I. During and recent heavy floods in Patna, my sister-in-law, her husband & two very young children were confined to their first floor flat and water around rose to 8 feet. Coming out by the staircase door, she applied Baba's Udi to the level of the water. It never rose further The next day, when she just opened the door, she found a big Cobra floating on the water. It could be, as per her feeling that Baba was guarding her flat. The day after a friend came in and hired boat and took them out by sliding on the water main on the back to his safe place.
2. On 8th Oct. 75, I had just Rs. 8/- in my pocket. My , one Gurubandhu, as usual had booked my seat by night bus leaving Bombay on 11th for Shirdi to partake in Dassera Festival, Mentally I told Baba that I would not ask for expenses money from my wife, my children, who all have their saving accounts and NOT even from my own Manager, who keeps enough cash and looks after my business. He must HIMSELF only give me not only enough for expenses but to repay bank overdraft, due to be paid positively by 14th, and also to leave sufficient balance in the bank so that my manager has no difficulty for funds. Failing this, I told Baba that I would ask my friend to give the ticket to some one else or I will pay for it, BUT would not go to Shirdi with all this" burden on my mind. Wonder of wonders the next day, Thursday, payments came unexpectedly earlier enough to pay up the bank and leave more than necessary balance in the bank. So. I left for Shirdi on due date and with pocket full of money and mind devoid of all worries. As Baba said "keep faith in ME and put all your burden on ME". HE did this in my case. Praise be to HIM and also Jai Jai Kar and peace to all.
