SHRI SAI THE GUIDING FORCE (September 1983)

[Guest guest]

Had Baba not encouraged the priest to ask us to take Udi, our routine of

applying some Udi on our forehead and lips after morning prayers would have

been disturbed for fifteen days.

 

How active and vigorous He is even today ! Baba has said, “My tomb shall

bless and speak to the needs of my devotees”. How much careful He is of

the needs of His devotees !

He further said, “if you cast your burden on me, I shall surely bear it.”

Now, let us see how he bore my burden on himself during that journey.

 

We decided to get reservation for our return journey when we reached Pune.

During our onward journey. I was told by a fellow passenger at Pune that

one can get reservation for Delhi only if the application is made, at least,

three weeks in advance. We were thinking that our programme will be upset

if we do not get reservation as per our schedule. But, I thought that we

can’t make any programme ourselves. It is Lord Sainath who has to do it.

 

My first work on reaching Pune was to try for our reservation for the

return journey and to our surprise, we got it on the date we preferred.

Which was only ten days ahead.

Next afternoon, we reached Panchgani. When we reached the hotel and

contacted the receptionist, he told us that all the suites were pre-occupied

and that the suite booked for me was occupied only one hour back. I could

not blame the hotel men since, the suite was allotted to me by my employers,

who have booked it for their employees permanently. There had been double

allotment by mistake. So, I had no alternative, but, to arrange for my

accommodation elsewhere.

 

Here also, Baba came to our rescue. He did not only arrange good

accommodation for us, but, also helped us to get a nice company, the family

of a senior of mine, posted at my Head Office. This family not only helped

us in getting a suite in State Tourism Corporation rest house, but, also

took us with them to the nearby places worth seeing. In short, we had a

nice stay there by His grace. We returned to our place as scheduled after

experiencing hundreds of Baba’s miracles.

 

In fact, if one wants to have any type of help, one gets it from Him.
