9th If you cast your burden on me, I shall carry it

[Guest guest]

The earth carries us all. It in turn is going around the sun. Even the

sun is not still and unchanging. All the planets are moving-The entire

universe is dependent on some cosmic energy and that central energy is

running the cosmos.

 

You are but a part in the universe. You are not carrying any other part

in the universe. Nothing is a burden to you. Burden is in your thought

process. Change your thought process. All will be well then. Not only

now, always and under all circumstances, the burden of the universe is

carried by Visweswara. You will very soon realize that God is no other

than Sainath of Shirdi.

 

Bayajabai served Baba with sincere devotion and love. Her son Tatya

Patil was accepted by Baba as his nephew. He accepted the responsibility

of the boy completely. He made him very rich. Finally he saved him from

the jaws of death. He sacrificed his all and saved that boy and thereby

proved to the world that he would successfully take upon himself the

burden of his devotees.

 

In 1918, sometime in the month of September, Tatya fell sick. He was in

the bed. Therefore he could not go to see Baba. Baba too was running

temperature. Tatya had full faith in Baba and Baba had full confidence

in Sree Hari. Only God was their protector. Tatya's sickness was on the

rise. He was unable to move. He was thinking and speaking of Baba alone.

Baba's sickness was also increasing. Vijayadasami was fast approaching.

The pulse of Tatya was becoming weak and feeble. Everybody thought that

he would die soon. Just then a great miracle happened.

 

Tatya did not die. He escaped death but instead of Tatya, Baba

sacrificed his life. It appeared that there was a mutual exchange.

Everybody thought Baba gave up his life to save the life of Tatya. Baba

goes to any extent to save his devotees. He even sacrifices his life.

Both during life and in death, Sai comes to the rescue of his devotees.

Those people who serve Baba whole heartedly will have nothing to worry

or suffer. Baba never lets us down. He keeps his Promise at any cost.

There is no doubt about the fulfillment of Baba's promise to his

devotees. Not only does Baba carry our burdens, but he saves us always

risking his life even. He is our saviour.

 

Bow to Shri Sai - Peace be to all.
