Once at evening time there was a terrible storm at Shirdi.The sky was overcast with thick clouds. The winds began to blow with the great force, the clouds roared and the lightening began to flash and the rains started pouring in torrents.
In a short the whole place was flooded with water. The terrible storm frightened all the living creatures. The birds left their homes…The animals left their sheds, the people were very scared to see a huge terrible storm.
So all of them flocked to the masjid to seek Baba’s shelter. There are many local babas in Shirdi but none of them came for their rescue. So they all prayed to Baba – their only savior who was fond of their devotion, to intercede and quell the storm. As they all sought for protection from Baba, He was very moved.
Baba came out and standing at the edged of the masjid, addressed the storm in a loud and a thunderous voice,” Stop, Stop You Fury and Be Calm !
In a few minutes, the rain subsided, the winds ceased to blow and the storm came to a stop. Then the moon rise in the sky and people went back home well pleased.
Moral
In happiness or Distress one should always seek the shelter of Guru.
