Baba showed the path in pitch black dark !!!
by Aditya Vikram
I was once returning with my family from Lake Land Country Club at around 10
p.m. I was on Kona Expressway, it was totally dark, with no street light and
open stretches of fields on both the sides. Suddenly, a car started honking from
behind, and in a short while it overtook our car. In a short while we realised
that the driver of the other car was asking us to stop, when we did, he informed
us that our car’s one tyre had punctured.
I was instantly seized with fear, as my wife and children were with me; the
battery of my mobile was completely discharged; so there was no way I could call
for help, besides, there was not a soul in sight to help. I also recalled that,
that area was infested with robbers.
I started praying to Sai Baba. I told my family that I was going out of the car
to seek help, and told them not to open the doors of the car, whatever, the
reason be. I began to walk in the dark. It was eerie, with not a soul in sight,
fear gripping me; I was earnestly besieging Baba to miraculously come to my aid.
After sometime, I noticed a light coming from a distance, as I hastened my step,
I saw a small shop. I started running, when I reached the shop I asked the
shopkeeper, if he had a phone or mobile, to which he replied ‘no’. I asked him,
if there was a garage nearby, to which he again said ‘no’. I explained to him my
problem and informed me that in the vicinity, there is a boy who knew how to
repair cars.
As per his directions, I located the boy and explained to him my predicament,
the boy agreed to come with me. In the dead of night, he changed the tyre. When
I asked him, how much I should pay him, he said, “Rs. 20.” I sincerely thanked
Baba for helping me in this dark place.
I sincerely believe that there is some sanity left in the world because of such
kind souls. I pray to Baba to bestow on the young lad all the happiness in the
world.
