September 29, 2007

76. Just like the case of a dying person receiving showers of nectar who immediately revives, such was Patil’s satisfaction. 77. Hearing those words of Sainatha were like nectar to a man facing immediate death or water to a man dying of thirst. 78.

When he sat in front of Baba for an hour, his vomitting of blood stopped, which otherwise he used to do at intervals of every five minutes. 79. He (Baba) did not examine the patient nor did he ask for the case history. Only with a merciful glance, the disease was destroyed from the root. 80. It is enough to receive a merciful glance. Even a dry stick can sprout leaves, flowers can blossom without spring, and the withered tree can become laden with

fruit. 81. Ill health or good health. It’s a question of whether the store of good deeds is exhausted or that of the sins. There is no escape but to experience the effects of destiny. 82. He had the disease only because of his fate. This is the rule applied to the cycle of birth and death. There is no other remedy or freedom from it, other than to undergo the sufferings. 83. But, if by good fortune one can get the darshan of a saint, this is one certain means to cure the illness – and to heal it without suffering. 84. A disease itself shows that this was destiny. But if a saint casts a merciful glance it takes away the misery out of the destined suffering. 85. The actual remedy lay in Baba’s words. On one occasion, he cured malaria by feeding, yoghurt and rice to a black dog. 86. You may think these stories are deviations. But listening to them altogether, you will realise the significance. In any case, it is Sai who has reminded me of it. 87. “I will tell my own story”, Sai himself has said this. He only has reminded me of these stories, at

this time. 88. There was a person by the name of Bala Ganpat, who was a tailor by caste and was a great devotee. He came to the Masjid and sat in front of Baba and prayed imploringly. 89. “What sin have I committed? Why doesn’t this malaria leave me? Baba, I have tried a number of remedies. But it does not leave my body. 90. So now what shall I do? I have tried all medicines and decoctions. Now at least, you tell me some remedy so that this fever will leave me”. http://www.saileela s.org/books/ sss/index.
