A Doctor and Sai Baba

Once a Mamlatdar came to Shirdi with his friend who was a doctor. The Doctor said that his Deity was Rama and that so he would not bow before a Moslem. Hence he was unwilling to go to Shirdi. 

However the Mamlatdar was adamant in taking his friend with him. He said that nobody would press him to make a bow, nor would anyone ask him to do so! So he should come with him and give him company. 

The friend agreed and both of them came to Shirdi and went to the Masjid for Baba's darshan. But all were surprised when the Doctor friend went ahead and saluted Baba!

 On being questioned about his bow, the Doctor replied that he saw his beloved Deity, Rama, on the seat and he therefore prostrated himself before Him!

Then as he was saying this, he saw Sai Baba there again. Being thus dismayed, he said that was it a dream or reality! And how could Sai Baba be a Mahomedan! He is a great Yogasampanna (full of Yoga) Avatar!

Next day, he made a vow and began to fast. He didnot come to the Masjid, resolving not to go there, until Baba blessed him!

Three days thus passed and on the fourth day, a close friend of his from Khandesh, came and with him, he went to the Masjid for Baba's darshan. 

After the salutation, Baba asked him, whether anybody had gone to call him, so that he had come. Hearing this vital question, the doctor became emotional. 

The same night he was blessed by Baba, and he experienced the Supreme Bliss, in his sleep. 

Then he left for his town, where again he experienced the same state for a fortnight. Thus his devotion to Sai Baba increased manifold!
