Do not try to get Mantra or Upadesh from anybody. Oh mother, My Guru never taught Me any Mantra, then how shall I blow any Mantra in your ears? Just remember that Guru's tortoise-like loving glance gives us happiness. He always protected Me by his glance, just as the tortoise feeds her young ones, whether they are near her or away from her on the other side of the river bank, by her loving looks. I lived with him, and was sometimes away from him still I never felt the want or absence of his love. He never neglected Me, but protected Me at all times. "My Guru never expected any other thing from Me. Nishtha (Faith) and Saburi (Patience) are like twin sisters, loving each other very intimately." Saburi is the mine of virtues, consort of good thought. Saburi is manliness in man, it removes all sins and afflictions, gets rid of calamities in various ways, and casts aside all fear, and ultimately gives you success. This Saburi will ferry you across the sea of this mundane existence. I waited patiently and very long on My Guru and served him. Saburi (Patience or perseverance) is the other pice. I had no other object to meditate, nor any other thing than My Guru to attend. Night and day, I gazed at him with no thought of hunger and thirst. When I looked at him, he seemed as if he was in deep meditation, and then we both were filled with Bliss.

He was full of love nay, he was love incarnate. There was no dearth of food and clothing. So take some mercy on her, bless her and instruct her." On seeing her determination, Baba sent for her, changed the turn of her mind by addressing her as follows:. If any thing worse happens, people will blame You, and say that Baba did not instruct her, and consequently she met her death. She is very obstinate and depends on You entirely, She has resolved to fast unto death, if You don't accept and instruct her.

I said, "Deva, what is this You have started? You drag so many persons here. I was frightened by this ordeal of the old woman, and interceded with Baba on her behalf. She stayed in her lodging and left off taking any food or water for three days. She determined to fast herself unto death, so long as Baba did not accept her, and give her any Upadesh or Mantra. She loved Baba intimately and resolved in her mind, that She should accept Baba as her Guru, and take some Upadesh from Him. She took Baba's darshan and was much satisfied. Hearing Baba's fame, she came to Shirdi with the people of Sangamner. There was an old woman by name Radhabai, She was the mother of one Khashaba Deshmukh.
