At another time, when Narsi Mehta and his brother were very hungry while they were traveling, the Lord appeared in the form of a shepherd boy, took them to a cottage and offered them food. A little later when his brother returned to take a vessel he had left there, he found neither the cottage nor the shepherd boy anywhere. Once while performing the Shraddha ceremony of his father, Sant Narsi Mehta was sent to fetch some ghee from the marker. On the way he saw a group of devotees doing sankirtan(God Prayers). He forgot everything about the ghee and began singing the praises of the Lord. As his wife was eagerly awaiting his return so she could feed the priests, Lord Krishna Himself came in the guise of Sant Narsi Mehta with ghee in hand.

These small compositions stir the souls of many a devotees to this day. The life and compositions of this great Bhakta never fail to inspire us.
