If you sow the bitter seed the result must be bitter

“I went to Sai Baba about 1913 or 1914. I was in trouble and I went to get his ashirwad (i.e.) blessings to get rid of the trouble.

When I approached him, he asked for dakshina and I gave it. He said to me of his own accord ‘sow margosa and afterwards cut off that tree’.*

I could not make head or tail of this utterance. It was evidently not the ashirvad I went to him for. I was disappointed and I never went to him again, though at about that time, I lived with Mr. H.S. Dixit (who was a staunch devotee of Sai Baba) for three years.”

*There was a bribery case in the Criminal Court against him for having taken bribes and he was convicted and sentenced to a term of imprisonment with a heavy fine.

This was confirmed on appeal. It was, pending the appeal, that he (B. Laghate) went to Baba to get his blessings for success.

Margosa sowing and margosa reaping was Baba’s parable about the law of Karma.

If you sow the bitter seed the result must be bitter and of the same sort.

Therefore, it is better for man fully to pay the price or penalty of one’s folly, wash off one’s karmic debt and profit in the future from the lesson of the past.
