Guest guest Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Sairam, Happy BABA's day to you all. Troubles and turmoils are part of our life. BABA makes sure we face them so as to grow and mature in our spiritual as well as mundane life. No man born on this earth is free from problems, one has to go through tough times at some times in our life. It is our faith and patience that will help us emerge successfully from such sticky situations. If it were not for problems then we - humans would have forgotten god long time ago. in present times as it is with the rat race the values are dimished, me, mine and I have taken precedence. So let us thank BABA for our problems for they make us think of HIM. One thing we as children of BABA should know is that when we have taken shelter under BABA's grace, troubles come like a shadow and go away. Here is BABA's promise... " Balasaheb Mirikar Balasaheb Mirikar, son of Sirdar Kakasaheb Mirikar was Mamlatdar of Kopergaon. He was going on tour to Chitali. On the way he came to Shirdi to see Sai Baba. When he went to the Masjid and prostrated himself before Baba, usual conversation regarding health and other matters commenced, when Baba sounded a note of warning as follows:-"Do you know our Dwarakamayi?" As Balasaheb did not understand he kept quiet, Baba continued - "This is our Dwarakamayi, where you are sitting. She wards off all dangers and anxieties of the children, who sit on her lap. This Masjidmayi (its presiding Deity) is very merciful, she is the mother of the simple devotees, whom she will save in calamities. Once a person sits on her lap, all his troubles are over. He, who rests in her shade, gets Bliss". Then Baba gave him Udi, and placed His protecting hand on his head. When Balasaheb was about to depart, He again said- "Do you know the "Lamba Bava" (long gentleman), Viz. serpent?" And then closing the left arm like fist He brought it near the right elbow, and moving His left arm like the hood of a serpent, He said- "He is so terrible, but what can he do to the children of Dwarakamayi: When the Dwarakamayi (its presiding deity) protects, what can the serpent do?" Chapter 22 SAtcharita. BABA bless us and guide us always.
