Satsang Baba's Udi Miracles
Baba's Udi MiraclesWe 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"
