Hard times always come to test our patience and
our devotion to Lord Sai Baba. Though we feel He is testing us, in the end we
conclude saying that It is our Lord Sai Baba Who has taken us out of all
situations and ultimately those tests are forgotten. Similar is experience of
below anonymous devotee.
Anonymous Devotee from Australia says: We have experienced presence of Baba in
our life many times and still continue to feel the same by His grace. We as a
family are blessed to be His devotees and therefore, understand each other's
emotions and feelings about our Sai Baba. Before writing further, I pray to Baba
to enable and allow me to share this miracle with His other devotees.
Hetal Ji, I love your portal and read it every day to give my soul some food and
energy. Please post this experience for other Sai devotees to read, but kindly
hold on my name and email id.
I and My husband were working in India till last year in reasonable positions.
However, we aspired to work and stay abroad. After 5-6 months of waiting, my
husband finally got an assignment in Australia and his employer promised it to
be Long Term (more than 1.5 years to begin with and extendable). Considering
this to be dream come true, we accepted it and I also resigned from my position
and we started preparing for our trip, which included, surrendering our house
(on rent) in India, selling/disposing off our household goods etc.
By Baba's grace everything went smooth and we arrived in Melbourne in August
2011 and started settling here. Things were going fine, until October 2011, when
my husband came to know that his assignment fore-closed and we may have to
return to India. We were totally shattered as we had no place to go back to
India and with my quitting the job. It would have been difficult to afford a
good life there. We were so worried and ran after all managers here to help us
because this was not as per the promise made to us. We were so frustrated that
so many times, in our mind we fought with Baba also and blamed Him for not
taking care of us and not saving us from this situation. We had lost our peace
of our mind and our home.
Finally, after everything, we got an extension of few weeks, but December end
was written down as a date of our return to India. We felt so helpless and
lonely.
One afternoon in the first week of December, I was browsing through internet and
suddenly came across this portal (I didn’t notice it though the name, but now I
realized that I read the pages from this portal). I also want to share that I
had heard about Saptah Parayan, but I had never attempted it, as I did not have
the confidence of doing it within a week's time. But that afternoon, when I came
across this web-site, I felt like reading more about Saptaah Parayan and I read
about it. Finally I decided that I am going to do it. I prayed to Baba that He
must help me in completing this Parayan and also forgive my mistakes that I may
make by losing my concentration while doing this Parayan.
It was Friday afternoon and by uttering Baba's name, I started my Parayan and by
Baba's grace, I could do my first day successfully. Believe me, It was a signal
for me from Baba that He is around. I was happy and at peace and told this to my
husband also.
We both decided to completely surrender to Baba and wait for His decision. While
I completed my Parayan, my husband supported me. I used to tell him stories from
Sai Satcharitra and we used to relate it to our life. We both have read Sai
Satcharitra many times in the past, but this time, we were actually experiencing
it.
As the Parayan progressed, we felt our mind so much at peace and we were able to
forget the stress we had. This was a miracle in itself. But Baba is not only
powerful, but also very kind. He had bigger plans. One company, where my husband
had applied few months back through his friend, called him to check if he was
available for interview process. We were happy, but we also knew that we had
very little time on our hand. We told him the whole situation and he too acted
fast by Baba's grace. Within few days, my husband had 2 rounds of interviews. We
cannot explain in words, but at all steps we felt Baba helping us. Finally, my
husband got the job and he was offered a full time position with them.
Our joy knew no bounds. We understood Baba is always there with us and He has
helped us even after we had no time and hope left for ourselves. We called our
parents in India and told them that "Baba ne hume sundar shella diya hai" (“Baba
gave me Shella”). Our parents understood that our problems got solved because
just the previous days we were talking about the Sai Satcharitra (chapter XLI)
where Baba tells BV Deo "I am sitting here ready to give you the whole
gold-embroidered Shella (valuable cloth), then why go to others to steal rags,
and why should you get into the habit of stealing?". We interpret this as when
Baba is there to help us, why ask others.
Dear Devotees, from our experience, we can say that while it is important that
we make all human efforts for living a happy life as per our wishes, but having
full "Shraddha" and "Saburi" in our Baba makes us a stronger and balanced
person, which is the key to all happiness and peace in this life. Sai
Satcharitra is a holy book for us that guide us on ways to lead our life and
attain the objective of this human life granted to us.
I pray to Baba to be with all His children and guide them to happiness and
peace.
Sadguru Sainath Maharaj Ki Jai. Jai Sai Ram!
