The below is a wonderful post from our sister sapna. Felt that this should be shared in this thread as well. Baba bless all. om sai ram.
Om Sai Ram,
Gayathriji and all other Sai devotees,
It was really a wonderful moment reading all your experiences with Sai Baba.
No doubt he really adores you all and are blessed children of him.
I pray that he continues to pour the same love(and even more) on all his
devotees too(including me) !
I would like to share my first experience with Baba with all of you.
I had been to Bombay when I was in my 8th std with few of my
cousins and other relations (my parents and my sis didnt come as they were
held up with work and studies). We then went to Shirdi too, as someone
from our group had heard that it is a nice place and Baba is a very powerful
saint. I dont remember hearing about Sai Baba before that, it was all new to me.
I vaguely remember that day, but as much as I recall, it looked like a small masjid
that time, unlike what it looks now.. and not much people were there..
I just visited the statue and since I had heard from my relative, that whatever we
wish for becomes true by Baba's grace at Shirdi. I being a bit immature and playful
that time, didnt believe in such miracles much, and thought no harm in testing it once
and so prayed that "If you really can do a miracle then make me get a first rank in my
class". This is all I prayed, since at that age, all that mattered to me was to be a topper in the class, which I usually used to lose by just one or two marks kinds.
After that incident, I kind of put aside this incident, and returned to my city and
to be honest, and if I remember right I was the topper in the next class test , and
I think I remembered about Baba then! But after that I dont think I thanked him for that or
continued to have faith in him, because no one else in my family had much heard of Sai Baba
at that time, and I dont know if there were that many mandir's of Sai Baba in my city too.
Maybe though I forgot, Baba never forgot about me, since after 4-5 years, everyone in the
family became ardent devotees of Sai Baba, and till date we worship him very much and
quiet often we visit Sai Baba temple and also have been blessed with Baba's darshan at Shirdi
around 4 times. We too have experienced a lot of miracles of Sai Baba recently and I totally
agree that he is there for all of us whether we remember or not.
I also keep looking for signs every from Baba now and then for every incident of my life, keep hoping that
Sai Baba is witnessing and guiding me in all steps. I would be very happy when I get any positive sign, but will be truly disappointed when I dont get. But as everyone in this post mentioned "maybe he has a better plan" sounds true.
Till recently I wasnt aware of such a forum being in existence. Through sheer luck I can say, I came across this link and from that day I keep visiting this site very often and it is very assuring to know
that I have lot of brothers and sisters in this forum who are Baba's children. I am beginning to understand how Baba works on his devotees in his fashion. He is very powerful and completely humble.
Thanks Baba for all that you have given and been giving so far!
We all love you
Sapna.
