Baba Showers His Grace at the Right Time


Baba listens to our prayers and showers His grace. But this is not as we wish or as we expect it. He is always at our back to protect us. This is evident in His creation. It takes enough time for a child to take birth, for a flower to bloom, for a tree to grow, for a blade of grass to rise. Likewise, Baba takes His own time to shower His grace on us. But lacking patience, we pester Baba for overnight results. He will deliberately delay, inspite of our prayers, to ensure that we understand His teachings. Baba waits until the effects of our Karma, or past actions, are exhausted and we are ripe and ready to receive His Divine Grace. Not appreciating Baba's love for us, we blame Him with ill-intent, unaware that what Baba delays are not deliberate denials, but lessons in patience (Saburi) He wants to teach us.

The miraculous way Baba healed people suffering from chronic diseases such as eye ailments, leprosy, tuberculosis etc., are incredible and unique. The love of Baba can instantly heal the sick, once they repent for their sins and resolve to live uprightly. We are struck with fear in times of danger and it robs us of the sense of discretion. We need not doubt that Baba may not respond to our prayers. The All-Merciful Baba forgets our blunders, forgives our sins, hugs us as Divine Mother He is and makes us happier as we fervently love and pray to Him.

Oh Baba! Bale Me Out of the Stress-Filled Life


The journey of civilization had its beginning in the Old Stone Age and going towards space odyssey. In the mad pursuit of name, prestige, money and lust for power, man has become restless, making life a never-ending struggle. We have come to a stage to view that life is an endless race for achieving things but we are unable to justify the race. The moment one wakes up in the morning, one is occupied with the thoughts of home, family, children, employment, business and so on. Man's life has become a mechanical entity-cheerless and restless.


While the poor man aims at earning some money, the rich are greedy of acquiring more and more wealth. This leads to unending desires and tensions creep in, ultimately turning life into a stress-filled, monotonous journey. One must realize that continual craving for carnal pleasures will end up one's life in utter misery. It is like chasing a mirage of joy in the desert of life. The secret of stress-free joy of living lies in the meditation on God. We must get out of the hustle and bustle of daily life to steal a few moments for contemplation of God. 


Of what use our lives are, if we do not pay heed to the word of Baba and meditate on His Form? Let us pray to Baba to free our minds from the vice-like grip of tensions and stresses to enable us to leap into His Lap of Love and Peace.

I shall be Ever Active and Vigorous Even After Leaving this Earthly Body


A doubt creeps in many, whether God would protect them or not despite offering regular prayers. But, we need not get such a doubt in the case of Baba, because He assured "I am Ever-Active and vigorous even after leaving this Earthly Body". God will assume human form to save the humanity, console them and move them on to the right path by teaching human values and finally makes them to be like Him. "Though I am shedding My mortal coil, I shall never leave the precincts of your minds", thus assured Baba. Physical body is composed of five elements viz., earth, water, fire, air and sky. 

'Ever-Active' is one of the key words in Baba's assurance to us. 


Despite His absence in body, the ever-watchful Sai protects His devotees at all times. He is aware of the pregnancy of Mainatayi, daughter of Nana Saheb in Jamnagar and saved her life from the pangs of birth and blessed her deliver a baby safely by sending the sacred ash with Bhavagiri Bapu. Likewise, He slaked Nanachandorkar's thirst on the hill of Harischandra. Again by thrusting His hand into the fire-place at Dwarakamayi, Baba could hold and save a child from falling into the burning furnace in the house of an iron smith. Even after His Samadhi, Baba has been safeguarding the lives of millions of His devotees.
