Guest guest Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 A Thursday Sai Message I had the privilege of having 'darshan' of Lord Sainath in the Sai-temple at New York, when we went to the U.S.A. in 1984. I came across an unforgettable incident on a Thursday evening. An elderly white-haired Gujarat-born Sai-brother was next to me. After the worship, I noticed that this brother put a small slip of paper, but no money in the 'Arathi' plate. Just then, a gust of wind from the open window blew the paper on to the floor. Bending over to retrieve it, I could not help but see these words printed in large letters: " I will pray one hour a day " . I became curious and as such requested him to explain the message he had put in the 'Arathi' plate. What he told me is quite moving. His wife had died following a long and very expensive illness and he lay been forced to sell his home to pay medical bills. Now he lived with his married daughter. " I am too old to work and I have no money " he said: " but I can pray.” Lord Sainath has assured, " If you spread your palms with devotion before Me, I am with you day and night'. So He is taking care of me " . His story brought to my mind Sai Baba's assurance - 'I always think of him who remembers Me and reminded me once again that when we give sincerely what we have, no gift brought before Lord Sainath is too small or insignificant. -Mrs. Usha Ranganathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
