Effect of ash
A relative of Ahmedabad-based Narandas Seth was suffering from TB disease. Many specialist doctors were consulted. Thousands of rupees were also spent and as they were leaving hope, at the request of Shri Bhikhabhai, Narandas went to Ujjain to tell about this fact, brought ash and fed it to the patient. Consuming the ash completely eliminated the TB disease in his bones. That ash has cured many of the incurable diseases, I do not give a detailed description of. But by asking any of his devotees, they will be able to bear witness to this fact.
About two-three incidents
Once Shri SandhyaPuriji, along with this author and some devotees, went to the temple of Mahakal after midnight. The priest of Mahakal, who always used to come to Shri Guru Datta Akhada, was present there. But he could not identify him. The priest came the next morning to the Akhada and told the Mahatma that some saint of great penance came to the temple after midnight for darshan. He wore a black cloak. At that time, MaharajShri only said that this is a big city, and some sadhu may have come! The devotees who had gone with him were present there and were astonished.
One day, early in the evening, he took bath, went to the seat and slept on it. No one understood the reason. Later, it was learned that his great devotee, Shri Bhikhabhai, had left his body that day.
Once upon a time, this writer was going to Surat for personal court case. On Surat station, while alighting from the train, he fell on the rails but he escaped with just a sprain, and in that condition, he returned to Mumbai. At that time, Shri Narayandas from Amdavad reached MaharajShri in Ujjain from Itarsi. He wanted to go to Amdavad. But the MaharajShri ordered him to go to Shri Nanubhai in Mumbai. Thus he sent Shri Narandas to this author who had no other person to help him at that time.
Similarly, he had once commanded his cousin Shri Manibhai, who did not obey. Once in November-December, when Shri Manibhai went to Ujjain, Mahatma told him that he should go straight to his village or to Mumbai without going for any other work. He was also moderately ill. But he could not resist the temptation to inaugurate his shop in Burhanpur, and left Ujjain to go there instead of going to Bhadeli or Mumbai. Mahatma had told him clearly that he should go straight to his home. Not obeying, he left Ujjain, and on their way, on Khandwa station, he had a heart failure and left his body there itself at the station.
