MY EXPERIENCE WITH LORD SAI (October 1983)

[Guest guest]

After coming back to Bangalore I spent almost every day thinking about the

ways and means of arranging the fund. Many days passed without finding a

proper solution to my problem yet I was firm in my thinking and cast all my

problems on the feet of Sai. I wrote to my brother (Physician) for some

financial help who readily agreed to give me Rs.30,000/- and yet I was short

of Rs.20,000/-

 

A meeting was arranged between me and my partner with the help of my friends

and dissolution deed was drafted. As per the terms of the deed I was to

pay Rs.50,000/- immediately on signing the dissolution deed and the rest of

the money was to be paid in 10 equal installments. According to this I

should have cash on hand of Rs.50,000/- and I was still short of Rs.20,000/-

and I was therefore desperate. The day of dissolution i.e. 21-8-1982 was

fast approaching. I was all the time thinking that on the day of

dissolution my partner would come and all my friends would come and I would

be humiliated in their presence since I could not arrange for the required

fund.

On the previous day to the day of dissolution i.e. 20-8-1982. I was quietly

sitting at home and my mind was full of the thoughts of the next day. I had

just finished my lunch with my family at about 2.00 p.m. We heard a

knocking on the front door and when I opened the door I saw one of my old

friends along with an old person. My old friend’s visit at this unusual

hour surprised me since I thought that he must have come to me for some

financial help from me, because it was my experience in life that hardly any

one would give me money and on the other hand many would take financial help

from me.

 

But lo! Here was quite an unusual experience of my life-time. My old friend

told me that he had Rs.20,000/- cash with him and that he was interested in

keeping the money with me for some time and I could pay it back whenever it

suited me and till such that money would carry some nominal interest. This

was exactly the money that I was short of executing the dissolution deed

with my partner.

 

I offered simple food to my old friend and the old person along with him and

they heartily took the food and after resting for a while went away.

 

How can I forget this great moment in my life ? How can I forget my Sai

Narayan in my life even for a second? Believe me I have dedicated my small

factory to My lord Sai Ram.
