Shankar Prasad Vyas came to know that a man was given five rupees with
instructions from Maharaj to buy a lottery ticket in his wife's name.
They won five lakh (500,000) rupees. After
hearing this, Vyas
desired to receive that same grace from Baba. He had to go to various
places expounding scriptures and thought if he received money without
any effort, all his problems would be solved. When Vyas got an
opportunity, he asked Baba for a lottery ticket. Though Baba heard him,
he did not give any reply.
That night while Vyas was asleep, he
saw Hanuman ji in a dream. Hanuman ji struck Vyas on his back with his
fist. It hurt so much that Vyas cried out and woke up. He still felt
the pain. Just then Baba came in his room and massaged his back with
his own hands. At Baba's touch, he recovered at once. Baba then asked
him to sleep and went away. The next day, when Vyas met Baba in the
morning, Baba asked him, "Do you want five lakh
rupees or devotion to Hanuman? You get problems with money and not
devotion. Hanuman ji taught you this lesson last night."
Vyas' desire for money vanished.
