 Baba had
become one with every being in the world. Hence the
service of any creature ultimately reached Baba.
A lady
lived in Shirdi and would daily bake two breads- one for
Baba and another for herself. One day she was taking the
bread for Baba when a dog approached her, licking its
lips in hunger. Instantly, by some inner urge, she
offered the bread to the dog. She went back and started
again to take the other bread for Baba. Now a pig
approached her and she offered him that bread too. Then
she realized that she had nothing to give to Baba, she
felt intensely sorry and mentally asked Baba’s pardon.
Later, she went to Baba and sat down with folded hands.
Immediately Baba said, “Ma, today you offered me bread
twice so that was doubly satisfied.” The lady thought
Baba was taunting her for not giving him anything.
Remorsefully she cried, ”Baba today I had nothing left
with me. So what could I bring for you? Baba replied “Ma
you offered one bread to a dog and another to a pig.
They both reached me, because I am one with them.

 Once
a lizard, perch on a wall in the Dwarkamai, began
chirping vigorously. This considered to be an ill-omen.
So a devotee asked Baba what evil it portended. Baba
said, “ There is no evil portend in this. The lizard’s
sister will presently come here from Aurangabad to meet
her. So she is singing in joy.
”Everyone
thought that Baba was joking". As was his won't.
But very soon a bhakta arrived from Aurangabad
for Baba’s darshan. As he opened his sack, a lizard
jumped out. Straightaway she scaled the wall and
embraced her ‘sister’. Their gesticulations
definitely showed that they were overjoyed to meat each
other. How could Baba know all this before hand? All
were convinced that the two lizards were sisters.

A
darvesh had tamed a tiger that used to do certain tricks
and thus maintain himself and his master. As the tiger
grew old, he could no longer play tricks. Naturally, he
and his master both had to face starvation. Ultimately,
the tiger became mad and uncontrollable.
As he was
approaching his end, the darvesh brought him to Baba for
his last grace. Baba asked the darvesh to release the
animal whom at once became quiet. Approaching Baba he
prostrated himself at Baba ‘s feet and as Baba was
stroking his back, the tiger opened his jaw and breathed
his last. Baba said,”This was a great bhakta of
Lord Shiva. He has gone to Kailasa. Now bury his mortal
remains in front of Shiva.”
