Sai baba will get u job,kids.......y fear...
I will settle him.
Sai baba
Narke travelled far for his job but there was no stability in one place.Here the post is related to Narke's job stability....
Narke's relatives were asking what will happen of him seeing that he had such unsettled course of life .Narke would go long distant so his mother also wished and prayed to Baba for him to settle near home or Shirdi .Baba answered and told them "I will settle him at thingya”
Same time Narke got many job offers and each time he would go to Baba ,relying on his foresight and all seeing wisdom to guide he would go .Baba's choice was very strange at times.When once Narke went to ask baba about the choice between Calcutta and Burma Baba chose Burma ( distance more than Calcutta).He always would say "Go to Burma and thingya or go to such and such a place and thingya" adding thingya every time he made the selection.
Once In 1916 he had to choose between an offer from Banares of a professorship and a prospecting job at Burma. Baba told him "Go to Burma and thingya".Narke always laughed within himself at the addition of thingya as he was a Mining Engineer and thingya held no prospects for him.
It was in 1917 that the announcement was made that a Professor of Geology for the College of Engineering at thingya was wanted. He asked Baba if he should apply for the post. He said "yes' and went to thingya to see all people concerned. It was a tough work, as the applicants for the post were many and were supported by various influential persons.
After Narke left Shirdi. Baba inquired of the men there" Where is Narke gone?" They told him " He has gone to thingya, to try for the appointment" "Allah will bless" was Baba's remark.
He then asked whether Narke had any children and was informed that several were born but none survived (they died after a very short life). "Allah will bless" was again his remark..He secured the appointment in 1918 and was made permanent in 1919 in Pune; and children born since then were not short lived. Four sons he had secured by Baba's grace.In this way Babas foresightedness came true and Narke's life gained stability.

poor man named Laxmanrao Govindrao Munge lived in Nashik. He used to sit in the threshold of Nashik court. He did some documentation work and at the end of the day he earned only one rupee or one and half rupee.
In those days, for a girl to be given in marriage, only boy’s qualification, salary, etc was not considered by her family. The boy may be poor, but his family, family’s behaviour with others and above all maternal uncle’s family had to be good. Laxmanrao’s maternal uncle lived in Rahata village. Due to his maternal uncle’s good family background and high position, Laxmanrao’s marriage was fixed in a good family. Now the question was of money for the expenses of his marriage. He had to compulsorily give gold ornaments and the whole expense of his marriage was to be borne single handed. Moreover in those days a man was valued by his word of mouth. If a man had promised to give something in social functions like marriage or similar occasions, those words could not be taken back. It would be better to consume poison rather than turn back from one’s words.
Laxmanrao was worried about the expenses. Like a person has hope on a single star in a dark night, so Laxmanrao had hope from his uncle. He was confident that his uncle would help him in monetary terms. Thinking likewise, he started to Rahata to his uncle’s place from Nashik. In between, he came to Shirdi, Sai Baba’s holy land.
Laxmanrao came to Sai Baba’s Dwarkamai and fell at His feet. Sai Baba gave him two mangoes to eat. The mangoes were incredibly sweet in taste. Then Laxmanrao sat massaging Sai Baba’s feet. Sai Baba started talking with him and said, “Whatever is written in your fate, you are bound to get. Always have a feeling of satisfaction in your heart and be happy with whatever you have. Without God’s order, even a leaf cannot move. So don’t worry and always try to be simple, honest and truthful. I am independent and have independent thoughts, is said by many people, but this is not true. God is the only Doer, we are dependent on Him, my son! No one is relative of anyone. Relatives are only for show off, but no one come to help you in critical situations. If you want one-two thousand rupees, I can give you. Laxmanrao failed to understand what Sai Baba wanted to say. He then left for Rahata to his uncle’s place. His uncle refused to help him. Now Laxmanrao was reminded of Sai Baba’s words that, “No one is relative of anyone. Relations and relatives are only for show off. If you want I can give you money. Walking out of Rahata village, he further thought, “Everyday Sai Baba distributes all the money received as dakshina and next day He becomes a poor Fakir. Then how can He give me such a big amount of money?†But now he started praying to Sai Baba mentally, “Oh God, Sainath! You are omnipotent. I don’t have that much courage to understand your sweet words. I am not very intelligent and my devotion to You is also less than that. Oh God! Bless me. You have promised me to give one-two thousand rupees, but I cannot understand the exact meaning of your wordsâ€. Now he reached to a place named Sinnor.
There was a big business of cigarettes and tobacco of Gujarati traders in Sinnor and Laxmanrao was initially introduced to a Gujarati Trader. After a couple of meetings, the trader generated trust on Laxmanrao. So he gave Laxmanrao 30 Tolas (a tola means 10 gram of gold), a nose ring, which is considered to be very important in Marathi Tradition and a diamond studded pair anklets. In this way Sai Baba arranged money for the expenses of Laxmanrao’s marriage being a poor Fakir. Is it not Sai Baba's Leela He Laxmanrao met the Gujarati trader and in turn was helped by a stranger. Thus by Sai Baba’s grace, Laxmanrao’s marriage went off without any trouble and he was ever grateful to Sai Baba.
