Shirdi Saibaba-The Eye Opener

Monday, July 21 2008Is it Faith or blind faith? Hundreds of devotees thronged the door step of one Mr. Babu and His wife Lakshmi who reside in Gavipura, Kempegowdanagar, Bangalore to catch the glimpse of Sri Shirdi Saibaba's statue glimpsing through an eye opened wide on 18th July 2008 . It is also said that He opened His eyes later in a temple in Yelahanka, Bangalore. It is to be noted that the day was Guru Poornima, an auspicious day to render one's worship to one's Guru.The event provoked a long serpentine queue to flow continuously into Mr. Babu's home that resulted in mounting money. Well is it a farce or a fact? Did Baba really open His eyes ? It is left to

the devotee to believe or disbelieve.A Baba's devotee envisions Baba within himself day in day out. He is surely aware of Baba's eyes wide open to His cares and His arms widely stretched out as well, to comfort those who seek refugee in Him. Baba touches each and everyone's life in a very personal way, like that of a flower that sends out its fragrance in the most subtlest way.Since Baba was a great miracle worker, it is natural to believe in any happenings connected with Him. However we never question strange happenings wrapped in a religious covering that awe inspire the world.

The event provoked a long serpentine queue to flow continuously into Mr. Babu's home that resulted in mounting money.

Faith or blind faith, it is however in the hands of Baba to tend His sheep without being tethered within the limits of superficial convictions. After all He is the eye opener, the spiritual eye opener who dissolves all illusions in His infinite illumination.
