Thursday Message :

Doctor's Nephew

At Malegaon (Dt. Nasik)

there lived a doctor (qualified and degree-holder). His nephew suffered from an

incurable disease - Tubercular bone-abcess. The doctor himself and his

brothers, the medical practitioners, tried all sorts of remedies and even an

operation. There was no relief and there was no end to the little boy's suffering.

Friends and relations advised the parents of the boy to seek divine aid and

recommended them to try Sai Baba, who was known to have cured such incurable

cases by His mere glance. The parents, therefore, came to Shirdi. They

prostrated themselves before Baba, placed the boy before Him and pleaded humbly

and respectfully, and implored Him to save their son. The merciful Baba

comforted them saying "Those who resort to this Masjid shall never suffer

anything in this life and to the end of time. Be now care-free. Apply Udi on

the abcess and within one week he will recover. Believe in God. This is no

Masjid, but Dwarawati. He who steps here will soon get health and happiness and

his sufferings will come to an end". The boy was made to sit before Baba,

Who moved his hands on the affected part and cast His loving glances on him.

The patient was pleased and with the application of the Udi, he began to

recover, and was all right after some days. The parents then left Shirdi with

their son, thanking Baba for the cure, which was effected by Udi and Baba's

gracious looks.

After knowing this, the doctor, the uncle of the boy became wonder-struck

and desired to see Baba while he was on his way to Bombay

for some business; but at Malegaon

and Manmad somebody spoke to him against Baba and poisoned his ears. He

therefore, dropped the idea of visiting Shirdi and went to Bombay direct. He wanted to spend the rest of

his leave at Alibag, but at Bombay

he heard three successive nights, a voice crying out,"Still you disbelieve

me?". Then the doctor changed his mind and resolved to go to Shirdi. He

had to attend in Bombay

to a case of Infectious Fever, which showed no signs of abatement soon. So he

thought that his Shirdi trip would be postponed. He however proposed a test in

his mind and said,"If the patient gets all right today, I start for Shirdi

tomorrow." The wonder is that exactly at the time when the determination

was taken, the fever began to abate and the temperature became normal. Then he

went to Shirdi as per his determination, took Baba's darshan and prostrated

himself before Him. Baba gave him such experiences that he became His devotee.

He stayed there for four days and returned home with Baba's Udi and blessings.

Within a fortnight he was transferred on promotion to Bijapur. His nephew's

case gave him an opportunity for seeing Baba and this visit engendered in him a

neverfailing love for the Saint's feet.

Dr. Pillay

One Dr.

Pillay was an intimate Bhakta of Baba. He was much liked by Baba, Who always

called him Bhau (brother). Baba talked with him off and on and consulted him in

all matters and wanted him always at His side. This Pillay suffered once very

badly from guinea-worms. He said to Kakasaheb Dixit, "The pain is most

excruciating and unbearable. I prefer death to it. This pain, I know, is for

repaying past Karma, but go to Baba and tell Him to stop the pain and transfer

the working of my past Karma to ten future births of mine." Mr. Dixit went

to Baba and told Him his request. Then Baba, being moved by his request, said

to Dixit,"Tell him to be fearless. Why should he suffer for ten births? In

ten days he can work out the sufferings and consequences of his past Karma.

While I am here to give him temporal and spiritual welfare, why should he pray

for death? Bring him here on somebody's back and let us work and finish his

sufferings once for all".

The doctor was brought in that condition and was seated on Baba's right

side,where Fakir Baba always sat. Baba gave him His bolster and said,"Lie

calmly here and be at ease. The true remedy is, that the result of past actions

has to be suffered and got over. Our Karma is the cause of our happiness and

sorrow; therefore put up with whatever comes to you. Allah (God) is the sole

Dispenser and Protector, always think of Him. He will take care of you.

Surrender to His feet with body, mind, wealth and speech, i.e. completely and

then see what He does." Dr. Pillay said in return that Nanasaheb had put a

bandage over the leg, but he found no relief. "Nana is a fool"

replied Baba. "Take off that bandage or else you will die. Now a crow will

come and peck you, and then you will recover."

While this conversation was going on, one Abdul, who always cleaned the

Masjid and trimmed the lamps, turned up. While he was attending to his work of

training, his foot accidentally fell upon the stretched leg of Dr. Pillay. The

leg was already swollen and when Abdul's foot fell upon it and pressed it, all

the seven guinea-worms were squeezed out at once. The pain was unbearable and

Dr. Pillay bawled out loudly. After some time, he calmed down and began to sing

and cry alternately. Then Pillay enquired when the crow was coming and peeking.

