Shri Sai Sat Charitra-Chapter XXIX-Part IV (Continued)

By Super
Sai Sat Charitra, Chapter 29

Continued From The First Page


Sai Ram. A wonderful story and which goes to confirm several similar similar stories which are given in Sri Guru Charitra and also in Sri Sai Satcharitra too. This type of personal experience only helps a Sadhaka to develop total faith in Guru and it is known that only total faith can lead to total surrender and thus help one to cross the turbulent ocean of mind, populated by the crocodiles of doubt, whales of desires etc. No astrologer can make totally correct predictions and while good predictions are in general welcome since they help the person maintain an optimistic attitude to life and thus achieve success in his or her endeavors, negative predictions are not to be taken in totality. In any case, God and Guru can always help one overcome the negative effects of planets and stars in one's horoscope and one should therefore maintain an optimistic attitude and have total faith in one's God / Guru (Who are one and same as we keep repeatedly telling through these articles). Sai Ram.

The father of this boy, Raghunathrao was serving in some foreign mercantile firm in Bombay. As he grew old, he was not able to attend to his work properly and so he had to take leave and rest. As he did not improve during the period of leave a further extension of leave or retirement from service was inevitable. The Chief Manager of the firm decided to retire him on pension as he was an old and a reliable servant. The question regarding the amount of pension to be given was under consideration. He was getting Rs.150/- p.m. and his pension i.e. half the amount viz. Rs. 75/- would not be enough to meet the expenses of the family.

So they were all anxious about this matter. Fifteen days before the final settlement, Baba appeared to Mrs. Tendulkar in her dream and said, "I wish that Rs. 100/- should be paid (settled) as pension, will this satisfy you?" She replied "Baba, why ask me this? We fully trust in You". Though Baba said Rs.100/- still he (Raghunathrao)was given ten Rupees more i.e. Rs.110/- as a special case. Such wonderful love and care did Baba exhibit for His Bhaktas.

Sai Ram. Total faith and trust works wonders. Let us recall with love and affection the love shown by Vishnu to His child devotee Prahlada (son of Hiranyakasyapa, a great devotee internally but a terrible antagonist outside). And Mrs. Tendulkar showed total faith in her Guru and was well rewarded thereby. Sai Ram.
