Encouraging Good Thoughts of Fruition

 

It is interesting to note how Shiridi Sai Baba encouraged good thoughts. You

have to surrender yourself completely to Him with love, and devotion, and they

you will see how, He helps you, off and on, in so many things.

 

Some Saint has said, that when you get a good thought,immediately after

awakening from sleep, and if you develop the same afterwards during the day,

your intellect will be unfolded and your mind will attain calmness.

 

Hemadpant wanted to try this. On one Wednesday night before going to bed, be

thought - " To-morrow is Thursday - an auspicious day and the place, viz. Shirdi,

is so holy; so let me pass the whole day in

remembering and chanting the Rama-nama, and then he slept. Next morning when he

got up he remembered without any effort the name of Rama and was much pleased.

He then, after finishing his morning duties, went to see Baba with flowers. When

he left Dixit's Wada, and was just passing Booty's Wada (present Samadhi-mandir)

he heard a beautiful song that was being sung nicely by one Aurangabadkar, in

the Masjid before Baba. The song was Guru - kripanjan payo mere bhai " etc. by

Ekanath, in which he says that he got collyrium in the form of Guru's grace

which opened his vision and made him see Rama, in and out, in sleep, dream, and

waking state and everywhere. There were so many songs; and why was this song

particularly chosen by Aurangabadkar, a devotee of Baba? Is this not a curious

coincidence arranged by Baba to feed the determination of Hemadpant to sing

unceasingly Rama-nama, during the day?

 

All Saints agree on and lay stress upon the efficacy of uttering Rama's (God's)

name, in fulfilling the ambitions of the Bhaktas and in protecting and saving

them from all calamities.
