FROM PUTTAPARTHI...WHEN THE PSYCHIATRIST GOT PSYCHED !!!

July 2, 2008

Dr. Samuel Sandweiss, an eminent Psychiatrist from California, USA said: I wondered, "What is the meaning of this life?" What is all of this around me, all of this creation around me? Is it just a social life? Is it a material life?" Then I thought, perhaps I will learn a little bit more about it in psychiatry, so I went to school and became a psychiatrist.

So, why are we born? Who could answer that? What's the purpose of this life when we all die with nothing in our hands? What's the purpose when there's such a brief moment? Look at the stars and the skies. We are here for such a small moment! Why are we here? Just to buy a car, or a big house? What does all that mean?

Then I heard about Sai Baba and the stories were all together of a different dimension! You can't even measure this dimension!!! He knew everybody who came to Him. He knew who they were, all about them and could tell them about themselves. He could materialize what a person was thinking!

I said, "Wait! I'm from a scientific background. What do you mean He could materialize something that you're thinking? Or materialize an object?" You know what that means to science if there was really somebody like that!

Some said, "He can cure illnesses, can be at more places at once, and even raise the dead!" I didn't believe a word, but I was interested. How could something like this happen? "Go see Him," they said, "and when you do, He can change you and then you won't change back!

I landed in Mumbai & I heard that Sai Baba was going to be at a stadium and 50,000 people would be there to see Him. I walked out my building and I was going to the cab-station, and all of a sudden Sai Baba passes me and goes into this very same apartment building. I was stunned! My scientific mind knew this was almost impossible. So I quickly went back to the apartment that He was at – it was on the 9th floor. He was in a room with the people who owned this apartment & He came out & went away!!!

I raced towards the stadium. It was a big football field. When I got there, it was too late to even get in. SWAMI was way in the distance. I just watched Him, and as I watched, this small little figure turned and started walking towards me! It was the distance of an entire football field, and He came slowly, slowly, slowly, right up to the gate where I was, and just stood there in Bliss!

Then I went to Bangalore to His ashram where He was having a summer school in Indian Culture and Spirituality. And there were about 1000 students on the grounds. Other people were there: professors from around India; yogis from around India; people from other parts of the world were there to speak to youngsters. SWAMI would speak every evening.

I saw him moving His hand in the air and this big necklace came out of His hand! I was very close and shaken, because something inside me broke. Now you know that we have seen magicians, but I knew this was really happening; I knew it wasn't a magic trick.

At the end of the day, Swami had just given a talk and I was at a distance from Him. A wall separated us; a whole house separated me from where He was at the back of this big backyard to the front of the house. I was sitting very dejected and all of a sudden, He came around the corner and came right up to me with His eyes beaming!

He gave me 2 little pieces of candy and said, "Sweets! Sweets! Eat!" He came right up to me! It was the first time He made this kind of a contact.

There was this lady from South Africa who went into the book store inside the ashram. There are 100s of titles in 40 or more languages – and she bought a book, went outside and opened it. Inside was a letter to her from Sai Baba!!! And the letter was written in German, which was a language that she knew!!!

It read, "You are living your life on a small beam of light. You're playing the funny game between the elephant and the mouse. The elephant looks at the mouse and thinks it's the mouse. But you're not a mouse, and you're not an elephant; you're not even a human being: you are God! You're the All-Embracing Light that lights the entire Universe! You're All-Knowing power – you're Pure Love!"

The letter was dated in the 'future' – about a week in the future!!! And on that day, Sai Baba picked her out of the crowd and brought her into the interview room and told her the same thing that was in that letter!!!
