MIRACLES - MASTER'S PROTECTION

MIRACLES – MASTER’S PROTECTION

Among the Sai bhaktas, it is perhaps the pure in heart who are blessed with the

vision and the grace of the Guru-God. Many a man of humble origin with a simple

and unsophisticated mind gets similar marks of the Master's favor. Perhaps Baba

like men to be simple and childlike in order that they may enter the kingdom of

heaven.

What is the rational explanation of these miracles? Is there a duplication of

personality? Does Sai himself enter into the physical semblance of a soul ? One

cannot say. But one can say with utter conviction that these are no ordinary

miracles. Such marvels can only spring from a Divine source-and they establish

beyond all doubt the supreme avatarhood of the Saint of Shirdi.

Although such uncommon wonders occur in the lives of some bhaktas only, each and

every devotee is blessed with some concrete token of the Master's protection and

love. Such inner vision and psychic experience are important avenues of Divine

help. Through these means Baba is able to create that intense longing for the

Divine which nothing can damp-neither delays, nor difficulties, nor

disappointments.

Together with these inspiring instances of Baba's innate Lordship may also be

recounted the unique phenomena of what is known as Baba's anterjnana, or

omniscience. Baba himself, at the close of noon arati one day, made an avowal

of this power which he possessed thus: "Wherever you may be, Whatever you may

do, remember this always-I ever know whatever you do or say." No matter with

what secret thought or desire or doubt an individual confronted him at Shirdi,

Baba could read him like an open book. Sometimes he exposed those thoughts as

much as to rebuke them: "Oh those of little faith," he seemed to say,"

wherefore do you doubt?" At other times he started replying to the half-formed

questions of the casual visitor; often he solved the problems of those who had

not even had the time to speak of their needs. This anterjnana was not limited

to those who were in his actual presence. Baba could express the thoughts of

persons, thousands of miles away, foresee events and

reveal the past, present, and future as if space and time had shrunk into an

all-revealing point of eternity in front of this omniscient and omnipresent

presence in Shirdi.

Endlessly could we go on recounting the leelas of the Blessed One. Perhaps

hearing of his consummate deeds which out-flash all religious theories and

rituals, thousands will come within the ambit of his gracious influence opening

to the children of men the gates of immortality.
