Shri Sai Satcharitra-Chapter 43 And 44 Part IV
Breaking of the Brick
Some days before Baba's departure, there occurred an ominous sign foreboding the event. There was, in the Masjid an old brick on which Baba rested His hand and sat. At night time He leaned against it and had His asan. This went on for many years. One day, during Baba's absence, a boy who was sweeping the floor, took it up in his hand, and unfortunately it slipped from thence fell down broken into two pieces. When Baba came to know about this, He bemoaned its loss, crying - "It is not the brick but My fate that has been broken into pieces. It was My life-long companion, with it I always meditated on the Self, it was as dear to Me as My life, it has left Me to-day."
Some may raise here a question - "Why should Baba express this sorrow for such an inanimate thing as a brick?" To this Hemadpant replies that saints incarnate in this world with the express mission of saving the poor helpless people, and when they embody themselves and mix and act with the people, they act like them, i.e., outwardly laugh, play and cry like all other people, but inwardly they are wide awake to their duties and mission.
Sai
Ram.
While
that
may
be
true,
it
is
also
likely
that
the
inanimate
brick
is
not
lifeless
as
it
appears
to
us
with
limited
senses,
but
is
in
fact
pervaded
by
a
spirit
friend
and
guide
of
Sai.
It
is
given
elsewhere
that
the
brick
was
thrown
at
Sai
when
He
was
young,
out
of
jealousy
by
the
other
disciples
and
that
it
was
stopped
in
the
midair
by
the
Guru
Himself.
It
is
said
when
the
other
disciples
regretted
their
envy
towards,
Sai,
the
favourite
disciple
of
the
Guru,
the
brick
actually
hit
the
Guru!
Thus,
the
brick
represented
His
Guru's
grace
to
Sai,
the
perfect
disciple!
Sai
Ram.
