PROTECTION - TOTAL PROTECTION

PROTECTION - THAT IS TOTAL PROTECTION

Baba said, "No, this can't be. I am its father (protector) and I am here now.

How shall I allow ...., am I here for nothing? Just see how I release it" in

Sri Sai Satcharitra, Ch. XLVII

In 1977 Dr. Thakur Dutt Sharma was working as Deputy Chief Medical Officer, in

Dharmashala, Himachal Pradesh. He had darshan and blessings of Dr. Babaji at

Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh and was proceeding to Simla. Dr. Babaji specifically

told him not to travel in the jeep in the night on that day.

Disregarding the advice, Dr Thakur proceeded to Simla that night as he had some

urgent assignment. It is 150 kms, from Hamirpur to Simla. About 40 kms from

Simla the vehicle went out of control and struck a hillock. The occupants

escaped with some minor injuries. After this accident, the vehicle, would move

only in front and rear and not turn sideways. About 1 ½ hours was spent in

trying to rectify the problem. There was no success. The doctor sitting on the

roadside parapet, in the wee hours of the night, prayed to Sai Baba, to get

them out of their trouble and guide them to their destination.

After this short prayer, Dr Thakur asked the driver to start the vehicle. Lo!

The vehicle started moving not only forwards and backwards but could also be

turned sideward. Simla was reached. In the morning the doctor asked the driver

to take the vehicle to the mechanic shop for necessary repairs. The driver

tried for three hours. The vehicle would not budge. Ultimately when the

mechanic examined the vehicle, it was found that the central pin was broken.

How did the vehicle travel 40 kms in the ghat road with a broken central pin?

Even the thought of the consequence was frightening.
