Guest guest Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 HIM I HELP THE MOST Baba said, “He should get rid of his ego, place (or surrender) it at My feet. He who acts like this in life, him I help the most” in Sri Sai Satcharitra, Ch. II. In 1922, the British Raj sentenced Mahatma Gandhi to yet another term of imprisonment. This time, he was to be in jail for six years. The jail superintendent knew Gandhi very well. The problem with his distinguished prisoner was that he would bring everyone in the prison under his spell! The jailer was very particular that Gandhi, ‘an enemy of the British Empire’, should not be allowed to ‘indoctrinate’ anyone this time. Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians – everyone adored Gandhi. Whom could he choose to be his attendant in prison? After serious consideration, the jailer chose an African convict, who spoke no Indian language. There was no danger of his being ‘corrupted’ by the ‘enemy of the British Empire’. This man was to be Gandhi’s personal attendant during his prison term. One day, the African was stung by a scorpion. In great agony, his face streaming with tears, he came running to Gandhi. Wordlessly, he held out his hand, to show where the scorpion had stung him. Without a moment’s hesitation, Gandhi took his hand and sucked out the poison, until he felt better. Bapuji then offered him a few home remedies to relieve his pain. He was now attending to the comforts of the convict who was supposed to be of service to him! Never in his life, had the African seen so much love and kindness offered to him. He became Gandhi’s ardent follower. Be a PS3 game guru.Get your game face on with the latest PS3 news and previews at Games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 This is just superb.... I am sure this is exactly the reason why we are all Sai Baba's devotees - Because, never in our lives (atleast my life) have we (I) received so much unconditional love from anyone in this world..... I say this from the purest moments of my life...Perhaps the only truth I can scream with confidence in front of God and die at my Satguru Sai Baba's feet.. May Baba bless everyone in this whole world...May he help us to burn our egos in fire as soon as possible to that we can destroy the teli's wall and become one with our father, one with him.
