Sairam,
I am a Sai devotee and really , Sai has been guiding me in so many ways. I read this forum because somehow i feel so peaceful readign it and feel so close to home.
Over the couple of months, life has been ever changing, very confusing . I have kept my faith on God, but i do not know if the faith i have is good enough. Lot of questions keep crossing my mind and make me restless . I want Baba to take contol of my life and give me stability.
I had a very magical experience when i went to Shirdi last may. While goign round the neem tree, i did 4 rounds and sat on the parapet where other devotees where sitting. At that time i saw this elderly gentlemen dressed in white and asking for money with a smile. I went up to my mother who was standing a feet away and got some change and gave him. Then i resumed goign round the tree. I somehow did not look into his eyes. After finishing the rounds i was walkign back towards where my mother was waiting, my mother noticed that the gentlemen got up and raised his hands as though he was blessing me. This is wat happened.
A few months later, i came to the US for my masters, and as a part of my routine i browse sai sites, i was just checkign the photos online. At that time strangely, i remembered that one of the old original snap of Baba was exaclty how the old gentlemen there looked. I tried convincing myself that i was imagining but am convinced that the images were the same. I really felt a chill.
I just wanted to share my feelings with other devotees.
I sincerely pray for each one here .
I hope baba shows me the way , helps me differentiate the right and wrong.
I seek babas blessings.
Sairam
Aastha
