The maize crop at Omkar Singh's big farm in Baharaich had just been
harvested and was lying on the threshing floor. Suddenly the sky became
overcast and it started drizzling. Omkar Singh became restless, for he
had no means of saving that huge crop. If the rain continued, he knew
that the whole crop, worth thousands of rupees, would be ruined.
Whenever there were crucial moments in his life or things were beyond
his control, he always remembered Baba. It had been his experience that
wherever Baba might be, he would save him. So when it started raining
heavily, he remembered Baba in his distress, however, when he did not
see any change in the weather, he lost patience and became
disheartened. Then he became angry and said, "Go, take everything." It
immediately stopped raining around Singh's threshing floor but
continued to rain heavily in the village.
A long time after this incident, Kehar Singh ji reminded Baba of this lila
and said, "You saved Omkar Singh's crop from destruction." Like a
child, Baba very humbly said, "What could I do? He had
lost his self control and in anger he was shouting, 'Go take
everything.'"
