Chapter 25
Damu Anna Kasar of Ahmednagar - (1) Speculations - (2) Amra-Leela
Sai Baba is always full of mercy. What is wanted on our part is whole-hearted devotion to Him. When a devotee has got firm faith and devotion, his wishes are soon fulfilled.
Whenever, a devotee had complete and whole-hearted devotion to Sai Baba, all his calamities and dangers were warded off and his welfare attended to by Baba.
Amra-Leela (Mango miracle)
Once a parcel of about 300 good mangoes was received at Shirdi. It was sent from Goa by one Mamlatdar named Rale to Sai Baba in the name of Shama. When it was opened, all the mangoes were found to be in a good condition. They were given in Shama's charge and only four were retained and placed in the kolamba (pot) by Baba. He said that, "These four fruits are for Damu Anna, let them lie there".
This Damu Anna had three wives. According to his statement mentioned above, he had not three but two wives only. He had no issue. He consulted many astrologers and himself studied astrology to some extent and found that as there was a 'papi' (inauspicious) planet in his horoscope, there was no prospect of any issue to him in this life. But he had great faith in Baba. When he went to Shirdi, two hours after the receipt of the mango parcel, for worshipping Baba, He said, "Though other people are looking for the mangoes, they are Dammya's. He whose they are, should 'eat and die'." Damu Anna on hearing these words was first shocked, but on Mhalsapati (a prominent Shirdi devotees) explaining to him that death meant the death of the little self or egos, and to have it at Baba's Feet was a blessing, he said that he would accept the fruits and eat them. But Baba said to him. "Do not eat yourself, but give them to your junior wife. This Amra-Leela (mango miracle of 4 mangoes) will give her four sons and four daughters. This was done and ultimately in due course it was found Baba's words turned out true and not those of the astrologers.
Baba's speech established its efficacy or greatness while He was living in the flesh, but wonder of wonders! It did the same even after His passing away.
Baba said - "BELIEVE ME,THOUGH I PASS AWAY, MY BONES IN MY TOMB WILL GIVE YOU HOPE & CONFIDENCE.NOT ONLY MYSELF BUT MY TOMB WOULD BE SPEAKING, MOVING & 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 & DISCUSSING YOUR WELFARE. BUT REMEMBER ME ALWAYS, BELIEVE IN ME HEART & SOUL & THEN YOU WILL BE MOST BENEFITED".
There are so many crowding to Sai Baba. Do they all get benefit from Him?
"Look at the mango tree in blossom. If all the flowers brought fruit, what a splendid crop it would be. But do they? Most fall off (either as flowers or as unripe fruits) by wind etc. Very few remain".
