GRACE ON KAKA DIXIT REPEATED (November 1983)

As Sai-devotees, the surest way to be always at peace within is to keep Sai

in our thoughts throughout the day, no matter what we are doing, no matter

what are our inner tribulations or outer experiences. When we have

surrendered to Lord Sainath, the constant focus of our being and attention

should be Sai’s Omnipresence; so pleasant, so peaceful, so one with Sai. No

other desire remains, no slightest restlessness ripples the consciousness.

This should be practiced in every moment of our life and we should not

permit anything to ruffle us.

Inspite of this attitude on our part, any disturbance in our life should be

viewed as a test of Sainath meant to instruct and strengthen us. When we

are brought face to face with difficult times by this ever changing world,

we must be divine warriors. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link;

each one of us is only as string as our greatest weakness. We must learn

to stand calm, unshaky, undismayed, no matter what comes in life. That

equilibrium of consciousness can come when we fully surrender ourselves to

the will of Sainath.

 

Lord Sainath urged all of us to cast our burden on Him, for only with our

consciousness anchored in Him can we win the battle of life. We all have

had the experience of this truth sometime or the other.

 

What an exhilarating feeling it is ! I am relating a recent experience,

when suddenly I have brought forth this truth within myself and beheld it

clearly !

 

It was the 23rd August 1983. In the lunch interval casually I took up ”

Life of Sai Baba” – (Vol-ii) by Shri B.V. Narasimhaswami and started reading

the chapter on H.S. Dixit (called ‘Kaka’ by Shri Sai Baba).

 

Even though I had read the chapter earlier, Kaka Dixit’s experience of Baba’

s protection throughout thrilled me. I was in a bliss when I read how

Sainath helped Kaka Dixit repay a loan of Rs.30,000/- in a matter of four

days. (Pages 173-174 of “Life of Sai Baba – Vol-II)

In that book, Shri B.V. Narasimhaswami describes that Baba had told Kaka

Dixit that He was taking all care and responsibility for Dixit’s welfare

upon Himself and Kaka Dixit need not worry himself on this score. An

occasion arose when Kaka Dixit had to put Baba to a severe test, when he was

called upon to repay, within four days, a debt of Rs.30,000/- to a Marwari.

Kaka Dixit put the entire burden on Baba trusting Him to clear the debt.

Three day later, a friend’s son walked into Kaka Dixit’s office seeking his

advice about investing a sum of Rs.30,000/-. When he learnt of Kaka Dixit’

s plight, he readily lent the money to Kaka Dixit to clear his debt.

As a divine coincidence (rather ‘Sai-incidence’), exactly at that moment

(when I was reading this description in Vol-II of ‘Life of Sai Baba’ by Shri

B.V. Narasimhaswami) the postman brought my mail. The first envelope I

opened contained a letter from Shri T. A. Ramnathen of Sarangabad enclosing

a letter from Shri R. Radhakrishnan dated 6th August 1983 (No. 938/B

Vidyaranyanagar, Railway quarters, Gadag Road, Hubli 580 020). Readers of

“Shri Sai Leela” are aware that Shri T. A. Ramnathen is a

Sai-devotee-par-excellence and has catalysed a postal ‘satsang’ among Sai

devotees (please refer Shri P.K. Kapoor’s article in “Shri Sai Leela” August

1983 – “Sai Peerless Savior” – Pages 9-II) Shri Ramnathenji had enclosed the

letter of Shri R. Radhakrishnan requesting me to write to him and have

postal satsang.

 

In his letter, Shri Radhakrishnan had described an incident which is on

similar lines to how Kaka Dixit enjoyed the Sai-grace to repay a loan of

Rs.30,000/- in a matter of four days.
