Om Sai Ram

I wish to start my post by saying thank you to Sai Baba and to all who are helping us to get close to HIM. 

Sai Baba has done many, many miracles in my life, some of which I took for granted that this was supposed to happen, some for which I have been eternally grateful, and for some which I have accepted as his prasad. 

I am 43 years of age now, and I can see the different phases and different levels of spiritual learning I have been through as I grow older. Everything is making more sense now – why, what, who, how – it’s all Baba’s blessing. All I have to do is accept it. I always think the total trust in HIM is like the trust game we play – where you have to fall back, keeping trust that the other person behind you will not let you fall. The other person here is Sai Baba. Have complete trust and full faith in Him. HE knows what HE’s doing and HE loves you – what else would anyone else want.  

I want to share one recent Sai Baba blessing – Not too long ago, on 1st April I went to the GP to get a mole checked. As I went to the GP reception, I checked in myself and sat at the chairs waiting to be called. Deep down in my heart, I knew the mole was nothing to worry about. I’ll be in and out in a flash.

I opened Facebook while I was waiting, and guess what came up. My Baba’s message, something along the lines – it’ll take time, but there is nothing to worry. HE’ll not let anything happen to me.

I read the message and thought, not sure why this message came – as deep down I knew the Dr would say there is nothing wrong – case closed. 

The Dr. called me. She checked, and as I expected, she said it didn’t look worrisome. But she will discuss it with the senior Dr. I said sure and came home.

While I was doing my prayers in the evening, I received a message from the same Dr that the senior Dr wants to examine the mole with his medical magnifying glass and take pictures. My heartbeat raised, I thought – seriously! Where did this come from? Of course, I was scared.

Then suddenly, I remembered my Baba’s message, and within minutes I calmed down. His word is never untrue.

I accepted the appointment – it was a 2-week wait. Imagine, if I had not gotten Baba’s message – how would I have felt. I would have googled and made the situation worse. But, this time, I knew that Baba has already assured me and there was nothing to worry. I prayed to Baba that if it is cancerous, then the surgery be after my son’s exams, and my hospital appointments don’t disrupt my husband’s and kid’s schedule.

I knew Baba was with me.

I started reading Sai Satcharitra every day. I promised my Baba that I will do aan daan and write my experience to tell everyone to have shraddha and saburi – Sai baba is in control of everything.

Some days I felt tense, but I remembered Baba’s message and became calm. After 2 weeks, the senior Dr saw me – he also assured me all is ok and there is nothing to worry. I came back home happy.

Again, after 2 weeks the senior Dr called me on my phone and said that he now has a powerful magnifying glass and wishes to see me again. My heartbeat became fast again – I didn’t know why this was happening?

I remembered my Baba, my Guru – all will be well. HE is with me. Maybe it’s a testing time, and maybe he wants the best treatment for me.

After 1 week, I met the senior Dr again. He said that he wants to be absolutely sure from his side and wants to refer me to the cancer clinic. I said sure – I knew that Baba is doing all this. I received a call to arrange an appointment time to visit the clinic. They told me the specialist is available on 9th May.

Somewhere deep down I knew the significance of the number 9 – I had read in the Sai Satcharitra. Another indication – Baba is with me. I could either worry and make things worse or trust HIM. I chose to trust HIM.

After another 2 weeks, on 9th May, I went to the clinic – praying to Baba to come with me. I knew Baba was doing all this, and I needed to have faith and patience. I need not worry – if they do find something, then it’ll be ok as Baba is with me, and it is all his doing.

It literally took me 5 mins – in and out of the specialist’s office – a lovely lady, she looked at it and said it’s nothing. I thanked Baba and left her office. 

At every step, I knew Baba was with my family and me. He was making the right people come in my way to help me. HE hinted me from day 1 that this would take time, but there is nothing to worry. HE’ll not let anything happen to me.

I wish and pray that I have the same faith and trust that I had this time at every step of my life. It’s a beautiful feeling – when you know that you cannot control the situation and you leave everything to HIM – HE will take care of everything.

Om Sai Ram Ji
