126. The crop in Narsappa's field

|| Shri Swami Samarth ||

Once, Narsappa Sutar was on his way to his jowar field when he saw Maharaj seated in a shop along the way. He supplicated before Shri, "Maharaj! There is an excellent crop this year in my field. Please come and have a taste!"

On hearing these words Samarth said, "Motherfucker. When had you sown the crop? And who owns the field?"

Sutar understood his mistake and humbly said, "I was mistaken, Maharaj. It is Your field. Please come and have a taste of the crop!"

Then Maharaj, accompanied by His attendants went to the field.  Narsapa had arranged for sugarcane to be brought to the field. After eating the sugarcane, Maharaj stuck the remaining cane into the ground. Narsappa thought that this was an instruction from Maharaj to plant sugarcane and he did just that. 

With the blessings of Shri Swami Samarth, he had a great crop yield and he earned twenty times what he normally would.

Will there ever be anything lacking for one who has received Shri Swami Samarth's grace!?

Maharaj would stay at Sutar's place for some days and Sutar would have to forego having to go to the field. Once, when Shri had stayed at Sutar's home for eight days, in his heart, Narsappa felt that he would suffer losses if he left the field unattended. 

Maharaj knows what is going on in everyone's heart and the next morning, at around four in the morning, He got up to leave. Narsappa prayed for Him to stay but Maharaj said, "Me staying here is an inconvenience to you. Hence, I am going."

Narsappa slapped himself to repent and placed his head on Maharaj's feet but Maharaj had already decided and did not go back to Sutar's home that time.
