When reading Satcharitra my mind was wandering else where and I was finding it difficult to concentrate. At that hourly time I read about a story from the Satcharitra which goes like this…
Rohila’s Story:- The story of the Rohila illustrates Sai Baba’s all embracing love. One Rohila, tall and well-built, strong as a bull, came to Shiridi, wearing a long Kafni (robe) and was enamored of the Sai, who stayed there. Day and Night, he used to recite, in a loud and harsh tone the Kalma (verses of Holy quran) and shout” ALLAH HO AKBAR’ (GOD IS GREAT). Most people of Shiridi were working in their fields during the day and when they returned to their homes at night, they were welcomed with the Rohila’s harsh cries and shouts. They could get no sleep and felt much trouble and inconvenience. They suffered this nuisance for some days in silence, and when they could stand it no longer, they approached Baba and requested Him to check the Rohila and stop the nuisance. Baba did not attend to their complaint. On the contrary, Baba took the villagers to task and asked them to mind their own business. He said to them that the Rohila had got a very bad wife, who tried to trouble the Rohila and Himself; but hearing the Rohila’s prayers, she dare not enter and they were at peace. In fact, the Rohila had no wife and by his wife Baba meant Durbuddhi, Ie evil thoughts. As Baba liked prayers and cries to God better than anything else, He took the side of the Rohila, and asked the villagers to wait and bear with the nuisance, which would abate in due course.
This is how Baba made me to concentrate again. I started reading aloud and I was again brought back to the concentration on the book
The greatness of Baba has not boundaries……
