Dream 7 (early November, 1997):
This was probably the only dream that I had which related to Shirdi
Baba and Sathya Sai Baba. I had a full view of Shirdi Baba and saw the
back view of the bottom robe portion with only two feet visible of Sathya
Sai Baba.
It was a big auditorium type place filled with people. All of them
were supposedly waiting for some kind of function or darshan to be
performed by Baba. Behind the auditorium seating arrangements, there
were two huge wooden double doors extending from the floor all the way
up to the ceiling. I asked the people sitting in the auditorium what was
behind those doors and they said that is where Baba was, but they said I

in the auditorium and started playing with a little kid. Soon one of the
back doors opened and I could see the huge area behind it. I kept looking
in that direction for a while but nothing happened. And I got busy playing

kid, Sathya Sai Baba had come out from that door and was walking
through the aisle. By the time I realized, Baba had already gone past me
and all I could see was his back and that too only the bottom portion of his
orange robe with the back of his two feet walking away. I felt bad that I

that Shirdi Baba was in front but surrounded with people. He said that he
wanted to see me. At that point I saw RG asking other people to move
aside and thus clearing the way for Baba to come towards me. Shirdi Baba
holding a black container in his right hand and wearing a white robe
walked towards me. I touched his feet, he blessed me and then said you
owe me seventeen dollars. I opened my purse and pulled out 10, 5 and
two 1dollar bills and put it in the black container that Baba was holding.
The container had little bit of oil at the bottom. That was the end of the
dream.
At that time I did not understand the full scope and purpose of this
dream. Later in my meditation it was revealed that the 17 dollars that
