Satsang Baba's Udi Miracles by The Late M. Narasimha Rao,

Baba's Udi Miracles
We are well-conversant with numerous miracles of Baba's Udi (Sacred ash or
Vibhuti) from study of Sai-Satcharitra. We also share with great interest
the numerous personal experiences of our Sai-brothers and Sai-sisters
regarding the same when we open the pages of the reputed Journal "Shri
Sai-Leela".

I am also tempted to narrate herewith some of my personal experiences about
Udi. It may not be out of place to refer to my previous article in Hindi
"Vibhuti Ki Alaukik Leela" (Shri Sai-Leela December '83). It is interesting
to note that the Tin Box, in which the School Mistress was supplied a small
quantity of Udi from our house about 10 years back, is never empty up till
now, though Udi is being taken out from the box daily for her own use and
for other members of her family. Thanks due to Mahaprabhu's touch, prayed
that he should continue to be afflicted with the disease, as only then, his
thoughts would be always centered on the Lord, he said, Ordinary people rail
at Cod even for little adversities in life, holding Him responsible though
they are only reaping the consequences of their past misdeeds.

Yet, there is the famous example of Kunti Devi, the mother of the Pandava
princes who prayed to Sri Krishna that she be visited ever with disasters
and distress every now and then, so that she could always remember the Lord!
What a strange prayers they were to the Supreme Lord by His sincere
devotees!

Kuchela (Sudhama) a classmate of Shree Krishna when he visited the latter
has absolutely forgotten to request for financial help though he was very
poor. One should never have or experience "Penuary" of heart in praying to
God.

One need not ask or seek any thing from the Supreme Lord who is omniscient,
omnipresent, and omnipotent. He ever knows well His devotees' plight and
whether one craves or not for His Divine help it simply flows to His
devotees in times of need or an 'Emergency' This is the experience of God's
true bhaktas. Lord Vishnu rescued His Devotee Gajendra after the latter
completely surrendered himself to His divine will after his great struggle
and after severe test he was put to by the God. Several Legends and Leelas
of God amply testify about this baffling Divine ways or Leelas of God.

Our Akhilanda Koti, Brahmanda Nayaka, Yogadhi Raja, Sachhitananda,
Parabrahma, Samarth Sadguru Shree Sai Nath Maha Raj knows well as to what
should be granted, and when to be granted, irrespective of His Devotees
prayers for His boons according to their eligibility for His boons to
receive them at the appropriate time and place as per His Divine will. The
Leelas in Sri Sat Charita are replete with such anecdotes graphically giving
the experiences of ankita children of Shree Saibaba of Shirdi.

Even though one casts his burden on His divine shoulders, and looks up to
Him for His help and guidance, he, must practice tooth and nail His two (2)
great commands to Shraddha (i.e. faith with devotion) and Saburi (i.e.
Courage with Patience) to become eligible for Shree Sai Baba's Divine grace
in life! He says "Ever carry Me, in your heart!" from His Mahasamadhi, which
is effectively communicating and speaking to His true devotees day by day!

Jai Sai Ram! "Let us Bow to Shree Sai — Be Peace be to All"
