Swamiji's Offer of Job

By M. R. Sanjeev

I am a devotee of H. H. Radhakrishna Swamiji since childhood. It is indeed a

great privilege which is only due to merits of my previous births that I was

associated with this " great God " who existed amidst us in flesh and blood. I

have followed his instructions to chant 'Vishnu Sahasra Namam' and this has

protected me as a shield.

 

After my matriculation, I underwent Industrial Apprentice Training and was

employed in a private factory. Soon by Sainath Swamiji's grace, I got a job

in Government service. I was posted at Holenarasipur as an Instructor in the

Industrial Training Institute there. With the blessings of Swamiji and Sai

Baba, I reported for duty.

 

For three months there was no problem. Suddenly I was told that some persons

have filed a writ petition in the High Court challenging our appointments.

While I was happy all along that I got a Government job without any

influence or bribe but by the grace of Sai Baba and Swamiji, this

information was a bolt from the blue.

 

I do not know how many times I have repeated Vishnu Sahasra Namam and

remembered Swamiji on this dreadful day. Ultimately I left it to Sai and

Swamiji that let no circumstance be changed but change my attitude to

receive everything in a spirit of surrender. Then I slept off. I had a dream

that night. I was standing in front of a Raghavendra Mutt. Two old men were

singing bhajans. While one said 'SADGURUNATH', the other said SAINATH. Then

they switched over, to SATCHI DAN AN DA and SAI PADA-NANDA. As I heard the

name 'SAIPADANANDA' I offered my pranams to them. They blessed me and told

me that I need not worry about losing my job. Then the dream ended.

 

True to the indication given in my dream, I was continued in my appointment.

When Sai Baba and Swamiji are protecting me in every moment of my life, why

should I at all worry?
