In Audumber, he stayed in the dharmashala34, of Shri Bapat, along with his wife Aaisaheb. Though Shree Beedkar Maharaj had attained self-realization, his garb did not indicate him being a saint. Since he was accompanied by his wife Aaisaheb, people were unable to know his true identity and on the contrary they used to ridicule him.. But the temple worshipper got visionary insight about him and through this worshipper, people came to know about the greatness of, Shree Beedkar Maharaj.
Even then people who had gained half the spiritual knowledge, used to come there, to test Shree Beedkar Maharaj. Since Shree Beedkar Maharaj was already having intuitive knowledge, he used to already know about the real motive of the people coming there, and used to expose them openly.
In Audumber, there was a person called Pangale Shastri, who used to perform various religious ceremonials to obtain Siddhis33. When he met Shree Beedkar Maharaj, he was pulled up by Shree Beedkar Maharaj who advised Shastriji “In a holy place like this, by muttering sacred hymns and obtaining a mean type of siddhi, for the benefit of monetary gains, for gratification of the senses and for the establishment of greatness, was a sure way to hell and ultimately, you would writhe with pain due to worms in your mouth”. This piercing advice of Shree Beedkar Maharaj, sorely affected Shri Shastriji. But he did not change his principles. He became a very rich man on the strength of his siddhi. But within a few days he became sick, due to indigestion and he really experienced the writhing of worms in his mouth. Ultimately, he again went to Shree Beedkar Maharaj and totally surrendered to him.
After staying in Audumber for two months, Shree Beedkar Maharaj proceeded to the holy place-Narsobawadi. From there he then proceeded to holy places, Ambabai (Kolhapur Dist.), and Jyotiba, nearby. At Jyotiba, Lord Jyotiba (Lord Shiva) personally appeared before Aaisaheb, the wife of Shree Beedkar Maharaj. Further as per the request of Shri Khatyal, the temple worshipper of Lord Jyotiba, Shree Beedkar Maharaj gave him spiritual advice and showed him the path of virtue.
