Fear Not! Baba is living with us!

[Guest guest]

Saints never die, they visit this earth, regulate the society and leaving the

earth after satisfactory completion of the task given by God to them. Several

devotees were frightened at the idea of Baba leaving them to themselves by

leaving his body. Baba told one of the Mumbai ladies, Mrs. Tarabai Sadasiva

Tarkhad, "Mother, I DO NOT DIE. Wherever you are, if you think of me, I am

there at any time you please (whether I am in the body or out of it), and in

Sri Sai Satcharitha, we have read Baba had given similar assurance to Damodar

Rasne. Both the above blessed children of Baba experienced Baba's presence even

after Mahasamadhi. Sri Rasne saw physical, living and moving body of Sai Baba

with his own eyes any number of times and talked with that body. Mrs. Tarkhad

said, 'Baba has not altogether vanished, he is still living with us now and

gives ample proof of his powers and protecting care in many matters off and on,

though the impressions about these,

because of his body being invisible, are not so great as those that the devotees

enjoyed when they sat in his presence at Shirdi.'

Abdullah Jan, originally of Tarbella, Mazra district near Peshawar, was a

Pathan, living at Korhale, near Sakori - once expressed his fear that Baba

would expire and that all his work and influence would pass away with him. Baba

said, 'Turban Hun Danda Hani', which is the Marathi expression for 'From within

the tomb I will beat with sticks.' This statement is further strengthened with

the following incident, which happened 18 years after Baba's Mahasamadhi. Imam

Bhai Chote Khan, aged about 65 years and residing at Vijapur, Aurangabad

district, told HH Pujyasri B V Narasimhaswamiji. About 1936, Chote Khan and

Madhav Fasle were at the Mosque one night. Chote Khan heard Baba's voice 'Ye

Madhav. Get up, I want to pass urine.' But Madhav in his deep sleep did not get

up. Early in the morning, both of them found in the hollow at the place where

Baba used to sit, scented water. The hollow was filled water. Baba had passed

urine and it had become scented water.

In our life everyday we are coming across so many incidents that Baba is still

living with us and helping to ward off our troubles and calamities. Fear not -

Baba is living with us, simply follow his doctrines "You need not go far in

search of Me. Barring your name and form, there exists in you as well as in all

beings, a sense of Being or Consciousness of Existence. That is Myself (Sri

Saisatcharitra Ch.XLIII) Always worship Me, who is seated in your heart as well

as in the heart of all beings (Ch.XV). Hence Baba is within us, helping us and

guiding us.

Bow to Sri Sai, Peace be to All.
