I
asked the Shirdi people - "What was this that Baba
did?" They replied that as the Cholera Epidemic was
spreading in the village and this was Baba's remedy against the
same; it was not wheat that was ground but the Cholera itself
was ground to pieces and pushed out of the village. From this
time onward, the Cholera Epidemic subsided and the people of the
village were happy. I was much pleased to know all this; but at
the same time my curiosity was also aroused. I began to ask
myself - What earthly connection was there between wheat flour
and Cholera? What was the casual relation between the two? and
how to reconcile them? The incident seems to be inexplicable. I
should write something on this and sing to my heart's content
Baba's sweet Leelas. Thinking in this way about this Leela, my
heart was filled with joy and I was thus inspired to write
Baba's Life - The Satcharita.
And as we know, with Baba's grace and blessing this work was
successfully accomplished.
