A Short Biography of Shree Swami Samarth 138 _________________________________________________________________________________________ In the normal row for all the Brahmins, a leaf-plate readied for Sri Swamiji, but Sri Swamiji started uttering abuses and said, “I have become corrupted. Do not touch me. I shall not take food”. He became very angry, went out of that place, and sat on a large heap of garbage. In this way Sri Swamiji displayed strong opposition to observing untouchability and to the injustice meted out towards Gopalbua Kelkar. That day Sri Swamiji did not take any food. Next day those people allowed Gopalbua to take food along with others in the same row, only then Sri Swamiji cooled down. The particular person, who had prevented Gopalbua Kelkar from taking food in the same row as that of others, lost his mental balance due to misfortune. Earthen Worship A Brahmin was carrying out earthen idol worship. Even while sitting in front of Sri Swamiji, he would be busy carrying out idol worship. One day Sri Swamiji spoke to him “Oh! How long would you be spoiling that earth? ”. Hearing these words of Sri Swamiji, he gave up idol worship. As per the words of Sri Swamiji, Guru-Pooja 232 is superior as compared to idol worship. 232 Guru Pooja: Worship of spiritual Instructor as an embodiment of God Copyright © 2006 Shree Vitthalrao Joshi Charities Trust
A Short Biography of Shree Swami Samarth 139 _________________________________________________________________________________________ Mischievous People Brought Under Control There is no shortage of wicked people who unnecessarily harass, and criticize Saints, Virtuous people, Sages, good people, and the one born as an incarnation of a deity. Sri Swami Samarth Maharaj also had come in contact with such wicked people and he controlled them in his own way. Sri Swamiji eliminated their wickedness and blessed them with devotion. Ahmad Ali Khan Risaldar Sri Swami Maharaj dodged servants of Chintopant Tol and reached Akkalkot. There he set up his temporary abode at the city gate. For two to four days no one paid any attention towards him. Ahmad Ali Khan Risaldar, the in-charge of the police station of that area noticed him. He took Sri Swamiji as a crazy person. Some people always enjoy making fun of others. Khan also wanted to make fun of Sri Swamiji and so he put a burning charcoal in to an empty smoking pipe and asked Sri Swamiji “Babaji, would you like to smoke this pipe? ”. Sri Swamiji took the smoking pipe in his hand and took a deep puff. To Khans great disbelief thick smoke started coming out of it. Seeing this miracle, Khan was astounded. Realising that Sri Swamiji is a great sage; he repented and prayed for forgiveness. Then he made the necessary arrangements for Sri Swamiji’s stay in Cholappa’s house. Khan became a devotee of Sri Swamiji. Miserable Plight Of Puranik In spite of being a great ascetic Sri Swami Maharaj never behaved like an ascetic. Being an incarnation of Lord Dattatrey Himself, Sri Swamiji was beyond the rules and regulations of ascetism, but very few people were aware of this fact. Therefore some people would secretly comment and pass critical remarks, in bad taste, about Sri Swamiji amongst themselves. There were a number of mischievous persons like this. Puranik, the brother-in-law of Baba Subnis was one amongst them. Once, Puranik passed critical remarks saying “Sri Swamiji being an ascetic, why should he require a mattress to sleep and sit?”. Sri Swamiji didn’t give any reply immediately. A few days later, one fine evening Sri Swamiji was climbing a hill in Kadav village. Puranik was also with Sri Swamiji. It was a winter night. It was dark everywhere. Sri Swamiji climbed the hill and slept on a black rock very comfortably. Puranik was shivering in the cold. He made a request to Sri Swamiji “Maharaj I am shivering with cold. What shall I do? ”. Sri Swamiji replied, “How is a soft mattress? ”. Hearing this, Puranik repented for the critical remarks he had passed against Sri Swamiji. He then prayed to Sri Swamiji for forgiveness. Thereafter he became a devotee of Sri Swamiji instead of just a criticizer. Copyright © 2006 Shree Vitthalrao Joshi Charities Trust
