Saibaba,Yoga and Onion
Once it so happened, a sadhak of yoga came to Shirdi with Nanasaheb Chandorkar. He had studied all the works on yoga, including the yoga-sutras of Patanjali, but had no practical experience. He could not concentrate nor attain samadhi for even a short time. He thought if Sai Baba were pleased with him, He would show him the way to attain samadhi for a sustained time. With this thought in mind, he came to Shirdi.
When he went to the masjid and saw Sai Baba eating bread with onion, a thought arose in his mind, “How can this man, who is eating stale bread with raw onion, solve my difficulties and help me?” Sai Baba read his mind and said to Nanasaheb, “Oh Nana, he who has the power to digest onion should eat it, and none else.” Hearing this remark, the yogi was wonder struck and fell at SaiBaba’s feet in complete surrender. With pure and open mind, he mentioned his difficulties to SaiBaba who then gave him their solution. Thus, being satisfied and happy, he left Shirdi with SaiBaba’s udi and blessings.
