people began to look at it with fear and amazement. The Derveshies went in,
    told Baba everything about the animal and with His consent, brought it
    before Him. As it approached the steps, it was taken aback on account of
    the lustre of Baba and hung its head down. When both saw each other, it got
    on the step and looked at Baba with affection. Immediately it moved the
    tuft of its tail and dashed it thrice against the ground and then fell down
    senseless. On seeing it dead the Derveshis were first much dejected and
    full of sorrow, but on mature thought they came to their senses. They
    considered that as the animal was diseased and nearing its end, it was very
    meritorious on its part that it should meet its death at the feet and in
    the presence of Baba. It was their debtor, and when the debt was paid off
    it was free and met its end at Sai's Feet. When any creatures bow down
    their heads at saints' feet and meet death, they are saved; and unless they
    have got a good store of merit on their account, How could they get such a
    happy end?

    हे साई। आपके श्रीचरण धन्य है और उनका स्मरण कितना सुखदायी है । आपके
    भवभयविनाशक स्वरुप का दर्शन भी धन्य है, जिसके फलस्वरुप कर्मबन्धन छिन्नभिन्न
    हो जाते है । यघपि अब हमें आपके सगुण स्वरुप का दर्शन नहीं हो सकता, फिर भी
    यदि भक्तगण आपके श्रीचरणों में श्रद्घा रखें तो आप उन्हें प्रत्यक्ष अनुभव दे
    दिया करते है। आप एक अज्ञात आकर्षण शक्ति द्घारा निकटस्थ या दूरस्थ भक्तों को
    अपने समीप खींचकर उन्हें एक दयालु माता की समान हृदय से लगाते है। हे साई।
    भक्त नहीं जा
    नते कि आपका निवास कहाँ है, परन्तु आप इस कुशलता से उन्हें प्रेरित करते है,
    जिसके परिणामस्वरुप भासित होने लगता है कि आपका अभयहस्त उनके सिर पर है और यह
    आपकी ही कृपा-दृष्टि का परिणाम है कि उन्हें अज्ञात सहायता सदैव प्राप्त होती
    रहती है।
    (श्री साई सच्चरित्र)
