Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Sairam, Happy Baba's day to you all. BABA's grace and blessings shower on one and all, may BABA keep us all away from the harms way. Today is Thursday, thinking of Baba, I sought HIS guidance and assurance for us, the SAi family spread world across. I sought HIS grace for those suffering, for those waiting for His grace, for those waiting for problems to be resolved, for health to be restored, for those seeking jobs, for those praying for children and those who have been knocking on HIS door for many days/weeks/months/years without any respite. And BABA's message for all of us in this world is... Mr Cholkar's Sugarless Tea.. ..... As Mr. Cholkar was anxious to fulfill his vow as early as possible, he resolved to economize, cut down his expenses, and save money. He determined not to use sugar in his diet; and began to take his tea without it. After he was able to save some money in this way, he came to Shirdi, took Baba's darshan, fell at His Feet, offered a coconut, distributed it with a clean conscience along with sugar-candy as per his vow and said to Baba that he was much pleased with His darshan and that his desires were fulfilled that day. Mr. Cholkar was in the Masjid with his host Bapusaheb Jog. When the host and the guest both got up and were about to leave the Masjid, Baba spoke to Jog as follows:- "Give him (your guest) cups of tea, fully saturated with Sugar." Hearing these significant words, Mr. Cholkar was much moved, he was wonderstruck, his eyes were bedewed with tears, and he fell at Baba's Feet again. Mr. Jog was also curious about this direction, regarding the tea-cups to be given to his guest. Baba wanted by His words to create faith and devotion in Cholkar's mind. He hinted as it were, that He got the sugar-candy as per his vow and that He knew full well his secret determination not to use sugar in his diet. Baba meant to say, "If you spread your palms with devotion before Me, I am immediately with you, day and night. Though, I am here bodily, still I know what you do; beyond the saven seas. Go wherever you will, over the wide world, I am with you. My abode is in your heart and I am within you. Always worship Me, Who is seated in your heart, as well as, in the hearts of all beings, Blessed and fortunate, indeed, is he who knows Me thus." Chapter 15 'Satcharita. Everytime we lose hope, and our faith waivers, then let us humbly read SAtcharita, talk about BABA, hear HIS leelas, this will restore our faith and increase our devotion. There is delay in HIS dubar but one never goes empty handed. BABA is the master, LEt us beg HIM to give us strength to keep faith and patience. HE will Guide us and help us through. All may forsake us but Not BABA. HE is the only one who will stand by us day and night. All we have to do is surrender to HIM with devotion and faith.
