O Sadguru, a million salutations to you! A simple devotee like me is blessed to have Your grace. You have consistently extricated me out of any adversity and have always shown me a new path. Due to my workload, I do not get sufficient time to do your devotion. Yet, you have always rushed to my help. My family and I offer our prayers at Your feet.
It has been about 8-9 years since I started attending Bapu’s discourses. I regularly attend the Upasana on Saturdays as well. Even if I have a lot of work, I try to make it to the Upasana. So be it summer or monsoon or even late in the night, I know that my Sadguru is always with me and hence I travel without any fear.
On 11 January 2011, we faced an enormous calamity. However, my Sadguru took care of this situation. In the evening, my daughter and I were cleaning the vegetables in the kitchen. My 4-year-old grandson was present in the kitchen as well.
I asked my daughter to continue, as I had to light the lamp in the Devghar (place in the household where the images of Gods are kept). I left the kitchen and my grandson followed me. My daughter got up, covered the vessel full of vegetables and kept it on the kitchen counter, and stood near the counter.
Suddenly, I heard a loud cracking sound. I rushed to the kitchen. I found that the tube light in the kitchen had burst and it fell right at the spot where we were sitting a while earlier! The floor was full of shattered glass. The first thing that came to our mind was how Bapu had saved us from this situation. We were overwhelmed by His love.
Everyone rushed from the main room into the kitchen. They did not know what had happened. But, we knew that Bapu had ensured our safety. The vegetables were not wasted either as they had just been covered before this incident.
It is true that Bapu, Nandaai and Suchit Dada take care of us all the time. But, we do not realize and appreciate Their love till such incidents happen. Had we not got up from the place where the tube light fell we either would have been dead or would have been grievously injured.
As Sai Baba had said that those who enter the Dwarakamai, would sail smoothly in the journey of life. Similarly, Bapu has said that He will never forsake us.
Truly, Bapu we are indebted to you and we are grateful for that. Please let us devote our entire life for Your devotion and service. This is the only prayer we offer at Your feet.
