WHAT BABA EXPECTS FROM US

Baba said, "Be patient at heart" in Sri Sai Satcharitra, Ch.XXXII.

Dr. Mahesh I. Magdum, eye specialist, Lecturer in Ophthalmology, Karnataka

Medical College, Hubli, received a corrective from Baba in the year 1978. His

father as also his grandfather have been devotees of Sai Baba of Shirdi.

Sri Magdum was passing through difficult time. A Parsi old man guided him to a

house in Mahim, where a marble idol of Baba was installed, and where pooja was

conducted on Thursdays and Sundays. An upasaka in that house had the power of

going into trance and during the trance, he was solving people’s problems with

the grace of Sai Baba.

As expected there used to be a long queue of devotees for darshan of Sai Baba

and for solution to their problems. On a particular day, the doctor was also

waiting for his turn in the queue which happened to be quite long and it was

getting late for his clinic. He became restless and impatient. He began to

think whether there was any God as people thought, and if he exists what He was

doing, in the presence of many difficulties of the people.

All of a sudden he heard a voice which said: "Thera gussa bohuth hai beta! Aake

mere charno me chod de" (your temper is very bad son! Come and leave it at my

feet). He looked around to find out who was speaking to him. There was none.

Everyone was minding his business. Later touching the feet of the Baba in the

pooja room, the doctor promised to obey Him.

Nishta and Saburi are the two qualities, which Baba expects from His devotees.
