He never takes credit

Narasingapuram, September 2001

I hadn’t been feeling well for some time. A doctor in Tirupati told me to

have my uterus scanned. It showed a fbroid cyst. I was told to have anoperation quickly before the cyst got any bigger. I went for a second opinion

at the Apollo Hospital in Chennai where I was given the same diagnosis

and advice. But I had no time for an operation. My husband worked in a

bank and my children were studying. I was left alone to take care of the

house and our cattle farm, which we had just started.

I did not know much about Sai Baba in those days, but my daughter,

Sadhana, has been going to satsang since 1994 and always talks about

Baba and Guruji with much love. I also started to go to satsang and was

astonished to hear about the wonderful experiences of many devotees.

During a darshan  in 1996 my daughter told Guruji about my health

problem.

“Ask your mother to consult the doctor and to do what he says,” was

Guruji’s answer.I did not go to a doctor immediately because I was afraid of what he

might fnd and do.

About six months later we heard that Guruji was coming to Tirumala and

we would have the opportunity to have his personal darshan. Sadhana

insisted that I should have another scan. She has had so many positive

experiences with Guruji that her trust in his grace and power is unshakeable.

She thought that Guruji might have cured me already; if not, we could seek

his blessings in case surgery was necessary. Now I was cornered. Unable

to evade the issue any longer I went for another scan. There was no sign of

any cyst! I was wonderstruck and moved to tears by Guruji’s help and care.

The next day in darshan  I showed Guruji the old and the recent scan

reports. He simply turned to Baba’s picture and did namaskar  to him. I

was deeply touched by his humility; he never takes credit for anything. Heascribes all the blessings we receive from him to Baba’s boundless grace.
