I
used to be an atheist in life, simply believing on the
matters that is visible to bare eyes. In the year 1998 I used to stay
along with my brother in his home at New Delhi. My sister-in-law Pinky is an
ardent devote of Shiridi Sai Baba. She had a small temple where she used to keep Baba's idol. Every
morning she used to light-up a diya (oil lamp) before leaving for her
office. I used to sit near it while watching TV entire day. The
glowing light use to catch my attention. I used to pour oil on the
lamp or pull the thread before the light extinguish. As a consequence of which
I made it a perennial lamp. My vision was restricted only to the glowing
lamp while ignoring Shiridi Sai baba sitting next to it.
Once
it so happened I was alone at home. Our neighbor celebrated their kid’s
birthday. As the houses are small all the male guests gathered at our place to
have hard-drinks. Though I am not a drunkard, but how could I resist
having such a luxury. When all the guest left, I locked the doors, checked the
oil in Sai Baba’s lamp and went to bed. Even before
I could catch the sleep, I
became aware of some strange vibrations, which I
never felt before in life. Then Sai Baba’s locket on my neck was slowly pulled
out on its own. I wanted to open my eyes, but out of fear couldn’t. Though
drunken but well in senses. Next morning when got-up from bed, I
found the thread of the Shiridi Sai Baba locket on my neck was broken.
With this event Baba assured me, “when you look at me, I look at you ”.
In a
few days time from the occurrence of this event I got a job with IDBI
Bank Ltd. at New Delhi. It was time for New Year celebration. We all the
employees went to Massourie, the Himalayas. In the night bottles were opened to
cheer. While overlooking the past event, once again I resorted to the same old
path. That night my Shiridi Sai Baba locket was pulled itself violently. When I
checked it, the aluminum metal-ring of the locket was broken. I thought enough
is enough. When I fail to respect his teachings, I got no eligibility to wear
the locket. I made a vow neither I shall ever drink alcohol in this life,
nor shall ever wear Baba’s locket. That day onwards I removed Baba’s
locket, which always used to adore my neck. For these long ten years I able to
stick to this rule. With his grace, I able to lead a life
free of sedatives, be it alcohol or tobacco in any form.
I might
have removed His locket from my neck but He stayed back in my life. These days
instead of Baba’s locket I am wearing five rudrakhs. Some
nights when I am in deep sleep, even while my body is un-moved, I wakes to the
tune of its dancing on my bare-chest and rubbing each other.
The other
evening I went to open my cupboard to take out some valuable document
from the file. I was disturbed, when I found the file itself was missing from
its usual place, where it is being kept all the time. Next morning when I
opened the cupboard the file was there. It was not that, previous night I have
over-looked it. I reached to the conclusion that, what belongs to me, shall
always be mine. At the time of need, Baba will make the necessary arrangement.
This poor
soul never able to understand all these miracles that keeps on happening day on
day off.
