Baba’s wonderful Bedstead
Once Shri. Nanasaheb had brought for Saibaba a wooden plank about 4 arms in length and only a span in breadth, for sleeping upon. Instead of keeping it on the floor and then sleeping on it, Baba tied it like a swing to the rafters of the Masjid with old shreds or rags and commenced to sleep upon it.
The rags were so thin and worn out that it was a wonder, how could they bear or support weight of the plank itself, let alone the weight of Baba.on it. On the four corners of the plank Baba lighted panties ( earthen lamps) one at each corner and kept them burning the whole night.
It was a sight for Gods to see Baba sitting or sleeping on this plank !It was wonder to all, how Baba got up and down the plank.
Out of curiosity many curious observers kept watching the process of mounting and dismounting , but none of them succeeded.
As crowds began to swell, so as to detect this wonderful feat, Baba one day broke the plank into pieces and threw it away.Baba had all the eight siddhis at His command. He neither practiced nor craved for them. They came to Him naturally, as a result of His spiritual perfection.
Moral
A yogi’s actions are never to impress the mass but rather to express a valuable message.
BOW TO SHRI SAI-PEACE BE TO ALL.
OM SAI SRI SAI JAYA JAYA SAI!!!
Let us pray at the feet of Sai Baba who is the incarnation of all gods and protector of all, to show mercy on us, and increase our devotion towards him.
