Devotee Peethambar story

Story From Sri Gajanan Leelamrutam :: Devotee name Peethambar, he is totally surrender to Sri Gajanan Swami he did not care about money or the clothes he wear or anything...
Totally devoted his life in doing Guru seva. One day Gajanan Maharaj looks at Peethambar and he says....Peethambar why are you wearing those clothes with holes in it.....If you do not have any clothes you better take my Shalva and cover your body but do not wear those clothes. Swami will bless him with his Shalva.  Then all the members who were there with swami will start saying so many things to Peethambar :: He is just acting to prove that he is a very good devotee.....&& If he doesn't have proper clothes then he must be asking one of us for some help but this is not correct taking swami Shalva. Even if swami gives his Shalva how dare he is to accept it right away ?? That is not correct.....So many things they said to Peethambar..... what ever they could say..... But......
Peethambar said:: No matter what ever you think that is not correct . I did not pretend before swami...The fact is
 i just accepted what swami blessed me with & He is my mother, Father and everything to me && i never expected anything except swami seva.

Gajanan Swami was listening to all the members words and the way Peethambar answered. Then swami calls Peethambar and he says :: Peethambar try to leave this ashramam and teach most of the members about the devotion and help them to get into Spiritual path. You do not need to worry about my physical presence. Gajanan Maharaj will keep his hand on Peethambar & swami will bless him by Saying:: I am always going to be with you where ever you are. Then peethambar had to obey swami words and he will leave the ashramam and he will reach Kandoli.
In kandoli.... Peethambar will help so many members to get into spiritual path with his devotional songs and doing bhajans & Satsangs.

Moral of the story is :: భగవంతున్ని నమ్మిన వాడు ఎప్పటికి చెడిపొడు. తనకు తాను పూజలు, వ్రతాలు చెసుకుంటూ తరించడమె కాకుండా తెలియని వారికి భక్తి గురించి చెప్పి వారిని కుడా భక్తి మార్గంలొకి వథ్చెలా సహాయపడడం ముఖ్యం. Devotion is very important......Its good to focus our attention upon our Guru and Guruseva rather than worrying about other members opinions.....Once we start devoting all our attention towards our Guru and Guruseva remaining things he
(Our Guru) will only take care.  We do not needed to do anything. He will do everything on behalf of us.
Even in my life Since my Child-hood .... there are certain people who always teased me for No-Reason. But I never diverted my thoughts just because they teased me. I feel that's not easy though...But when we have God's / Guru's grace then he will only give strength according to the time and need in our lives.

Om Sri Sai Ram Gurudeva Datta.
