MEETING WITH MAHASHAKTI

Is everything okay...?

Dear friends I have told you that Sai Baba and my supreme spiritual master Dr Chandra Bhanu Satpathy have given me my most precious psychic experiences.I have also told you how my car engine came to my mind repeatedly before my journey to Balasore. I had the engine checked and the mechanic replaced the clutch plate instantly.Had I not done so I would have been in a soup in the middle of my journey.

I had narrated this to the two boys. But Pranay had not been convinced,I thought.
Today,before I started their Spanish class,Imtiaz wanted to know if I had any fresh experiences. I wondered a little whether to disclose today's experience or not. Imtiaz was waiting for the information with bated breath.I couldn't resist and ignore his excitement and eagerness.So I began as follows:

"I taught a girl English three years ago. Now she is doing software engineering in a city college.She knows about my interest in God,spirituality and psychic experiences. Unlike other students she was not a non-believer in God. I had once gifted her mother an Odia edition of Sai Satcharitra. It is the biography of Sai. The book is a touchstone.Or you can call it a panacea or cure-all.I don't know why I again and again thought of the gifted copy of Sai Satcharitra I had told Sarmistha's mother to read. This was a strange and peculiar experience. I debated whether I must divulge the truth to her. My initial inhibitions were she might panic. But I took heart and sent her the missive enquiring if everything was okay on her side. She sent back the news that they were worried and anxious about her paternal uncle's covid19 infection and the consequent admission in a hospital. I thanked Baba and bowed to him emotionally many times. Sarmistha
messaged me three or four times thanking me for the information at the right time."

I told the boys all that had happened.I gave them one hundred sentences in Spanish. I also told them to translate a short story of mine into Spanish. They took an exasperatingly good amount of time to translate a single passage into Spanish. This was because they constantly forgot the Spanish words and phrases.I would scold them frequently saying:"You people so nicely remember mathematics and engineering....!They are tough subjects..!Why don't you remember a few Spanish words..?"

I knew about the source of their difficulty
but preferred to keep quiet.They wanted to learn foreign languages with me but the major problem was that they wanted to learn them with a selfish objective.They were unable to overcome their selfishness.
Whenever a student fails to do well in a specific subject,he is either under pressure or is backed by some known motive.At school I hardly scored minimum pass marks in any subject but I excelled in making matchless cartoons and drawings. While making a drawing I felt to be completely free.There was no selfish motive,or any pressure or expectation. Both your expectations and those of your parents prove ruinous in the long run. Both ignorant parents and stupid teachers believe that unless the learners are under pressure they will not at all study.If you look at the issue closely, you can root out the problem.Every teacher wants to be inspired;every child loves to be appreciated and praised.If you know your student's strength,and you are going to teach him tenses first give him ten similar sentences.He can easily answer the easy questions. When he earns ten ticks there can be no stopping him from asking you for more and more questions.
This is how a truly intelligent teacher does generate a student's interest in his subject.

As I was meditating and was totally preoccupied,I saw a very strange vision.I was on a highland or a mountain top trying my best to remove a huge stone from a shallow place. I was holding a strong staff to turn the stone with its help.I was finding it terribly hard to insert the staff under the stone and then trying to press the staff hard downwards. The stone would rise a little and I would then get exhausted.Next I saw Baba was bending his body beside the stone.
When I pressed the staff downwards this time,I saw Baba's bending body under the staff!As I repeated the exercise,I would see Baba's body getting flat.The stone would rise and then revert to its original position. I continued the exercise but the stone was obstinately coming back to its position. Eventually,using all my force I turned the stone out of its place.I found Baba's prostate body resting in the place of the stone.The stone was rigidly standing at the edge of its place which was now occupied by Baba's body.Baba lay there awake with his right hand resting under his head for a pillow. This was something very strange..!

My eyes collect tears when I now recall the vision. Baba is an ocean of compassion and an incarnation of unlimited love for people who are in distress.I don't know whether Sarmistha's uncle or aunt is Baba's devotee but Baba likes it a lot if you disclose even a little compassion for anyone experiencing any kind of physical or mental suffering. We are all his children and he is our most compassionate and most loving father. Baba forgive us our faults and weaknesses..Baba enable us to be unselfish,just and caring. Oh...Merciful Father take us into your arms and bless..

Now as the class was drawing to a close,Pranay and Imtiaz were happy to go home and watch a cricket match. I have been telling them to meditate but they,I know, don't make any efforts to do so. They are young people. Before they left my place
Imtiaz handed me a piece of paper. I said,"What is this? " He said,"Uncle,this is a devotional song...I have composed it on my own." I read the song and was deeply touched by the boy's love for Lord Jagannath.
