"I draw to Me, My man from far off or even across the seven Seas to Shirdi, like a sparrow with a string fastened to its feet"-Shirdi Sai Baba, Indian Spiritual Guru-God

Mere darshan itself was so conducive to happiness

An interesting story about seeing Sai Baba

  • Shama ( Baba’ s close Devotee) and Kakaji (Priest of Goddess Sapta Shringi), both started for Shirdi from Vani Temple. On reaching the place, Kakaji went to the Masjid, and fell at Baba’s Feet.
  • His eyes were soon bedewed with tears, and his mind attained calmness.
  • According to the earlier vision of the his Goddess, no sooner did he see Baba, that his mind lost all its restlessness and it became calm and composed.
  • Kakaji began to think, in his mind,
    • “What a wonderful power is this!
    • Baba spoke nothing, there was no question and answer,
    • no benediction pronounced; the mere darshana itself was so conducive to happiness;
    • the restlessness of my mind disappeared by His mere darshan,
      • consciousness of joy came upon me – this is what is called ‘the greatness of darshan’.”
      • His vision was fixed on Sai’s feet and he could utter no word.
      • Hearing Baba’s Leelas, his joy knew no bounds.
      • He surrendered himself completely to Baba, forgot his anxiety and cares and got undiluted happiness.
      • He lived happily there for twelve days and after taking Baba’s leave, Udi and blessings returned home.
