Sai Baba the Master by E.Bharadwaja

[Guest guest]

This experience was accompanied by a remarkable change in my physical

constitution. My lean frame got filled in with flesh to robustness and

I

was brimming with energy which was not lowered by late hours of

reading at

night or by missing my meal now and then. There was a strong urge to

walk

and walk, almost endlessly, through most of the day and I was not

tired.

My mind was engrossed in the blissful peace and was not stirred by the

traffic on the road. My mind, too, seemed to have grown unusually

penetrating. For, the most vexatious of meta-physical questions got

cleared in a wink and there seemed practically nothing which it could

not

comprehend. Often knowledge concerning my friends who were far off, or

of

the thoughts that passed through my associates’ minds broke in and

then I

was no less surprised at it than they. Strangely enough, the pervasive

peace was shared by all those around me. It was definite that my life

turned a corner. The steady current of this experience has ever

continued,

sometimes quite vivid and sometimes a little less so.

 

After three or four months followed my second visit to Shirdi. This

time

no such spectacular experience occurred but I keenly felt that I was

visiting a saint who has been my guiding Spirit through lives, that he

was

somehow connected with my initiation into the quest for knowledge

eight

years earlier. There was only an intense personal attachment to the

Master, and the sense of not having the good fortune of seeing Him in

flesh and blood in this life. “What could have happened then? Now that

I

cannot hope for this, could I at least see any living saint? What

would be

his impact on me?” This was the object of my prayer at Baba’s samadhi

mandir.
