EXPERIENCES(October 1944)

 

Sri D.Muthusamier, Health Inspector, Ootacamund informs us:-

Believe not dreams. Nor all the results of Chit Consultation.

 

Sri D. Muthusamier’s son an intelligent student appeared for S.S.L.C. two

years back. He was a devout believer in Sai Baba. Some time before result

came, he had a dream in which B.V.N.Swami appeared and told me that he

failed in his examination. After waking, he cast Chits before BABA picture

to ascertain if he had passed or not. The Chit test showed that he had

failed. He took this to heart very keenly, took some money and left his

house. For a few days there was no trace of him. Mr.M.sent wires, gave

information to the police & c. – all in vain. In 2 or 3 days after the

students disappearance, the results came. The boy had passed his

examination. The father went to Coimbatore Sai Samaj to search for the son.

Sri A.V.K. Chari assured him that in 24 hours, the boy would be discovered.

In exactly 24 hours the boy was discovered and taken back home. The student

lost his faith completely in Sai Baba and Swami. Not so the father. The

father noted that sometimes dreams go by contraries, that an affirmative in

the dream has to be constructed as a negative and that consequently, all

dreams should not taken as God sent and true visions or visions of truth. He

also noted that the constant consultation of Sai Baba by anyone and

everyone casting Chits, in any state of mind was a serious mistake- and not

calculated to discover Baba’s will or the truth. Only those who have

thoroughly surrendered themselves to Baba have a right to consult him; and

chits may cast only when the consulter is in great pain or emotion needing

the immediate direction of Baba on the matter about which the consultation

takes place. Chits should be used only for guidance urgently needed for some

action to be taken on the guidance- and not merely to get a prediction as

from an astrologer. One who observes these rules will get guidance and will

not lose faith.
