Nana Sohoni Solapurkar sought to be employed in the service of the Akkalkot Sansthan and had met many people in this regard. Sohoni was a smart man.
Maloji Raje, pleased with Sohoni, appointed him as the Sansthan's legal representative at the political agents' office at Solapur and handed him this appointment letter duly stamped with the royal seal. He was given instructions to hand the appointment letter to the political agent.
Before he left for Solapur, Sohoni went to take Darshan of Swami Maharaj and after having received Darshan, placed the appointment letter at His feet. Sohoni was desirous that Shri Samarth hand him the letter thus blessing him in the new posting.
However, the all-knowing Maharaj picked up the appointment letter and instead of handing it over to Sohoni, gave it to someone else.
Sohoni was disappointed and took the appointment letter and went to Solapur. The letter had the king's seal giving Sohoni the authority to perform his duty, but it did not have Shri Maharaj's seal of approval and His blessings. Of what use was such an appointment letter?
After handing over the letter to the political office, Sohoni was told that there was no need for a legal representative to be deputed to the political office and that all matters could be managed over correspondence. He was asked to return to Akkalkot.
It was then that Sohoni realized what Maharaj had meant but not handing him the letter.
