दीक्षित वाडे के निकट होटल-स्वामी; आम्बडेकर को अकलकोटकर महाराज की पुस्तक देने वाले

संदर्भ

सगुण नाइक अध्याय 26 के अनिवार्य-पात्र हैं: पुणे के गोपाल नारायण आम्बडेकर ने सात-वर्ष-दुर्भाग्य के पश्चात दीक्षित वाडे के सामने एक कुएँ में कूदकर आत्म-हत्या करने का संकल्प किया था। उसी क्षण होटल-स्वामी सगुण बाहर आये और उन्हें अकलकोटकर महाराज की एक पुस्तक थमायी — जिसका पन्ना ठीक उस कथा पर खुला जिसमें एक भक्त को इसी कर्म से बचाया गया था। आम्बडेकर के पिता अकलकोटकर भक्त थे; साईं बाबा का सगुण की पुस्तक के माध्यम से हस्तक्षेप ने वंश-जोड़ बना दिया।

नरसिंह स्वामी से शब्दशः उद्धरण (1940 का दशक)

ve Baba’s Udhi and Tirtha -which acted at once and resulted in his vomiting out all the poisonous stuff he has swallowed. After all this was over, Vasudev mentioned that he had given the Peppermint to his two year old younger brother. Evidently the latter ate but little, as there was no trouble. But to expel what little he might have swallowed, we administered our emetic, viz., Udhi and water with Baba’s name to him and he had a good vomit. A cashier in an office was in trouble last year about Rs.3,500 which was not accounted for. A friend advised him to go to me and he came.That cashier disliked Baba, as Baba was a ‘Mahomedan’ But when he came to me, I told him that his sole sanctuary was the Sai Man dir at Shirdi, and that he should go there and make a heartfelt apology and appeal for help. He went there, got a photo of Baba and with the help of Sagun Naik placed it at the samadhi, prayed there and came back with the photo. Things then began to brighten up. He was allowed eight days time to pay up the Rs.3,500. He went up, got money and paid it. The matter was closed. There was neither dismissal nor prosecution. Similar help was rendered by Baba in an other case, Mr.VC.
