Shrimant Malojiraje was a devotee of Shri Maharaj and every Guruvar (Thursday) would go to wherever Maharaj was to seek his darshan. He had been doing this for many weeks.
Once, he went for darshan in a royal fashion, seated on an elephant. On seeing Maharaj, he dismounted and went before Him to offer his obeisances.
When Malojiraje placed his head on Shri's feet, Maharaj responded with a hard slap across his face. The king lost his balance and his headdress fell off. He began shivering with fear and stood before Maharaj with palms folded. An attendant picked up the headdress and handed it to Malojiraje.
Maharaj angrily said to him, "You are a big man only in your home. Why act like a big man before Me!? Madarchod, I can create many kings."
"Please forgive me Maharaj", said the king remorsefully, and returned back to his place.
Henceforth, when the king went to seek darshan, he would park the palanquin, horse, or whatever mode of transport he was using, far away, and would walk to Maharaj for darshan. Such was the Ugra Tej of Shri Swami Samarth.
Muslims, Parsis, and even Europeans would seek His darshan. He would know what they desired and would fulfill their wishes. Maharaj had a special affection towards Muslims. He really liked dogs but anytime He saw a cat, he would call it a nimakharam and shoo it away. Maharaj had a great affection for cows. If he ever saw anyone chopping tree branches he would get very angry.
