Baba,
the Heavenly Father in human form descended to Shirdi to protect
the weak and the poor. He lit the Lamp of Wisdom to dispel the darkness
of ignorance. Baba was fond of lights. Every evening He used to
illumine every corner of Dwarakamayi by keeping lighted lamps in
rows. He used to procure necessary oil to light the lamps from the
local traders. One day the traders lied to Baba that there was no
stock of oil. But Baba did not felt annoyed with them. He smiled
and returned to the mosque with an empty oil can.
Curious as they were, the traders followed Baba to see how He would lit the lamps without oil. Baba poured water into the oil can with a couple of oil drops in it, shook it, drank the water, spit into the oil can and poured the water into the earthen lamps and lit them. Wonder of the wonders, the lamps burnt luminously throughout the night to the utter amazement of the traders who were awe-struck. Baba gently exhorted them, 'If you are unwilling to give, do not give. But do not tell a lie. You could as well say 'No'. Ashamed, the traders prostrated before Baba and sought His forgiveness. The lights of wisdom were lit by Baba in their hearts. In that celestial light, the people of Shirdi sensed Baba's Divinity. Baba is an embodiment of love. Is not He? They were all forgiven and embraced by the Merciful Baba.
