‘Baba’ the very sound resonates in many of us. We pray to him, tell him our worries, our wishes and make him our divine core. One of the promises of Baba to his devotees:
‘Wherever you are , whatever you do , it never misses my sight.’
On last Friday, 7th August, I was visiting an Indian shopping place for groceries which is far from my place. Since COVID, I planned to shop and stock groceries for few months so that I do not need to go back outside again and again into the crowds. I visited Ravi ji’s home to have my healing session. She was kind enough, for the last 4 months Ravi ji did not meet any clients as she has old parents at home, as Baba guided her, she asked me to come home.
God’s plans are always perfect. When I was leaving she did suggest that I have loads of shopping and it is advisable to go by taxi. As my home was too far and taxi would be expensive, I said that it was ok and I could manage and left her home. When I was leaving she gave me a cover in which there were two old Sai Satcharitras and Baba’s statue. She asked me to immerse them in the river near my home.
I was chanting Baba’s name and it was a very hot day. The shopped items were too heavy. I managed and changed trains. When I got down the tube and was getting on the escalator, in a blink of eye my foot slipped. At that point, I had at least 50 kg weight of grocery bags with me. Two people held me and everybody wondered how I did not fall but was saved by them, but I felt Baba saved me. It would have been a fatal accident.
I was thinking all the way how did I even not get hurt and nothing happened. As I was thinking, reached home and dropped all the stuff. I took the packet which Ravi ji gave me to immerse in the river as it is outside our home.
As I stared putting the items in the river, I noticed that the statue was broken into half. I heard a loud voice from the sky. It said:
” To protect my devotees, I shall take the wounds and pain. I will never forsake you”
The statue was meant by fate to be immersed in the river, but what can I say. Baba’s statue, his pictures are full of his gracious form. Even before flowing through, he served the purpose of saving me. His love is immeasurable and he is watching everything and can do anything for his loved ones which is us devotees.
