It is interesting to note, how Sri Sai Baba encouraged good thoughts.

You have to surrender yourself completely to Him with love, and

devotion, and then, you will see, how He helps you, off and on, in so

many things. Some saint has said that, when you get a good thought,

immediately after awakening from sleep, and if you develop the same

afterword, during the day, your intellect will be unfolded and your

mind will attain calmness. Shri Hemadpant wanted to try this.

 

On one Wednesday night, before going to bed, he thought : " Tomorrow is

Thursday an auspicious day and the place, viz., Shirdi is so holy; so

let me pass the whole day in remembering and celebrating the Ram Naam " ,

and then he slept. Next morning, when he got up, he remembered, without

any effort, the name of Ram and was much pleased. He then, after

finishing his morning duties, went to see Sri Sai Baba with flowers.

When he left Dixit Wada, and was just passing Butti Wada [

Samadhi Mandir] he heard a beautiful song, that was being sung nicely

by one Aurangabadkar, in the Masjid, before Sri Sai Baba.

 

The song was " Guru-kripanjan payo mere bhai " , in which he says that, he

got colloquium in the form of his Guru's grace, which opened his vision

and made him see Ram, in and out, in sleep, dream, and waking state and

everywhere. There were so many songs; but why was this

song, particularly chosen by Aurangabadkar. Is this not a curious

coincidence arranged by Sri Sai Baba to amplify the determination of

Shri Hemadpant to sung unceasingly Ram Naam during the day.

 

All saints agree on and lay stress upon the efficacy of uttering Ram's

name, in fulfilling the ambitions of the Bhaktas and in protecting and

saving them from all calamities.-- OM GURU NATHASAI GURU NATHA
