What happened to Haribhau Karnik in Nashik, and how does it relate to his visit to Shirdi?

πŸ“– Chapter 33

The story of Haribhau Karnik illustrates how Sai Baba ensures a devotee's heartfelt intentions are fulfilled, even if the devotee hesitates. According to Chapter 33, after visiting Shirdi for Guru Purnima, Karnik had a fleeting thought to go back and offer Baba one more Rupee but decided against it and left. Later, while visiting the Kala Rama temple in Nashik, he unexpectedly encountered the saint Narsing Maharaj. Maharaj suddenly got up, held Karnik's wrist, and demanded, 'Give my Rupee.' Karnik was astonished and gladly gave the Rupee, feeling as if Sai himself was accepting it. This incident shows that Sai, being omniscient, knew of Karnik's initial desire and arranged for it to be fulfilled through another saint, reinforcing the principle that one should hold onto their initial good inclinations.
