"Ladies, have you gone mad? How dare you try to loot this flour? Do you think this is your father's property? I have not borrowed any wheat from you," Sai Baba said.

Having concluded thus, the four women then acted upon it. the four women though, "Baba had no house, no property, no children, none to look after, and He lived on alms, He did not require any wheat-flour for making bread or roti, what will He do with this big quantity of flour? Perhaps as Baba is very kind, He will distribute the flour amongst us." Soon a crowd of villagers gathered and among them were four women who finally gathered the courage to take the work from Baba's hands and began singing "Leelas" or paeans to his miraculous powers. A paean is a hymn of praise or thanksgiving for the greatness of God, any song of praise, regardless of the deity.īaba smiled a bit, impressed with the village folks' love and devotion. The devotee writes that he thought to himself that this is quite surprising as "What business Baba had with the grinding of wheat, when He possessed nothing and stored nothing, and as He lived on alms! He took some quantity of wheat in a winnowing fan, and then drawing up the sleeves of His Kafni (robe), and taking hold of the peg of the hand-mill, started grinding the wheat by putting a few handfuls of wheat in the upper opening of the mill and rotated it," says a chapter in the Sai Charitmanas. He spread a sack on the floor and thereon set a hand-mill. After washing His mouth and face, Sai Baba began to make preparations for grinding wheat. I was wonder-struck to see the following phenomenon. that I went, one fine morning, to the Masjid in Shirdi for getting a darshan of Sai Baba. He lived on alms and a very frugal existence at that. The devotees were shocked as it was quite unlike the revered saint to prepare flour for baking rotis. They were surprised to see that he has a winnowing fan and some wheat grains on it. One early morning, the devotees of Sai Baba arrived at the place he stayed - practising a spartan, minimalist existence.
