WHAT A SURPRISE SAI BABA HAD FOR US ON OUR RETURN

A Surprise Gift from Sadguru Sainath Maharaj It was the year 1952 when one of my well-wisher subordinate employee named Shri NERURKAR of Bandra (West) advised me to go in SHARNAGAT of SHRI SAI BABA OF SHIRDI, Who will, as per his belief, definitely redress any and every of my grievance, solve our all difficulties, give us what we deserve and above all give us peace of mind, provided we surrendered to Him in full heart and soul.

Those days we were very badly in need of residential accommodation I along with my wife, Shama Tikoo, made up our mind to go to SHIRDI and fall at the lotus feet of SAI BABA.

One fine day HE seems to have felt our heart-throbs and called us to SHIRDI as it was a known fact that without HIS wish nothing can happen in spite of any and every effort is put in.

An invisible verbal order came and we set out for SHIRDI. T

hough this was our first experience; we had some difficulty in reaching Shirdi which we took to be His test of our endurance and belief in HIM.

We reached there safely, passed some days in Shirdi attended the Palki procession as well, on Thursday night.

We saw what we had never seen till that day, that the Samadhi Mandir, Gurusthan, Dwarkamai and Chawdi are open to one and all without caste and creed which is allowed in no other temple, church, masjid or gurudwara.

Above all we were rather surprised to see that each person, a child, young or old, a male or female, can go up to the SINGHASAN OF MAHARAJA ADHIRAJ SHRI SAINATH and touch His feet, garland Him, put on any offering to Him.

This direct access to the Sai Murti, of anyone, rich or poor, sick or healthy, is unique, we could see.

Above this all, we felt as if Baba is talking to us and He gave us peace of mind when we used to sit before Him in the Samadhi Mandir hall, at Dwarkamai, at Chawdi, at Gurusthan or even in the Lendibag.

After about a week’s stay there we returned to Bombay and “LO WHAT A SURPRISE SAI BABA HAD FOR US ON OUR RETURN” He gave it to us, as one of my another subordinate Shri Bhogilal Lolania informed me that there was a double room vacant in the Building he was residing in and I should immediately see the rent collector Shri Dubejee before anyone else meets him for it.

I accordingly met Shri Dubejee same evening and the problem of our accommodation which could not be solved since 1948, was solved at a minutes meeting with the said rent collector,

but only when we returned from Shirdi with the grace and blessings of SAI BABA, on Whose feet we had fallen at Shirdi and had completely surrendered our heart and soul to HIM, the SADGURU SAIBABA.

This leela of providing us surprise gift in the form of accommodation increased our faith in Him and His Bhakti and as such I along with my wife Shama Tikoo, took HIM to be our Father, Mother and Guru as well as everything in our life.

We have entrusted ourselves to HIM to HIS Grace and His mercies.

We are His and only His and He has every right to do with us what is so destined and in store for us that we deserve.

It is because of this all, I have been writing, composing and singing Bhajans of His grace and BHAKTI BHAVS which He and only He creates in my mind, brain and thought.

It is He only who gives me inspiration and the power to write, compose and sing these Bhavs in the form of the Bhajans.

HIS LEELA is very UPRUMPAR (endless). We have full faith in Him and in all gods, saints, avatars, fakeers, and sannyasees but all through HIM AND IN HIM ONLY, as we see every one of them in HIM only.
