Shri Sai Sat Charitra-Chapter 30-Part IV

It is said that a dream, which we get in the early hours of the morning, generally comes true in the walking state. This may be so, but regarding Baba's dreams there is no restriction of time. To quote an instance, Baba told Kakasaheb Dixit one afternoon to go to Rahata and fetch Khushalchand to Shirdi, as He had not seen him since long. Kakasaheb accordingly took a tanga and went to Rahata. He saw Khushalchand and gave him Baba's message. Hearing it, Khushalchand was surprised and said that he was taking a noon nap after meals when Baba appeared in his dream and asked him to come to Shirdi immediately and that he was anxious to go.

As he had no horse of his own nearby, he had sent his son to inform Baba; when his son was just out of the village-border, Dixit's tanga turned up. Dixit then said that he was sent specially to bring him. Then they both went in the tanga back to Shirdi. Khushalchand saw Baba and all were pleased. Seeing this Leela of Baba, Khushalchand was much moved.

Sai Ram. As already mentioned, there is no coincidence in the universe. It is our inability to see the Truth in all its glory (because of our ego, which limits our perceptions), that we keep wondering at the 'miracles' that happen. Sai showed such Leelas to fortify the faith of His disciples and thus help them in their path. Sai Ram.

Punjabi Ramalal of Bombay

Once a Punjabi Brahmin of Bombay named Ramalal got a dream in which Baba appeared and asked him to come to Shirdi. Baba appeared to him as a Mahant (Saint), but he did not know His whereabouts. He thought that he should go and see Him, but as he knew not His address, he did not know what to do. But He, who calls anybody for an interview makes the necessary arrangements for the same. The same happened in this case. The same afternoon when he was strolling in the streets, he saw a picture of Baba in a shop. The features of the Mahant, he saw in the dream, exactly tallied with those of the picture. Then making enquiries, he came to know that the picture was of Sai Baba of Shirdi. He then went soon after to Shirdi and stayed there till his death. In this way Baba brought His devotees to Shirdi for darshan and satisfied their wants, material as well as spiritual.

Sai Ram. Baba used visions and dream visions to call some devotees to Him. Some others, He called through His other devotees. Thus He used many methods to draw devotees to Him through their karma, so that He can continue the process of refining them spiritually and make them realise their true nature. Sai Ram.
