Om Sai Ram
What you give is what you get - I firmly believe in these words of Shri Sai Nath. In accordance to my title, I hereby humbly post another similar experience of mine with that of Sai Satcharithra.
One special peculiarity of Shirdi-pilgrimage was this, that none could leave Shirdi, without Sai Baba's permission; and if they did, it invited untold sufferings, but if any one was asked to quit Shirdi, he could stay there no longer. Sai Baba gave certain suggestions or hints, when Bhaktas went to bid good-bye and take leave. These suggestions had to be followed. If they were not followed or were departed from, accidents were sure to befall them, who acted contrary to Sai Baba's directions. This has been explained in Chapter 9 of Sai Satcharithra in various contexts. I will now give a similar incident which we (me and my husband) faced.
It was 10th November and a Wednesday. The next day we were about to visit Shri Sai temple at Mylapore, Chennai. My husband had to attend an interview on Wednesday since he was hunting for a job in India (though Baba blessed him with an offer abroad). There were many indications given by Baba saying not to waste time and attend the interview. I was taken for an ultra sound scan on the same day. We both reached home at 12 noon, had lunch and my husband was getting ready to leave. Within a few minutes, the clouds became darker and started to pour heavily. I tried convincing my husband saying Baba has shown us a sign not to move, so its better that you dont go. My husband just wanted to give up a try, since he had given a word. Finally, after the rain stopped, he started from home at 2 PM. He had to be in the office by 5 PM and the travel is too long such that one cant reach the place within the stipulated time.
He reached the spot by 5.30 PM and managed to see the concern person. By the time, the manager came, it was about 6.30 PM. The interview got over by 7.30 PM and from there another 3 hours of travel, during which the bus he travelled was punctured. No wonder, that he did not get selected for the job too. It was 10.30 in the night to get back home. This made me remind about how one can undergo so much of sufferings if Baba's words are dis-obeyed. Though Baba did not give a big punishment, this was sufficient to know what he had in-store for us.
Baba, putting together all my emotions on your feet, please do make me write more of your leelas.....
Jai Sai Ram
