SHRI SAI LEELA - Under Construction

SHRI SAI LEELA – APRIL 1986things people said and wrote to me; the prayers offered; theremittances from Sai-bandhus; the wise counsel I got from Saibrothers;the attention from the Doctor. I'd never felt so loved.I learned something about faith too. My accidents taught me tobelieve in myself also. We can be Sai-devotees for a long time andsay, we have faith, but until we actually believe in our faith, dependon it and see it work, it does not do a whole lot of good. It's likehaving all this power that never gets used.Shirdi Sai did not want the accident to happen to me, and Hecertainly did not make it happen. He helped me in so many, manyways by letting me fall on the left side on a parked car instead ofletting fall on the right only to be crused to pulp. It was Sai who tookMotherly care of me.The Doctor told me that it would take months before I could sit crosslegged.Someone said that I'd get back 75% of the use of left leg. Isaid he was being too conservative. "I intend to get full use of itback". I told Sai "You hooked everything back up. So I'm going to useit all."Shirdi Sai set me right soon. I could sit cross-legged soon enough. Ilisten to Lord Sainath and depend on Him for direction. ParamahansaYogananda rightly said: "Trust more in God Believe that He whocreated you will maintain you".Sai-bandhus I talked to about my accident and the things thathappened to me sometimes say: "Well, Nathenji, that's wonderful, butif you could have that day back, would you really want to go through itagain?"42WWW.SAILEELAS.ORG
