All pervading, all encompassing Swami Samartha -
When a devotee invited Shri Swami Samartha for meals, He said “ When everybody is fed I feel satisfied. Go happily and feed all the poor.”
Shri Swami Samartha as Dhanvantari i.e. Divine healer.
a.) A devotee suffering chronically from the unbearable pains in stomach was advised by Shri Swami Samartha “ The lime tree is called ‘Shripuri’ . Press the juice of fresh lemon, mix it with ginger and rocksalt and take this mixture for three days you will be relieved of your pain.”
b). A European person had some injury on a leg, which caused him unbearable pain. Doctors advised amputation, saying that there was no other remedy. Shri Swami Samartha gave him certain herbs and advised him
“ Wash rice grains with water. Mash these herbs and add it to the water in which rice is washed. Take this mixture internally and also apply it externally to the injury. Your leg will be healed.”
c.) To a devotee suffering from leprosy Shri Swami Samartha suggested the remedy
“ Apply your feces to your body”
d ). A devotee told Shri Swami Samartha that his son was blind. Shri Swami Samartha suggested the cure “ apply the urine of a buffalo.”
e.) A person suffering from piles was suggested a treatment by Shri Swami Samartha. He told his friend,” Give him the urine of cow and he will be healed”
9. Pun on the word ‘Panchapatra’ (A utensil consisting of five bowls)-
One of the ladies, who had gathered around Shri Swami Samartha for His darshan, referring to some article, said casually to other lady “It is kept in Panchapatra, take it”. Swami Maharaj heard this and made a pun “ Do you yourself realize the object which is in the Panchpatra? Have you laid your hands on it? And if you have then explain its true nature to me. I will take it then, if you ask me to”
(There is a pun in this statement – This body consisting of five sense organs is made up of five primordial elements. The ever pure, free and enlightened soul of the person is trapped in this body. By Masters grace and practice of spiritual disciplines one understands its true nature and then ‘that object’ and supreme soul merge into each other. This is what Shri Swami Maharaj might have meant.)
