Guest guest Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Sairam, May BABA's blessings shower upon one and all. May our prayers be answered. Circumstances and incidents in our life displace our thoughts and actions. Such situations create havoc in our life. We are engulfed in worry anxiety and hopeless thoughts which overtake our normal life. WE forget to smile, laugh, be happy. These situations are created for a purpose - for us to learn lessons in life. When we are troubled, the only person who always stays by our side is - BABA, rest of all come to our aid only to certain extent. When we are burdened with such thoughts taking out BABA's name 'sai, sai' relieves us off worries. He takes control of all our worries and the elements that cause havoc in our life. Next time when we are anxious let us repeat His name and wait for HIM to take over the control rather than holding it in our hands.. He is known to rush to the aid of HIS children as HE is Kripasagar and Karunanidhi who takes care of HIS children.... " Baba's Control over the Elements We shall close this Chapter after describing two incidents showing Baba's control over the elements. (1) Once at evening time, there was a terrible storm at Shirdi. The sky was overcast with thick black clouds. The winds began to blow forcibly; the clouds roared and the lighting began to flash, and the rains began to descend in torrents. In a short time, the whole place was flooded with water, All the creatures, birds, beasts and men got terribly frightened; and they all flocked to the Masjid for shelter. There are many local deities in Shirdi, but none of them came to their help. So they all prayed to Baba - their God, Who was fond of their devotion, to intercede and quell the storm. Baba was much moved. He came out and standing at the edge of the Masjid, addressed the storm in a loud and thunderous voice - "Stop, stop your fury and the calm." In a few minutes the rains subsided, the winds ceased to blow, and the storm came to a stop. Then the moon rose in the sky, and the people then went back home well-pleased, (2) On another occasion at noon the fire in the Dhuni began to burn brightly, its flames were seen to be reaching the rafters above. The people who were sitting in the Masjid did not know what to do. They dared not to ask Baba to pour water or do anything to quench the flames. But Baba soon came to realize, what was happening. He took up His Satka (short stick) and dashed it against a pillar in front, saying - "Get down, Be calm." At each stroke of the Satka, the flames began to lower and slow down; and in a few minutes the Dhuni became calm and normal. This is our Sai, an Incarnation of God. He will bless any man who will prostrate and surrender himself to Him. He, who will read the stories of this Chapter daily with faith and devotion, will soon be free from all calamities; not only this, but always attached and devoted to Sai, he will get very soon God-vision: all his desires will be fulfilled and being ultimately desireless, he will attain the Supreme. Amen! " Chapter 11 Satcharita. BABA bless us and guide us always.
