In plain words
Which bread? Jowar bread. With it, what Bābā liked best was brinjal. He would go to Lakṣmībāi to learn how to make it. In this way he went on doing service. The joy he found in this service was known to him alone and to no one else.
Bābā had no anger, but He would show it. When anger came, He would stand ten feet away, take … kallanu and throw them at them. One day Śyām questioned Him again. Swami! ‘You strike them with such anger; if some harm came to them and a life were lost, You would earn a very bad name, would You not?’ he asked. Arē! Saitān. Baiḷlō, that life stays in My hand. Only if I send it does his life go. So I see to it that it does not go; you do your work,’ He said. Why should you grieve over this? Only when I show a scene of this kind does such a one come to his right state. If you go about it gently and nicely, they will sit on My head. That is why they must be frightened and scolded to some extent, with words and with sentences, and made to work. ‘It is for the sake of the work that I do so much; I have no anger’: so He told the secret within to Śyām alone. So Bābā's doings are nothing but the principle of Prema itself. In this way He kept Śyām ever near Him, had him do services for Him, and so passed His time. After some days had passed He called Pradhān and told him to build a small …. That is Bābā's samādhi; Pradhān himself was the one who first built it.
1918 came. At that time Pradhān's wife was living in her own village. It seemed to her, kaṃlō, that Bābā had died. Pradhān was staying in Shirdi. She got up and sat weeping with her children: ‘I had a dream that Bābā had died.’ At once a voice came from her own house. Do not use the word that Bābā has died. He told her to use the words that Bābā is in samādhi. Samādhi means one who is possessed of an equal mind. Life and death, both are the same. Joy and sorrow, both are the same. Gain and loss, both are the same. ‘For Bābā there is no such thing as death,’ the voice said. While they were still searching for where the voice was, where it came from, a devotee sent a letter. That Bābā had left the body. That day falls tomorrow. Vijayadaśamī. 28 September is the birthday. Vijayadaśamī is the day He left the body. But this year it has fallen on 29 September itself; the full daśamī did not come in this …. The full one came in October. So, through the shifting of the calendar, the tithi of Bābā's birth …; when and where Bābā was born, no one knows. Something of the secret of His birth must be recognised.
