Message for the week.

[Guest guest]

Sairam,

 

Happy Baba's day to you all. BABA bless us and protect us always.

 

We read Satcharita regularly and have been doing parayan since last few years. Have we applied the principles taught by Baba in our life? Are we worthy to receive His grace to understand and interpret it to suite our situations... If our devotion is sincere and have strong faith, Yes Baba will surely grace us and give us the ability to interpret and understand His messages to fit in with every situation we find. Today I had the urge to look up by horoscope on the internet, then I remembered one article sent earlier in this group about How baba asked a devotee to stop believing in astrologers and go ahead with his work and have faith in Him. I did not look into the forecast, I cannot say I completly disbelieve in astrologers, there is a part of me that wants to seek a psychic advise on difficult situations, but Baba takes care to see I do not wander from my path of devotion. And today I asked for a message for me which I could learn from it and apply to my life. Here is the message for me and I am sure it would be applicable to your situation too...

 

"Lala Lakshmichand

 

It is always the experience of the Bhaktas that God always helps

them in their search for Sad-guru and other spiritual endeavours. That very

night at 8-00 p.m. a friend named Shankarrao knocked at his door and asked him

whether he would accompany him to Shirdi. His joy knew no bounds and he at once

decided to go to Shirdi. He borrowed Rs.15/- from his cousin and after making

due preparations left for Shirdi. In the train, he and his friend Shankar Rao

did some Bhajan (sang religious songs) and enquired about Sai baba with some

fellow passengers-four Mahomedans, who were returning to their place near

Shirdi. They all told tham that Sai baba was a great Saint living in Shirdi for

many years. Then when they reached Kopergaon he wanted to buy some good guavas

for offering to Baba, but he was so much enrapt with the scenery and sights

there, that he forgot to purchase them. When they were nearing Shirdi, he was

reminded of the guavas; just then he saw an old woman with a guava-basket on her

head, running after the tanga. The tanga was stopped and he gladly purchased

some select fruits, when the woman said - "Take all the rest and offer them on

my behalf to Baba". The facts viz. that he had intended to purchase guavas, but

that he had forgotten to do so, the old woman's encounter and her devotion to

Baba, all these were a surprise to both the friends; and Lakhamichand thought in

his mind, that the old woman might be some relation of the old man he saw in his

dream. Then they drove on and came near Shirdi and seeing the flags on the

Masjid they saluted them. With Puja materials in hand, they then went to the

Masjid and worshipped Baba with due formality. Lakhmichand was much moved and

was extremely happy to see Baba. He was enrapt with Baba's Feet as a bee with a

sweet smelling lotus. Then Baba spoke as follows :-

"Cunning fellow, he does bhajan on the way and enquires from others. Why ask

others? Everything we should see with our own eyes; where is the necessity to

question others? Just think for yourself whether your dream is true or not?

Where was the necessity of the darshan by taking a loan from a Marwari? Is the

heart's desire now satisfied?""Chapter 28 SSS

 

Baba bless us and guide us always.
