Om Sai Ram. Would like to share experience... For last 3-4 months by Sai's grace - i have been pulled towards him. I wish i always look at him and help other sai devotees and never for a second - forget Sai...
Here is my brief experience...
For last few months, I have been reading Satcharithra. While expectation is read within a week, I always contemplate , think lot after each chapter or lesson or experience. One of the chapter talks about - or lessons that I learned was to give offering to Sai Baba or your "ista devatha" before we consume food.
I felt this was good practice and decided to follow. I didn't tell my parents or wife that Im going to start this. I didn't tell my kid as well. So I was having my dinner, and i remembered about sharing first share to sai baba. So I took a small piece of food and kept it aside and thought about sai baba. I continued having my food.
Within few minutes, I got a door bell. I went and opened it. I saw 2 Kids. They wanted to have water. The kids must be around 10-12 years old. Since we live in ground floor - we get knocks on our door from kids to drink water. But usually i get knocks from Kids whom I know or whom I see them in park. And usually they ask for water if door is open or around evening like 630 before they go home.
But in this instance - it was around 830pm - most of kids were not in park / my door was closed. And I have never seen those kids. I'm sure there must be around in apartment complex. But it was my first time Im seeing them. I gave them water and casually asked their name. One boy said "Samarth" and another boy said something "Sai anand or something".
I didn't know how to react. I gave them the water and was happy inside and told my wife about it. It took time to digest the experiences we had.
Om Sai Ram. Om Sai Baba.
