There the next day, when Das Ganu was enjoying his morning nap (some say when he was engaged in worship), he heard a poor girl singing a beautiful song in clear and melodious tones. O n fully believing in Baba's words, he left Shirdi and came to Vile Parle (a suburb of Bombay), and stayed with Kakasaheb Dixit. He was sure, that whatever Baba spoke, must come true, Baba's word was the decree of the Brahma (Almighty). The people who went present then and heard this, thought that Baba was joking and said, "How could an illiterate maid-servant solve the difficulties of this nature", but Das Garu thought otherwise. Sai Baba, blessed him and said- "You need not be anxious, there is no difficulty about the matter, the mind-servant of Kaka (Kakasaheb Dixit) will solve your doubts at Vile Parle, on your way home".

When he got an opportunity to go to Shirdi, he saw Sai Baba, prostrated himself before Him, and mentioned his difficulties about the Ishavasya Upanishad and requested Him to give the correct solution. When nobody could satisfy Das Ganu, he resolved to consult Sai Baba about this. Therefore, he thought, that he who has himself attained self-realization, can only give him the true or correct interpretation of the Upanishad.

It is the science of self-realization, it is the scythe or weapon which can rend asunder the bondage of life and death, and make us free. Now bringing Sai before our mental vision, let us meditate on Him, from His Feet upwards to His face, and prostrating before Him humbly, lovingly and respectfully, revert to the story of this Chapter.Ī s we have seen, this Upanishad is the quintessence of the Vedas. Even now, you can enjoy these sights if you bring into play your imagination. In this way He accosted each and every devotee and sent them home. Then He addressed the Bhaktas as follows:- "Oh Bhau, go to take your lunch you Anna, go to your lodgings you Bapu, enjoy your dishes". The love He bore for them in His heart was boundless. Baba passed handfuls of Udi into the palms of the devotees and marked their foreheads with Udi with His fingers. The Bhaktas also got up with equal fervour, clasped His Feet, and standing and staring at Him, enjoyed the shower of Udi. After the Arati ceremony was over, Sai used to come out of the Masjid, and standing on its edge, distribute udi to the devotees with very kind and loving looks. Let us go to Shirdi, and see carefully the programmes, after the noon-Arati. With the help of the actress Maya, He played the part of the Actor in the big drama of the universe.

he assumed a form for the sake of Bhaktas.
