Babasaheb Jadhav was a government employee who was childless. When his wife passed on, he sought permission from Shri to remarry. As he did not get permission, he did not remarry.
He offered all his wealth at the lotus feet of Maharaj and adorned only a loin cloth. He continued to receive a monthly pension of ten rupees which was sufficient for his sustenance.
Once Shri Swami Samarth was in the lakadkhana which was near the sarkarvada. It was noon and Maharaj said to Babasaheb, "Kumbhar, there is a letter with your name on it." Maharaj used to address him as Kumbhar.
As soon as he heard what Maharaj had said, fear gripped him and he saw the ferocious kaal-purusha standing before him.
He composed himself and tightly held on to Shri's lotus feet and prayed, "Maharaj, I do not have any material desires anymore. However, I still want to serve you to my heart's content. Samarth should show his grace and not send me away for now!"
Shri was moved by these words of prayer and he returned the letter.
There was a large bull standing nearby.
"Go to the bull!", commanded Maharaj and the bull immediately fell to the ground dead.
Babasaheb was happy that his life was spared for the moment.
