Bow to Thy Holy Feet our Sainath (May 1984)

 

BABA said to Megha "I carry on as a wirepuller of all the activities of the

men who trusts ME and merges in ME" (Sai Satcharita, cb: 2S p. 155). Yes,

our SAINATH is Antharyami. HE is all pervading, omniscient and omnipresent.

BABA said "My eye is ever on those who love ME. Whatever you do, wherever

you may be, bear this in mind that I am always aware of everything you do."

 

In this communication I shall narrate some of my recent experiences, I

accepted the outcome of all my attempts very boldly and with a smiling face,

because "1 surrendered myself with body and soul at HIS lotus feet."

I quite often, am criticised and questioned by my close associates on the

question of my absolute surrender and steady devotion to BABA. This arises

especially when I attempt to explain to them that each small event which

occurs has something to do with HIS wishes and desire. Yes, I always examine

even a small matter as BABA'S wish, irrespective of my success or failure

and I feel extremely contented with this act. Let me first confess that it

was BABA who has been constantly encouraging me to apply for some academic

distinctions and honour since I was summoned by HIM to Pune to my present

assignment. Prior to my coming over to Pune I was never thinking of going

for such academic competitive attainments for which one has to be in the run

always in the national field related to science and technology. After

working for about a year and preparing the needed foundation to succeed in

an academic race, I could see that my papers did not reach concerned person

although sufficient precaution was taken care of and with adequate margin

before the dead line, in order to satisfy myself I went to SHIRDI during

this Diwali and again I prayed to HIM with my desire. In a closed envelope

my feelings were also narrated and placed over BABA'S tomb. I was satisfied

with this ritual. When the deadline for the academic race came very near I

could learn that I was out of the competition since my papers did not reach

the person concerned as informed by the person to me. My wife informed me of

this news from New Delhi first and it was only a few moments, I came to my

consciousness and replied to her that it was HIS desire and I am not at all

sad about this. Since then a few months have elapsed and I could find out

that the person who had denied that the papers did not reach her was

interested in her own candidate and had not cared for my candidature. BABA

had saved me because if I would have remained as a candidate f would not

have succeeded since the person is politically and bureaucratically very

powerful.
