The great Saint of
Maharashtra - Sant Eknath Maharaj
Pranams at the lotus feet
of Eknath Maharaj!
Chapter – 6
Once a few thieves
disguised as devotees and attended the Namasankeerthana, while leaving home
they took all the vessels and packed, they saw Sant Eknath was immersed in meditation in
the small shrine at home. Suddenly they
have lost eyesight, bumped on to each
other and fallen on the ground with a thud, soon Sant Eknath got out of meditation,
he realized that they are thieves, he
said “Why are you taking so much pain,
you should have told me, I would have given all those things you have
required. There are a few more things left
on the next room as well, go and collect them.”
The thieves in folded hands prayed “ Maharaj, we have made a mistake. We are not able to see anything, we don’t
want anything. Kindly bless us with
eye-sight.” Eknath Maharaj understood that Lord Panduranga imposed punishment
to save his devotee. His eyes were
soaked in mercy; he placed his hands on the eyes of the thieves, immediately
they have regained the eye-sight. Sant
Eknath said, “ You can take whatever you feel like.” The thieves fell at the
feet of Sant Eknath and said “We will not do that mistake again. Kindly forgive
us.”
