Baba's Charity of Feeding the Hungry

Baba's Charity of Feeding the Hungry

 Whenever Baba wanted to serve food to others, He himself used to arrange for everything from the beginning to the end. He would lit fire in the open space before the Masjid and prepare food. He had two vessels. The bigger one was meant for cooking food for a hundred, while the small vessel was sufficient for fifty persons. Sometimes Baba would cook sweet rice. At times, He would cook mutton biryani. While preparing soup, He would drop flat bread of wheat flour into it. He would grind all spicy items well before adding them to food. He would make every effort to cook and make the food tastier.

Sometimes, Baba would cook porridge. He would not hesitate to dip His hand into the boiling cauldron to test whether it was properly cooked or not. There would be no sign of fear in His face or scars of any burns on His hand. As soon as the food was cooked, Baba would bring it into the Masjid and ask the moulvi to offer it to God. Only after sending some sanctified food to Tatya and Mhalspathy, He would distribute the rest to the satisfaction of the poor and hungry. Baba gets immense pleasure in feeding His children. Those who were fed with the food cooked and served by Baba's hand were indeed virtuous and fortunate souls. Let us cherish in our memory Baba's charity of feeding the hungry and the poor and emulate Baba.
