God's Miracle - share your story

I got this fwd mail from my uncle....


Anonymous Devotee from USA says: This happened, when I was living in India. Please do not disclose my identity. Since the following question arises in many of our minds,
Sairam. Before I start writing about the miracle, I want to pose a question to all Sai brothers and sisters: Why is it that some devotees seem to get their prayers answered quickly and some never seems to be able to get their prayers answered? Is Baba partial to some devotees? Even for one devotee why some prayers get answered quickly and some takes ages to get answered? I thought a lot about it and want to put forward my thoughts and Baba, please help me.

Baba said, "My grace is showering on everyone equally like rain. Some have their vessels turned upside down and cannot receive my grace". If I may add, some have it turned upright sometimes and some have small vessels and some big. What does it take to get His grace in abundance and bath in it all the while? Please comment based on your experiences and views.
I think it all boils down to Shraddha, Faith. If you read the miracles on this blog closely, you will notice that the devotees believed deep in their hearts. At one point or the other, Baba is going to come to their rescue. Wishing and Believing are two different things. Every one of us wish good things for ourselves, wishes does not matter. I am talking about what we believe deep in our heart. We might be saying “Baba, please help!” hundreds of times with our lips, but deep within, we may be thinking “what if He does not help?”, “what should my backup plan be?”, “whom else should I approach?”. If you are sure Baba is going to come to your rescue, one sincere prayer is enough. Wishes come from mind, but faith comes from heart. He is in-dweller of hearts. We can pray for the faith (and we should). But I believe that it is our purushartha, duty or sadhana that we should increase our faith. If you read the Baba’s quote in the second paragraph, you can almost feel His helplessness, when our vessels are turned upside down. By all means He wants to help us. He is more than a mother.
How do we increase our faith? (Again please comment). I think two things:

Do not entertain the doubt. Switch to other thoughts or to the thoughts of Baba and His Leelas, as and when it arises in our mind, over a period of time it will start to decline.
Ananthah Chintha Yanthomaa. Think of Him and His Leelas all the time. And Love Him. Love is the shortest route to Him.
It was back in 1983 or so. I was traveling from town X to Z by bus (names withheld purposefully). There was no direct bus, so I had to switch the bus in town Y. When I started my journey, I was thinking of Baba, imagining Him fill all the space, I can see outside of the bus and blissfully singing of His songs and feeling His presence and chatting with Him etc. Town Y arrived and I got down the bus and checked my wallet after walking a few steps. It was not there. I rushed back to the bus and searched, but it was not there. Probably because of my spiritual mood I was in, it did not worry me. I did not have a single penny (no mobiles those days). I just continued to chat with Him. Here you go Baba, what are Your plans for me. If you are thinking I am going to beg anybody for money, I am sorry. I am Your son. It is Your duty to come and rescue. One more thing Baba, I am not even going to tell anyone that I lost my wallet. So it is totally up to You. I want to see how You will come and rescue me. I went and sat on a bench. I was not worried. I was bubbling with excitement as to what that miracle is going to be.

The Bus to town Z arrived. I continued to wait. After a while, the driver started the bus. I went and stood near the bus and said, “Come on Baba, come on. Hurry up. How are You going to buy me the ticket?” Someone sitting inside the bus near window somehow thought I was to catch this bus. He said, “Hey, the bus has started. Why are you not alighting the bus?” I only said, “I lost my wallet”. Without even thinking much he said, “If you stand there and wait, you will not reach the destination. Come inside I will pay for you”. I went in and he paid for me. He said, he worked for Syndicate Bank in that town and gave me his name and branch details.
There are several other things that happened in the bus that showed Baba’s grace. Dear friends, I do not have this kind faith always. I falter too. I have my ups and downs. But just thought I will share with you how faith propels Him to come to you.
He says, “Cast all your burdens on Me, I shall bear them”. That is surrender. Mark of surrender is that we are not worried any more. We are at peace. He is the driver of the chariot. We only do our duty as His instruments. It is difficult said than done. But that is the goal of life.

 

Tuffy,

I believe in God(Lrd ganesha) 200 %. I believe that every happening in my life is according to his will and wish and ultimately for my well being...

There are lots of incidents which i basically DO NOT want to elaborate...but let me give a gist of few of them...

a. I would have been jobless by now as i was about to Quit almost two times due to some personal reasons...and both the times there was some force stopping me ..I used to seriously wonder why things are happening totally against me...But thinking of those incidents now ,I feel that the "Short Term Miseries are for Long Term Happiness".

b. I was badly affected with Chicken Pox during my Eighth Month of Pregnancy. More than the Physical Pain, the thought of taking Antibiotics was tearing me in to pieces. People used to sympathize me and i was totally in Self Pity Mode. I was so much worried about the little bean inside me . With the Help of Ganesha's Grace, My hubby,Parents and In laws support i was able to recover and deliver a healthy Boy Baby with Normal delivery. My Ds is now almost 4 years old and as a gift from God, my Ds is blessed with Cute Ganesha's ears (Bigger as compared to Normal children) and he is Highly intelligent.

Well i am getting too emotional now...thats it from me as of now....

This is an email forward i received from my uncle dear mmrajee

 

Currently I am almost kind of jobless awaiting for some good to happen..Reading the above infos giving me lot of hope.I am calming myself and saying everything is happening for good.

 

I am Rekha. I am proud to to say that I am a devotee of saibaba. I was a girl who used to never look at him initially. I used to never visit Baba's temple ,was a different kind of person. In 2008 I was attacked by many problems in Life. My father was detected with cancer, my married life also was in a shaky condition. I used to cry everyday and was always very sad and depressed. One Night before I went to sleep I was just thinking of all the problem and with tears still in my eyes, I slept and I saw a wonderful dream of baba. I saw in my dream that while I am sleeping my door bell rang and I wokeup and opened the door. On opening the door, I saw 4 men standing with a huge Portrait of Baba outside. As soon as I opened the door, they came inside and kept the Portrait near my Bed and they vanished. I woke up and was just looking around. I was surprised as how could saibaba come in my dream. Next day when I came to office I got an invitation email of devotees group of Saibaba to join as it is voluntary. I joined, then I became a different person. Naam japam, reading sai satcharitra became a part of my life and gradually my mind started becoming strong to face problems, I became a totally different person. soon I came across Indusladies group which made my life very beautiful Today I am a proud and adoring daughter of my dear Saibaba. May Baba keep blessing all such girls who are helpless and make them strong.

Om sairam
