|| Shri Swami Samarth ||
There was a blind Brahmin by the name of Pandit who had been to the Jagannath Yatra. He had heard of the miracles where Shri Swami Samarth had freed people from their diseases.
When the arrived at Akkalkot, he offered his obeisances to Maharaj and then with folded palms prayed, "Maharaj! I have come here on hearing your glories."
"You are Dattatreya Himself. You are able to destroy and recreate universes."
"I pray to you to grant me eyesight so that I may be graced by Your darshan, else, I shall end my life at Your lotus feet. This is my only desire."
He then washed Shri Swami Samarth's lotus feet.
Shri felt great compassion for him and removed the flower garland that He was wearing and placed it around Pandit's neck.
Pandit, elated at having received Shri Samarth's prasad, touched the flowers to his eyes. Lo and behold! His eyesight was restored. He could now see the beautiful form of Shri Swami Samarth with his own eyes. Swami was now standing, hands on His waist.
Pandit, with tears of joy in his eyes, held onto Shri's feet and glorified him. He said, "I was blind from birth but now through Your grace, I can see. Allow me to serve You!"
Then after serving Maharaj for some days with utmost love and devotion, he took Maharaj's permission and returned home.
