MIRACULOUS RECOVERY (October 1983)

I am a devotee of Shri Sai Baba and have read many incidents in Sai-Leela

magazine how Lord Sai had helped His devotees. This had inspired me to

narrate an incident which took place recently in my life.

 

I was not putting on weight and sometimes R.B. cells were passing through my

urine. To find out the reason, many types of urine and blood examinations

were done, x-rays were also taken, but everything was found to be normal.

So the doctor advised me to do a test of renal-biopsy which takes 3 to 4

days. So I was admitted to hospital on 7-1-1983. On 21-1-83 biopsy was

done. We were told that because of the ‘biopsy’ the colour of the urine

may be a little reddish; but in my case, the urine continued to be red for 3

to 4 days. It was realized then, that while doing the biopsy, the testing

needle must have injected on the wrong location, and it must have injured

the blood vein, which was the cause of bleeding and so the urine was red.

 

We were frightened and praying to Lord Sai for His help. The doctor told

that there was no medicine which could stop that bleeding, it will be healed

on its own. Like that another fifteen days passed; but the urine was still

red. Now the doctors were also worried. It was suggested that if it

doesn’t get normal within two to three days, some more tests will be

required to trace the exact place of the injury and after that if necessary,

surgery should be one to stop the bleeding.

 

My mind was full of anxiety and tension. My parents were also much

worried. We all prayed from the bottom of our heart to Shri Sai Baba to

help us and do something, so we need not have to undergo the surgery.

 

It seemed that our prayers were answered and one day to our pleasant

surprise the urine became normal. It was the day, just one day before when

the other tests for the decision of surgery were to be done. The doctors

were also surprised, and told that it is not possible, unless it is a

miracle. After this the other test was cancelled. Upto three to four days

everything continued to be normal. So I was allowed to move.

Unfortunately it was little too early and the injury was not healed

completely. So again the bleeding started.

 

It was a great shock for me and I thought that if bleeding can occur again,

after everything was normal, it is very dangerous and what will happen in

future if healing is not complete. I prayed once again, day and night,

with full faith to Shri Sai Baba about 8 bottles of blood and more than 100

bottles of glucose-saline were given to me during the period of one month.

Shri Sai Baba ultimately listened to our prayers and after a week the urine

was once again quite clear; but this time, we did not want to take a risk,

so after 15 days of bed-rest, I started to move and when I was out of

danger, I was discharged from the hospital.

 

I am working in a bank and to avoid the hardships of traveling, I applied

for transfer to the branch near my house. By Shri Sai’s grace, I got the

transfer immediately, to the branch, which is very close to my house. By

His grace I am now alright.

 

This incident has impressed me a lot and strengthened my faith in Shri Sai

Baba even more. I strongly believe that if you have true faith and if you

remember Him from the bottom of your heart, with patience, He will certainly

come to your help and fulfill your wishes. May all have such faith towards

Him and may Lord Sai Baba’s grace be showered on them.
