Shri Sai Baba Appears in Dreams
I felt so bad on getting the telegram that at the last
minute of her death, I was not with her near her bed. Due to this shock, I got a
paralytic attack on the right side. When I got the telegram I along with my
daughter and her three children, had just arrived from Malwan and we were having
our lunch. (was trying to get up with tears in my eyes; but I was unable to get
up. As my wife was nearby and as she was a medical practioner, she could
immediately judge what it was. For nearly half an hour, they were coaxing me to
tell them what I felt, so that I
would be free from the mental pressure; but it was all in vain. Then after half
an hour or so they washed my hands and with the help of our patients, who were
in our clinic, they arranged to take me to my bedroom and made me lie down.
Having so many doctor friends, my wife phoned to them and they immediately rushed to our house and diagnosed it as severe paralytic stroke.
My son, who is practicing in Bombay, being M. D., was
also called for further discussion. He too concurred with the opinion already
expressed by the doctors at Hubli. In my minds of mind, I was feeling to go to
Bombay to perform the obsequies of my late mother; but my son and doctor friends
did not allow me to start even in an ambulance and thus I had to postpone my
departure to Bombay.
OD the 12th of June 1975, at midnight in my dream, I saw Shri Sai Baba standing
near me and asking me not to be nervous. He further started massaging my right
side, which was paralysed, muttering the words, "Do not
be afraid, everything will be alright". Immediately after uttering
these words Shri Sai Baba disappeared.
I awoke, opened my eyes and explained to my wife and
others my whole dream. I began to feel alright from that moment and then in a
months' time, I was brought to Bombay for some other operation, which we got
successfully done. The surgeon prescribed to me some
exercises for my paralysis and now I am able to walk without anybody's help.
When there was absolutely no hope of my recoupment, I have recovered to eighty
percent. I feel that this all is due to Shri Sai Baba's grace and favour for
which I will remain indebted to Him for all
my future life.
Now I have completely retired from all my social activities and I am concentrating my whole attention to Shri Sai Baba in order to get mental peace, so that I may end my life in peace, if
