SAI 's QUOTE

        LEELA OF SAI 

                  Rao Saheb H.V. Sathe's father- in -law Kelkar had purchased for Shri Sathe a piece of land ,, as measuring 20 Acres ,in Shirdi , When Shri Sathe happened to come to Shirdi thereafter ,he purposed to Mr. Kelkar that the latter should accompany him and show him the said land . He also asked his wife to go with him to see that land and she consented to do so without consulting her father , Kelkar however didn't approve of the idea of accompanying Shrimp Sathe for the reason that he had in his house at the time a widow of Sathe's deceased brother and he feared that if she came to know of that purchase , She might demand a portion of the land as her share . 

       Kelkar therefore declined to accompany Shri Sathe ' so Sathe asked his wife to go with him but on the advice of her father she also now refused to do so. This irritated Shri Sathe so much the taking a whip from his coachman he was just on the point of starting whipping his wife , when Shri Baba's devotee Megha rushed in , bawling out , " Saheb , Saheb , you are wanted immediately by Shri Baba ; ' Shri Sathe throwing down the whip at once rushed to Baba ; when Baba asked Shri Sathe , well, well , what was happened ? " Sathe knew at once Baba had known all that had happened and that he was preparing to whip his wife ; so he shamefully hung down his head . Baba then said ," Why do you want to see the land ? It is there . Your going there would not change it a bit . " On hearing this Shri Sathe calmed down and returned home thanking Baba for saving him from the cruelty he was to perpetrate ; the wife also sincerely thanked Baba for saving her from being whipped .
