The Miracles Of Sri Sai Baba Of Shirdi Fill His Devotee With Wonder,
Thrill and Awe.
Oh Bhagawan Sai of sacred Shridi! how Thy miracles
Fill Thy devotee's mind with wonder, thrill and awe!
If the " Jamner miracle" in which by Thy great mystic power
Thou created the tonga and the driver to take Thy messenger
to Nana in Jamner,
Fills Thy devotee with sheer delight to ponder over Thy
greatness.
He is swept off his feet by recollection of Shantaram and
Nasik,
A wonder of wonders it was, when out of sheer love to that
devotee
Thou All Highest assumed the form of a fictious peon of the
Bombay Arts School
The school existed no doubt, but not the peon searched for in
the same,
By that devotee whom Thou accompanied as far as
Nasik-Panchavati,
And rendered every form of help to the oblation he performed to his wife's
spirit.
Equal to, if not surpassing Thy miracles penned with
reverence above.
Was Thy service Thou rendered to another devotee
happening to be a woman this time
Chandrabai Borker was her name, who Thou once sent to Pandharpur to join her
spouse.
And when in her dejection and despair to learn his transfer to Dhond,
Thou appeared to her as a Fakir providing her with
substance and guide to join her husband.
These and other like unheard of miracles of Thine it is,
That draw Thy devotee to Thee more and more, closer and closer.
Is it possible to assess in words the immensity of Thy
greatness?
Thy devotee finds himself at a loss to express himself in full.
Though he longs and pines to pour his heart and soul on Thee,
Who while in Shirdi shone like a sun, sending his beams all around.
Beams of enlightment beams of enrichment, beams of edification,
To all his worshippers not only in Shirdi but spread far and wide.
Thy devotee prays that Thy sunlit image should dwell in him for ever.
For circumstanced as he is, Thou art his only source of strength and
hope.
It is only for the mere joy of Thy presence in him That Thy devotee submits
this humble supplication to Thee. No Incarnation so exalted as Thine he is
aware of, and To recollect Thy "Leelas" and to realise Thy greatness Thrills
him in every cell of him every fibre of his being. Let the thrill and joy
abide with him till his end,
Bestow on him in abundance Oh Lord, Thy benediction and grace,
He has craved these of Thee before, and he craves these of Thee again.
