Doctors say, “Apply Baba’s Udi” !
Once upon a time a devotee’s eyes were swollen and were like red balls. Both pupils were blood-red and no vaid was available in Shirdi. The simple and pious devotees showed his eyes to Baba. Immediately, Baba got the marking-nut ‘beeba’ pounded and made into balls. Under the circumstances some may have put surma (powdered pearl); some may have put wet pieces of cloth dipped in cow’s milk; others may have kept cool camphor cakes on the eyes or some would have used collyrium. But, Baba’s remedy was absolutely different. He picked up each ‘beeba’ ball in his own hands and pressed as much as possible one in each eye and then tied a cloth around them. The next day, the cloth tied around the eyes was removed and the eyes were washed with cold water poured in a steady stream. All the swelling had disappeared and the pupils were clear. Although a delicate organ like the eye was treated by ‘beeba’, there was no burning and the disease was cured. Such are the countless experiences.

When I remember the day of 22nd January 1987, I afflict with fear. If Baba did not favour, I would have to live in the darkened world.
As usual I was busy with the typing-work. My eyes were turning from the script to the paper on the typewriter..... and within few minutes my right eye started paining. I thought insertion of some minor foreign body in the eye and neglected. But, as the time passed on, the pain increased. Due to this pain, I lost my concentration and attention. Two more days passed. The pain increased day by day. I felt the seriousness and thought to consult the doctor. Thus, I visited the doctor on 25th January. Doctor gave me tablets and medicament, which proved useless. Not the less from that day, I was more harassed by constant headache and frequent vomiting. I rushed to the doctor. “The pains may continue for eight days and then you will feel better,” the doctor assured me. I felt that everything would be all right as the doctor told, and returned home. From 26th January onward my ill-fate started. On that day I lost the sight of my right eye. On very next day, the sight of the left eye also became less. Subsequently I ran to the doctor. He then felt something serious. He advised me to go to Pune and consult the doctor in Ruby Hall Clinic or Sasoon. On 28th, I went to Sasoon. The doctors there asked me the history. I explained in detail. Various tests were done and injections and tablets were tried. The eye specialist examined me thoroughly. My friend Dr. Avinash Nagpure (He was studying M.B.B.S. last year) advised me to bear the trouble. At that time he was the only support for me. “It is improbable to regain the sight in such cases,” the doctor whispered. I heard his words and lost my all the inner strength. I was terribly frightened, seeing blind future with my blind eyes. At the same time I heard the doctor saying, “By the mercy of God the sight may be regained”. It gave me light of hope. I have faith in Baba, Baba’s teaching of ‘Shraddha’ and ‘Saburi’. I regained the strength with this thought.
Specially to note, when I started for Pune on 28th morning, went to Baba’s Samadhi temple and prayed Baba, “I am going to Pune with my half eye instead of two..... Please bring me here with both the eyes or finish my life there only”. Praying like this I started applying Udi to the eyes everyday. At that time my father, mother, brothers, sisters, Dr. Nagpure, Mr. Ratilalji Lodha, Mr. Sadashiv Gorade and Mr. Kailas Gaikwad gave me the courage. I am grateful to them.
From the first Thursday of February I could see little with my left eye. My mind and eyes flourished like a flower. There was progress in the sight and my happiness had no bounds. Next Thursday I could see clearly with my both eyes. I could see my beloveds and every happening around me ! I could see every thing. My sight reburied !
I was discharged after 15 days and was told to have check-up every fortnight. I returned Shirdi with satisfaction. Baba listened my prayer. My eyes were full of tears and the joy. I washed Baba’s ‘Charan’ with my tears. After 15 days eyes were clear. I successfully came out of bad dream.
Mean while there was a Charitable Eye Camp at Shri Sainath Hospital, Shirdi. Foreign eye specialist had come to attend the patients. I got my eyes checked by them. I told them detail history. Showed them all papers. They listened me and saw the record. They told me, “We will give you more effective medicine. Try it every day and you will never suffer”. I was very happy and enquired about medicine. They told me “APPLY BABA’S UDI TO YOUR EYES EVERY DAY..... YOU GOT CURED BY THE BLESSINGS OF SADGURU SHRI SAI BABA”.
