              Poverty
 
 The economic condition of  Mavji Mistry, a mason of Rajkot, was very poor. He came to Junagadh  and prayed to Swami. Swami, out of grace, asked him to purchase some grams and  parched rice. Outside the mandir he met his Muslim friend, Musabhai, who gave  him one more ana and told him to give him some of the prasad that Swami would give to  him. Mavjibhai went to the market, bought the grams and parched rice for two anas and offered them to Swami. Swami  offered it to Thakorji and then took just two grains from it. The all-knowing Swami distributed some prasad among the sadhus and gave the rest to  Mavji, telling him to share it with  Musabhai. Besides this, Swami gave him blessings to go to Karachi and start a contract business.Mavji was puzzled and informed, “I don’t know anybody there.”
 Swami replied, “You  know me!”
 Mavjibhai felt  encouraged, but he had no fare to reach Karachi. Swami was  omniscient and told him, “Your mother has buried Rs. 100 in an earthen pot  under the grinding wheel. Ask for it.”
 Swami then instructed Mavji to make Musabhai his partner in  the business. Swami was pleased even with the little service by Musabhai.
 Mavabhai reached Rajkot and asked for some  money from his mother. At first she flatly refused, “I do not have any money.”  But when Mavabhai told her about the order of Swami and pointed out the exact  place, she gave him the money.
 When Mavabhai  disembarked on the port at Karachi, by chance he met  an Englishman who gave him a big contract without any recommendation from  anyone. Mavabhai earned a handsome amount from this contract and gradually the  company of Mava-Musa achieved great success. In this way, as a result of  Swami’s blessings, Mavjibhai’s poverty vanished and he earned a fortune and  rendered a lot of services in Satsang.
