Faith Conquers and Devotion pays

SAI, This magical name takes you to places and brings you rewards beyond

all your expectations and out of all proportions.

 

Until a few years ago, I had absolutely no knowledge about Sai Baba, but

it all began with a doctor, Mr. Choudhari. He is the person who has

helped me to develop this faith and devotion in Sai Baba.

 

I shall now narrate to you a few of my many encounters with Sai Baba. I

had done very badly in my XII Std French paper and had absolutely no

hopes of passing. Dada, (as I call Mr. Choudhari) told me to have faith

in Sai Baba and that he said would surely help me. Three days before my

results I was extremely tensed up when my sister came and said that a

girl who claimed to be a friend of mine had said to her that I had

passed with 57%. I was overjoyed but calmed down immediately thinking

that someone must have fooled her. When I narrated this incident to

Dada, he said " Had I not told you that Sai Baba would help you. Now that

he has come in the form of your friend saying that you have passed with

57%, I assure you that you shall be getting a higher percentage than

this. " When I collected my results I was surprised to see that I had

passed with a First Class. Till today I have not known who that girl was

who claimed to be my friend. So this was my first encounter with Sai

Baba.

 

Truly enough, after this incident I became an ardent devotee of his,

started praying everyday without fail and even started fasting on

Thursdays.

 

He has helped me throughout my academic career and in some subjects

where I felt I was not prepared at all, I had only to take Sai Baba's

name and my pen would start moving automati-cally completing the paper

with no difficulty at all.

 

I was working in a private firm and studying at the same time. I prayed

to Sai Baba to give me a good job and I had offers of jobs in Airlines

and Bank to make a choice from. I chose the Airlines job as desired by

Sai Baba because nothing is possible without His wishes.

 

Today I find a lot of things happening on their own which have made me

happy and I would give the entire credit to Sai Baba and to Dada.

 

It is rightly said that all things are possible to him that believeth.

Never give up, never yield, keep faith, keep worship-ping.
