Pearls of Devotion
64. Om Shri Sai Premaatmane Namah
[Salutations to Lord Sai who is love personified.]
Baba loves us ALL. He has no prejudices but showers His blessings on us equally.
Once, an officer from Himachal Pradesh who was also in charge of a school enquired about a teacher who was on leave without prior information. The teacher said that she was suffering from cancer and went to Chandigarh to consult a doctor. The officer had just then read a book on Baba “The man of miracles”. He immediately suggested the lady to visit Puttaparthi to get a solution to her problems. The officer also wanted to test the truth of what he had read in the book.
The lady with her sister embarked on a visit to Puttaparthi from Mumbai. But Baba had left for Chennai. So they went to Chennai. Baba was in the Sindhi Hall. When they reached the place, it was too crowded and they just had to stand in the gates praying for Baba to come near them. Her mind was restless and even accused the officer and Baba for their plight of not being able to talk to Baba. Yet, she held onto her faith and prayed to Baba. At that moment a volunteer approached her and confirmed if they were from Chandigarh. He gave them two packets of sacred ash, one for her and another he said was for Shivaji.
Later, she used the sacred ash. When she visited the doctor, there was no trace of cancer. She also found that the officer who had suggested to her to go to Baba was indeed Shivaji. Baba inadvertently has showered his grace and love on the teacher and the officer!
