Sai the only saviour
One of the eleven golden sayings of Sachidanand Bhagwan Shri Sai Nath Maharaj states that ''I am ever living to help and guide all who come to me, whosoever surrenders to me and whosoever seeks refuge in me". I am a living example of the truth of the above doctrine.
This happened quite sometimes back when I had not even heard of Shirdi Sai Baba.
Being a Central Government officer, I was posted in a far off state to hold independent charge of a small unit headquartered in a modest town adjoining a district town. A governmenl jeep was placed at my disposal to enable me to perform my field duties conveniently. There were strict instructions for the use of the vehicle in public interest only and maintaining proper records and accounts. This facility of having a government transport was not available to any other local officer with the result that they had to approach me for a favour every now and then although, bound by the strict departmental instruction, I had normally to disappoint them especially when they wanted to have it for personal use. Naturally most of them were not happy with me.
Once, when I was indisposed and confined to bed and my head clerk was looking after the official work, a local officer with his connivance manged to get the vehicle and left for the pleasant trip to the district city alongwith his children. As the ill luck would have it, the jeep met with serious accident enroute damaging it badly. The driver was injured critically though all the passengers escaped with minor injuries. Based on the report made by my head clerk, all the blame on the alleged wrongfully allotment of the jeep to the local officer was thrown on me. The driver was admitted to the hospital. He was serious enough to give any statement for days together. Anticipating his eventual death, everybody joined hands with the headclerk to falsely imlicate me. I was sure to loose my job alongwith any other monetary punishment. Senior officers had already come for on the spot enquiry.
That was the worst time for me. Even my own friends and well wishers had betrayed me. One of my junior clerks who was a stanuch devotee of Shirdi Sai Baba, suggested to me to 'approach' Him for his blessings. Through him, I learnt about the Lord, the omni present Sai Baba of Shirdi Taking Baba's sacred photo and His Udi, I spent the whole night preying to him for the justice.
Next day was the crucial one. Senior officers from Delhi were recording the evidence which was all going against me. In the after noon, an urgent word was passed on the them that the driver of the ill-fated jeep was better and willing to give a statement. The enquiring officers decided to visit him in the hospital next day. Every body was thinking that even he night be tempted giving a wrong statement in order to implicate me but, no. Baba is great. He takes care of His devotees who completely surrender to Him. The driver repeatedly and unexpectedly explained that it was the Head clerk who had ordered him to take the jeep to the local officer and not myself The enquiring officers subjected him to as many counter questions as they could but finally came to the correct conclusion.
Soon, I was completely exhonerated of the grave charges Since then, Sai Baba has become everything in my life. His grace knows no bounds.
