A Warning:
Sri Sai Baba showered his benefits on thousands in a
variety of ways. Some only of these have been revealed 
to this writer; and these may be a sample of his gift to 
others. But one cannot be sure that the highest have been 
yet made public. However that may be, before proceeding 
to give a very brief sketch of these, the writer has one 
request to make or a warning to give. Persons who are great 
admirers of particular saints, like Krishna Chaitanya, 
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Samartha Ramdas, Haranath 
or Thayumanava, should not judge others exclusively by the 
life, teachings and methods of their saint or hero. Let not 
Sri Sai Baba be measured on the Procreates bed of any 
particular saint. Sri Sai is a rare phenomenon by himself and 
his services to Humanity, if judged calmly, would be found 
great enough to require a special corner in our pantheon and 
a readjustment of our ideas based wholly on a few past 
examples. In the words of Browning (As adapted) we must
insist,
Our times are in His hand, Who said "A whole I planned, past 
shows but half; Trust God, see all, nor be afraid". Add this to 
the rest, Take it and try its worth.
Attitude to Suffering
Examine yourself, and you find that you deserve all your 
suffering and more. You, Be satisfied with the condition in 
which God pieces Suffering becomes sweet when you are 
with Him. Comfort yourself with Him who holds you fastened 
to the Cross. Consider sickness as coming from the hand of 
God, an act of mercy designed to turn the mind inward.
God is the one physician for all maladies: rely on other.
No Rely more on physic than on God, and you retard your 
own recovery. Put your whole trust in Him, and lay aside all 
fears and cares.
