NOT MERE COINCIDENCE (September 1986)

 

Our Baba's ways of helping His devotees are really wonderful. The

experiences of His devotees are not mere coincidences in life. They are

beyond the reach of science. I reiterate that they are miracles. I firmly

believe that if we have the unswerving faith in Baba, His presence is always

felt by us Many times Baba answered my prayers whenever I was in

difficulties. I narrate an incident — one of many happened in my life —

which proves that Baba is always kind to those who utter His name whole

heartedly. My wife was admitted to a hospital and the specialist doctor

thought that the caesarian operation had to be performed on my wife as the

delivery in the normal way appeared to be very difficult. Baba answered my

prayer and my wife was brought to bed of a child normally, much to the

astonishment of the doctor. Then my mother in-law used to bring food to my

wife in the new food carrier of their neighbour. As all had gone well, she

went to Baba's temple to have a pooja performed in gratitude. After taking

the prasad, she went home late in the night.

 

In her haste to attend to the needs of her waiting husband, she had

forgotten the bag — which had the carrier and the prasad of Baba — in the

rickshaw. A few minutes later she realised her mistake. My father-in-law and

brothers-in-law searched for that rickshaw puller in that night, but in

vain. Everyone lost hopes. At that time they were in financial difficulties

and the cost of that new carrier was a big amount to them then. My

mother-in-law prayed to Baba to show His kindness to her. We know that Baba

is a synonym for kindness. The next day in the early morning the rickshaw

puller came enquiring about my mother-in-law. He searched for her, lane

after lane. He said that the bag in the rickshaw made him restless in the

night. Something in him told him to give it back to its owner. He waited for

the morning and went out at the very first ray of the sun. My eyes were

filled with tears for the kindness of Baba.
