SHRI SAI BABA » THE FRIEND, PHILOSOPHER AND GUIDE (September 1990)

It is said that Bhagvad Geeta is that great poem which has the universal

capacity to provide solution lo any sort of problem may it be physical,

psychological, political, economical etc. It is upto the reader and his

approach to search and find the solution.

For Sai Bhaktas "SHRI SAI SATCHARITA" written by Shri. Hemadpant is an

identical treatise. There are many bhaktas who reach out to this book with

"Shraddha" (faith) and "Saburi" (patience) to get the guidance from Shri Sai

Baba. I for one is never ever disappointed in my pursuit. Baba has guided me

on many occasions through this great book. I would like to quote one such

incident here.

Recently, my wife was taken very ill and had lo be put in a hospital in a

very serious condition. She was suffering of acute Gastroenteritis and some

other complications. Doctors were trying out various medicines but the

improvement was not at all satisfactory. It was a Sunday when she was

admitted in the hospital and the loose motions and vomiting were not getting

controlled till Wednesday evening. She had gone very weak and restless. Me

and our children were very much worried and anxious.

Thursday morning as I woke up I was feeling gloomy and sad. Somewhere wilhin

myself I was in anguish and in a disappointed mood with Baba. It has been

observed that out Baba tests us on the dimensions of Shraddha and Saburi

before showering his grace and blessings on us. I felt that this was that

particular moment and I was no more able to stand to this test.

In this dejected slate of mind I picked up the Hindi version of "Shri Sai

Satcharitra" and immediately prayed to Baba for His help and guidance. I

opened the book at random and lo! I found page no. 82 open before me and

staried reading, as follows:-

 

There was no limit to my joy as soon as I read this paragraph. I knew Baba

has heard my prayers. It appeared as if Baba was sitting before my wife and

ordering her to get well. A cool cloud of peace enveloped me and I felt

assured that she is going to get well soon.

Subsequently, Shri Sai helped me in many ways through unseen and unexpected

help and everything becoming well. Needless to say my wife is back home from

hospital and recovering fast from her illness.

There is no doubt lhat each one of us has to live our own life through all

the ordeals and sufferings but firm faith and patience are the two strong

shields that protect us always.

These two qualities are me Maha Prasad that Baba has given to us.
