In plain words
But a greater difficulty came in setting the girders up on top. It was the height of two storeys. It was 25 feet high. ‘How are these girders to be lifted 25 feet?’ Hanumantha Rao was very worried. ‘Don't you worry; that is My responsibility,’ I told him. They were staying at the old mandir, with tents put up. The girders were to be set up on top at 5 o'clock, in the small hours of the morning. I made a plan that they must go up with no one watching. I went. The 4 girders settled up on top exactly where they were to settle. Hanumantha Rao longed very much to see this. But I came at 6 o'clock and said, ‘Hanumantha Rao! Go and have a look, once.’ Hanumantha Rao and Rāmacandran went there and looked. How had the girders got up to such a height! They were amazed.
The same happened in Shirdi too. One day the Muslims came out to drive away the Hindus. All the Muslims hated Mahalsāpati. They beat Mahalsāpati. Bābā saw it. Bābā came, crying, ‘Abbā, abbā!’ Mahalsāpati did not cry ‘Abbā’; he did not cry ‘Ammā’. All those blows fell on Bābā. Weals rose on Bābā's back. He came out. ‘On one side you worship, and on the other you beat? Saying Allāh Mālik, is it Allāh Himself you are beating?’ He asked them in pain. They looked: blood was flowing. ‘We have done wrong; forgive us!’ they said. The Muslims were thinking of it as a mosque. ‘No, no, a hall must be built,’ Bābā decided. There was then a good rich man, Būṭī. Būṭī built a mandir. While it was being built, the rains poured down heavily. Bābā said, ‘I will not stay in the mosque; the mandir must be ready by the third day itself.’ Nobody knew what to do. The rains kept coming. On the second day the roof was on. At daybreak all the workers were astonished: ‘Who put it on, who put it on?’ ‘It was I, you fellows,’ said Bābā. ‘Swami, how did You put the roof on without labour?’ they said. ‘I Myself am the master, I Myself am the worker,’ He said. Then they understood. Būṭī too was there. In great wonder he thought, ‘Bābā is God Himself.’ The mind of man that takes Him for God one day and not God the next is a monkey mind. When these wonders happen, they say, ‘God, God.’
