BABA SAVED HIS CHILD

May 20, 2005

In Mahim, Mumbai there was a large poor family of six. The head of the family

was a clerk. Once he committed a serious blunder in the accounts, and feared

dismissal. One of his friends, a devotee of Sai Baba, heard of his anxiety and

gave him udhi and asked him to use it twice everyday and assured him that his

difficulties would cease in a month or two. Shortly after, his mistake in

accounts was discovered. He could not face the situation. So he went on leave

for a month and came home. He was frightened by the prospect of dismissal and

decided to commit suicide to end his sufferings. One day he kissed his child,

wore an old shirt and went out. His wife knew of his distracted state of mind

and knew that it was of no use preventing him from going out. So she called him

back, gave him Sai Baba’s udhi and let him go. Then she sat before Baba’s

picture and went on praying fervently to him to save her husband’s life.

Her husband who had left the house in the morning did not turn up even in the

evening. He went to Borivelle in Mumbai and jumped into a secluded tank. A

fisherman rescued him and threatened him to hand him over to police if he did

not return home. He gave a little money and left him at his house at 11 p.m.

The next minute the fisherman disappeared! Baba is the fisher of men’s souls

too!

Manikshah never ate anything without first offering it to Baba. Yet he could not

visit Shirdi for a long time. Once on his way to Nagpur he was sleeping in his

reserved compartment. At about 1.30 p.m. he woke up at Manmad. A vague human

form appeared and said, "Do not proceed further!" and vanished. He looked out

but found none. He got down from the train. He had his next train for Nagpur

only late in the evening. The pilgrims proceeding to Shirdi suggested that he

could join them and he did. By evening he returned to Manmad and was shocked to

learn that the earlier train, by which he came, later met with a major accident

and that many were killed or wounded.

Baba had mercifully saved him from the danger and fulfilled his wish to visit Shirdi.