Baba said, "Did you not see the crow? He won't come again. Abdul was the

crow. Now go and rest yourself in the Wada and you will be soon allright."

By application of the Udi and by taking it in the stomach with water, and

without taking any other treatment or medicine, the disease was completely

cured in ten days as predicted by Baba.

Sharma's Sister-in-law

Shama's

younger brother Bapaji was staying near Sawool well. Once his wife was attacked

with Bubonic plague. She had high fever and two bubos in her groins. Bapaji

rushed to Shama at Shirdi and asked him to come and help. Shama was frightened,

but according to his wont, he went to Baba, prostrated himself before Him,

invoked His aid, and requested Him to cure the case. He also asked His

permission to go to his brother's house. Then Baba said, "Don't go there

at this late hour (night), send her Udi. Why care for the fever and bubos? God

is our father and master; she will be alright easily. Do not go now, but go

there in the morning and return immediately."

Shama had full faith in Baba's Udi. It was sent with Bapaji. It was applied

on the bubos and some of it was mixed with water and was given to the patient

for drinking. No sooner was it taken in, than perspiration set in profusely,

the fever abated and the patient had a good sleep. Next morning Bapaji was

surprised to see his wife alright and refreshed with no fever and bubos. When

Shama went there next morning with Baba's permission he was also surprised to

see her at the hearth and preparing tea. On questioning his brother, he learnt

that Baba's Udi cured her completely in one night. Then Shama realized the significance

of Baba's words. "Go there in the morning and return immediately.

After taking tea, Sharma returned and after saluting Baba said,"Deva,

what is this play of Yours? You first raise a storm and make us restless and

then calm it down and ease us". Baba replied "You see mysterious is

the path of action. Though I do nothing, they hold Me resonsible for the

actions which take place on account of Adrista (destiny). I am only their

witness. The Lord is the sole Doer and Inspirer. He is also most merciful. Neither

I am God nor Lord. I am His obedient servant and remember Him often. He, who

casts aside his egoism, thanks Him and he, who trusts Him entirely, will have

his shackles removed and will obtain liberation".

Irani's Daughter

Now read the

experience of an Irani gentleman. His young daughter got fits every hour. When

the convulsion came she lost her power of speech, her limbs got shrunk and

contracted and she fell down senseless. No remedy gave her any relief. Some

friend recommended Baba's Udi to her father and asked him to get it from

Kakasaheb Dixit at Vile Parle (suburb of Bombay).

Then the Irani gentleman got the Udi and gave it mixed with water to his

daughter daily for drinking. In the beginning the convulsions, which were

coming on hourly, came every seven hours and after a few days the daughter

recovered completely.

Harda Gentleman

An old

gentleman of Harda (C.P) was suffering from a stone in his bladder. Such stones

are generally removed by surgical operations and people recomended him to undergo

one. He was old and weak, lacked strength of mind and could not think of

submitting himself to surgical treatment. His suffering was soon to end in

another way. The Inamdar (City Officer) of that town happened to come there at

this time. He was a devotee of Baba and had always a stock of Udi with him. On

the recommendation of friends, his son got some Udi from and mixing it with

water, gave it to his old father to drink. Within five minutes the Udi was

assimilated, the stone was dissolved and came out through his urine and old man

was soon relieved.

Bombay Lady

A woman of

the Kayastha Prabhu caste in Bombay

always suffered terrible pain at her delivery. She was very much frightened

each time she became pregnant and did not know what to do. Shri Rama-Maruti of

Kalyan, who was a devotee of Baba advised her husband to take her to Shirdi for

a painless delivery. When she next became pregnant, both husband and wife came

to Shirdi, stayed there for some months and worshipped Baba and got all the

benefit of His company. After some time the hour of delivery came and as usual

there was obstruction in the passage from the womb. She began to suffer labour

pains, did not know what to do, but began to pray to Baba for relief. In the

meantime, some neighbouring women turned up and after invoking Baba's aid, gave

her Udi-mixture to drink. In five minutes, the woman delivered safely and

painlessly. The issue was still-born according to its fate; but the mother who

got rid of the anxiety and pain, thanked Baba for the safe delivery and ever

remained grateful to Him.

Bow to Shri Sai - Peace to be all
