A Sai Miracle!

 

Baba had declared in His manifest form that after He attained

Samadhi, His tomb would bless and speak to the needs of His devotees.

Like millions of His ardent devotees, over the last 89 years, I too

have been experiencing His divine miracles in my day to-day

activities. " All that You did while in the body, still continues even

after merging with the unmanifest and those who worship You, have the

same experience even today. " Chapter 48, Verse 24, Sri Sai

Satcharitra. There were several occasions in the recent past, when I

yearned for His beneficence and I have received it reverentially.

Having been caught in a bizarre debt-trap to the tune of Rupees 3.5

million, I have become a bete noir among my family members. In

extreme frustration, I went to consult a self-publicized

spiritualist, residing on the third floor of a flat in South Delhi.

While musing on the sequence of misfortunes that had befallen me, I

noticed the window by which I was sitting was open and there was no

movement of wind. I impulsively decided to end my life by jumping

through the window. All of a sudden, a mysterious gust blew the

window shut, which left me non-pulsed for a moment. I then remembered

the story of one disillusioned Gopal Narayan Ambedkar of Pune who,

while staying with his family in Shirdi for two months, had

contemplated to commit suicide by jumping into a well near the

bullock cart in which he was sitting. Just then Baba hastily

intervened through Sagun Meru Naik and that momentous event changed

the complexion of Ambedkar's life.

 

Three months ago, after desperately searching for a job in Delhi, I

thought, I was fortunate to have been engaged by a Delhi based

hardware and software products manufacturing company to market their

products and services for the first time in South India. So I reached

Hyderabad all agog to introduce and promote them there. A few days

later, I was dismayed to realize that it was very tough to make a

foray into a fiercely competitive market, particularly where the

company was yet to have a facility to render technical support to its

prospective clients. Ironically, the small sum of money that I had on

me, ran out soon and my survival had indeed become very difficult. I

had no money even to buy food, leave alone pay my outstanding hotel

bill. In utter despair, I pleaded with the Director of the company to

help me urgently with some money. But he mercilessly berated me on

the plea that since I had failed to sell his company's products, I

was not eligible to receive any payment from him.
