There are numerous stories in the Sai Baba Sacharitra where people(Like Syama) who were very close to Baba realized that they did not give him enough respect or treated him below of what He should have been as a God.
Now, a week ago, I too had a little take it for granted scenario when I was getting lazy enough to watch Hot UK Deals and not read Sai Baba Sachiritra daily. This guilt was building up slowly in me, but as my driving instructor always, used to say, I didnt listen to it well and kept on going.
The other day, the head light on my car went off and I had to replace it. After searching the whole internet, I realized that for the Toyota Avensis, I had to remove off the whole body and it is around an hour in labour and roughly £40 for the whole job, which depressed me. Luckily, at the end I realized that it is quite easy to actually do on my car which is not as per the other bloggers /forums. So, on this cold day at 8 PM in the night, I set out replacing the bulb. To my fate the bulb on the left was working fine and it was easily accessible from the bonnet. However, the bulb on the right was a bit tricky to reach by hand and I could not get it to fit once I put the bulb in the socket. Believe it or not, I struggled for close to 40 minutes trying various combinations to fit the bulb but could not. I just did not understand why it was not working. Now, being a Hindu and a Sai Baba devotee, for this very simple thing, I started worrying why I was not able to fit it and if it was the result of any of my bad deeds!!!
After a minute of thinking (yes, i could think of so many bad deeds that I did which I could think of in 1 minute!!!) I found out that it is the result of my neglect and not reading the book regularly. Then I remembered that I did not read the book on that day also and so thought of reading the book and coming back. I was sure that I can fit it definitely once I ready my chapter for the day. The next second the socket fitted and I was amazed!!!
With 2 frost bitten fingers, I went back and read my chapter for the day and have been doing ever since with due respect and belief.
Now, you can still argue that it was coincidental that it fitted when I just thought of the book!!!!
Yes??????
How come that coincidence didnt happen for 40+ minutes???? that is my question.... brood over... till my next blog.
