Story Of Faith-Part 3

He shone as a great dancing star in the early 80's and now he is a judge on some dance shows. My friend was his close buddy who was also his man Friday.
They once decided to go to Shirdi after the pack up of shooting.
They met at Dadar railway station to catch the late night Manmad Passenger which started at 11.30pm.
They selected a compartment which was quite empty and they chatted away till early in the morning when the train dropped them to Nasik.
They got out and freshened up and had some refreshments from the vendors.
They got inside a crowded bus to go to Shirdi.
They were separated by a large crowd so they took the either end of the bus.
Three hours of jaunty bus ride later they met each other at the Shirdi bus-stand.
They went to have a bath and later they took darshan by standing in the regular queue.
Those were the times when he was not so well known so no one recognized him then.
They had a meal at the kahanaval of the Shirdi sansthan and then started the journey back to Mumbai catching the same bus and the train back to Mumbai.
The journey passed peacefully without any hitch and they spent the time talking about the saint of Shirdi all the way.
The saints generosity is far beyond any one's comprehension and they reveled in it.
When they again got out of Dadar station in Mumbai, the star asked my friend for some money to get back to his house.
My friend was dumbstruck telling him that he did not have any money on him.
They searched each others pockets and found some change which they utilized to get back home.
The most surprising thing was yet to unveil on them.....
The hero thought that my friend had booked the train ticket and my friend thought that the hero did.
They each believed that the other took care of the train,bus and other expenses back and fro, not realizing that they had travelled without ticket all throughout and had absolutely no clue about it.
Such is the grace of Saibaba that he takes care of you even without your knowledge.
When He calls you to His abode, He makes all arrangements without your efforts.
The actor and my friend understood the power wielded by that Saint on even such earthly elements which we can never think about ever.
This is a true story which I am sharing here to tell you how the faith in the Lord and His Representatives(Saints and Guru's) works.

I Don't Like What You Do!

I was very surprised to see this comment in my inbox yesterday and it was written by one of my dearest friends. He said that he did not like what I do! In spiritual! So why did I join the spiritual bandwagon and what is it that makes me write such stuff on this topic? He truly seemed flabbergasted and wanted to know the whys and the wherefores of it! Spiritual does not happen to a person the way you may get married or pass your school or college. It is mentioned in the holy texts that urge and desire to know God or Self comes about very rarely. Every individual knows about God from his own parents or relatives or friends. His knowledge is as trivial as theirs. None of these are qualified to talk about God. Since no one has seen or experienced Him, how can anyone talk about Him? The knowledge that they profess to have is as trivial as their forefathers since neither of them have experienced Him ever. The knowledge of Self or the longing for liberation happens to someone by the

Success & Failure

Yesterday one of my disciples came and asked me to say some words for her future. She was celebrating her 20th birthday. Though I speak on spiritual I told her that I will talk about her career and other such opportunities. I asked her what she would like to do after she completes her studies and the answer was-I don't know! I told her that it is useless playing football without the goal posts and opponents, so she better have a goal in life. The next was whom would she like to emulate in material worldly success and the immediate answer was Mark Zukerberg, Bill Gates, Mittal and the like! They are highly successful people in this world. Then I asked her whom she would not like to emulate or whom does she consider the most unsuccessful person in life? That was difficult to say. I prodded her! Unable to pin point anyone, I told her the people I would not like to emulate or copy are my parents! That shocked her completely and immediately the heckles stood up. But frankly look a
