Two Brahmins Came to see Baba

Two Brahmins Came to see Baba one day and Baba narrated an incident which he said happened to him. He spoke of his wandering on the seashore and his arrival at a rich brahmins's house where he was fed and shown a clean and nice place near the cupboard to sleep. When he was sound asleepa man pilled out a stone slab from the wall and took from Baba's pocket a bundle of currency noted. When Baba noticed the theft he was upset and began weeping. He thought the brahmin had stolen the money. He lost all interest in food and drink and stayed on the verandah of the house for 15 days. On the 15th day a passing fakir saw him crying and made enquires. Baba told him everything that had happened. The fakir told him of another fakir and asked him to seek relief from him. He would restore the property to him, the fakir told Baba. Baba followed his advice, met the fakir and got back his money. Again he went to the seashore and there was aship by which he had to travel. He got on board the help of a peon and thereafter he got into a train and came to Dwarkamayi.
As Baba was telling about his experience the two brahmins were wondering what he wanted to convey because they knew that Baba never left shirdi and had not seen the sea or seashore. Their puzzle was cleared when they realised that Baba had narrated was what they themselves had ecperienced and it was their story that Baba had described in such vivid detail and it was absolutely true in every respect
