SAI MOTHER'S MERCY

[Guest guest]

SAI MOTHER’S MERCY

Baba said, "I serve him in his house in all possible ways" in Sri Sai Satcharitra, Ch.2.

Sri Radhakrishna Swamiji was the Chief Guest at the gathering of Sai Leela

contributors held on 28th and 29th January 1979 at Shirdi. Swamiji said that

Sai Baba fulfilled the desire of everyone. We call Him our father, our mother,

friend and we offer all our learning and wealth to Him. Sometimes a doubt

arises in the mind as to how Sai Baba can be a mother, he asked. Sri

Radhakrishna Swamiji also was in constant communion with Sri Sai Baba, share

with us two of his personal experiences."One lady got a child and she wanted

that her child should be fed on her milk, but her to dismay her breasts were

dry. She tried all remedies but they were not of any use. The lady conceived

again and when she was in her 8th month of pregnancy, she came to me along with

her husband and requested me to pray to Sai Baba to give milk to her second

child. I assured her that this time she will get milk in the breasts after

delivery, by the grace of

Sai Baba. I gave her udhi, and asked her to pray to Sai Baba with full devotion.

The lady went away and in course of time she gave birth to a child. Her husband

came to me, saying that her breasts were dry totally and that he was afraid

that his second child also may not get mother’s milk. I asked the husband to go

and pray to Sai Baba to fulfil the wishes of the lady, and lo! On the third day

this mother could feed her baby as the breasts were full of milk. This is one

example where Sai Baba acted as mother, because this is one thing, which only a

mother can understand."

"Once a gentleman came to me while I was in Chennai and informed me that his son

had run away and his whereabouts were not known for 2 – 3 days. I told him to

pray to Sai Baba and by His grace, his son would return on the fifth day. He

got a telegram from Calcutta that his boy was safe and would reach Chennai in

one or two days. After the boy returned to Chennai, he was brought to me by the

father. I enquired with the boy, the reason for his running away. He told me his

parents were angry with him and hence he ran away from the house. The boy

further said that when he was in Calcutta, Sai Baba appeared in his dream and

told him to go to the station. There he met a person who enquired about him and

gave a telegram to Chennai and arranged to send the boy back to Chennai. "How

did Sai Baba look?" He answered "Sai Baba appeared with the tin pot in his hand

and he was proceeding to beg for alms."
