9th If you cast your burden on me, I shall carry it

[Guest guest]

The earth carries us all. It in turn is going around the sun. Even

the sun is not still and unchanging. All the planets are moving-The entire universe is dependent on some cosmic energy

and that central energy is running the cosmos.

 

You are but a part in the universe. You are not carrying any other

part in the universe. Nothing is a burden to you. Burden is in your thought

process. Change your thought process. All will be well then. Not only now,

always and under all circumstances, the burden of the universe is carried by Visweswara. You will very soon realize that God is no other

than Sainath of Shirdi.

 

Bayajabai served Baba with

sincere devotion and love. Her son Tatya Patil was accepted by Baba as his nephew. He accepted the

responsibility of the boy completely. He made him very rich. Finally he saved

him from the jaws of death. He sacrificed his all and saved that boy and

thereby proved to the world that he would successfully take upon himself the

burden of his devotees.

 

In 1918, sometime in the month of September, Tatya

fell sick. He was in the bed. Therefore he could not go to see Baba. Baba too

was running temperature. Tatya had full faith in Baba

and Baba had full confidence in Sree Hari. Only

God was their protector. Tatya's sickness was on the

rise. He was unable to move. He was thinking and speaking of Baba alone. Baba's

sickness was also increasing. Vijayadasami was fast

approaching. The pulse of Tatya was becoming weak and

feeble. Everybody thought that he would die soon. Just then a great miracle

happened.

 

Tatya did not die. He escaped

death but instead of Tatya, Baba sacrificed his life.

It appeared that there was a mutual exchange. Everybody thought Baba gave up

his life to save the life of Tatya. Baba goes to any

extent to save his devotees. He even sacrifices his life. Both during life and

in death, Sai comes to the rescue of his devotees. Those people who serve Baba

whole heartedly will have nothing to worry or suffer. Baba never lets us down.

He keeps his Promise at any cost. There is no doubt about the fulfillment of

Baba's promise to his devotees. Not only does Baba carry our burdens, but he

saves us always risking his life even. He is our saviour.

 

Bow to Shri

Sai - Peace be to all.
