Chamatkar

Shirdi baba and Chamatkars are synonyms.  Think of him, chamatkars  happen. Whenever I take his name, he used to appear. You may be imaging that appearance in dreams. One form of appearance may be in dreams but what I experienced is onTV. After taking his name before going to bed, I got up in the morning to notice his aarati while I was scrolling channels by chance. Another time was quite accidental. we were going in a car and did his namsmaran. We saw his picture painted on the  back of a tempo before us. I liked his chamtkars and always like to have more; not to test him but to feel his presence and as an assurance that he is with me always. I was travelling with my brother-in-law . During conversation baba name was taken to see his temple few furlongs away. I always wonder his presence in a temple or picture  made us to take his name or our namasmaran made him appear. You won't the way he will appear but are certain of his appearance assuring us his presence.  He is shakti and you can feel it everywhere. Upanishads say

It is imperceptible, for It is never perceived; undecaying, for It never decays; unattached, for It is never attached; unfettered, for It never feels pain and never suffers injury

How do you experience such a consciousness? Shirdi Raja gives us the experience of atman  without the route of meditation or intellectual insights of philosopy to educated or illiterate (which is described as neti, neti). Let us take his name and feel his presence everywhere
