Tenth Holy Saying

" If you seek my advice and

help it shall be given to you at once1'

Who seeks the help of Baba; Only his devotees. Who does

not seek his help' He who does not know about Baba. Is there anybody, anywhere

in the world who does not request God for help? Is there a God who is ready to

give us the needed help? Yes, there is. He is Shri Shirdi Sai Nath.

 

How Baba has helped his devotees and saved the people of Shirdi

from a storm is a great wonder. Let us learn about it. One day in the evening

there was the threat of an approaching cyclone in Shirdi. The sky was overcast

with dark and thick clouds. Wind was high and tempestuous. There was rain

accompanied by lighting and thunder. There was a heavy downpour. The entire

village was almost in water. All the fields were inundated. All the beings were

scared. Birds, beasts and people were afraid of death in the storm.

 

They all ran for shelter in the mosque. There were many local

temples at Shirdi but they could not offer shelter. Therefore they all

requested Baba to stop the cyclone. Baba was pleased with their devotion and

stood on the edge of the verandah staring at the cyclone and commanded it to

stop the downpour. He asked it to mitigate its anger and reduce the rain.

Within a few minutes, it ceased to rain. The wind reduced its force and speed.

The storm stopped. Sky was clear. Moon began to shine bright. All people were

happy and they all returned to their respective houses.

 

The moment the devotees of Baba begged him to stop the storm, he

came to their rescue. Other gods in the town could not help them. Only by the

help of Baba they were all able to get protection. This indeed is divine help.

 

Baba's help means God's help. Baba means God himself. He is the

very center of form and formlessness. He is both visible and invisible. He is Prakrithi and Purusha, Parvathi

and Parameshwara in one. He is all and full. He is

ever blissful. He is the truth. He is Existence, knowledge and bliss.

 

Baba's grants

The infinite energy of cosmos in the form of Baba

is offering you fearlessness. It is ready to help you always. Your only

duty is now to make a request. It will be immediately granted. What request?

How to request? When to request? Who is to request?

 

Today all over the world, the devotees of Baba are all putting

forth countless desires before Baba. Crores of people

are receiving his help. His suggestion of infinite spiritual value are being

received by many a devotee. They are progressing on the path of spirituality

under the guidance of Baba.
