Pilgrimage - A divine intervention!
Recently, I visited Shirdi and came back feeling at peace with myself. Shirdi is a place of immense power and attraction and you have to experience the peace within when you are in the presence of a divine power.When I prayed at Shirdi, I felt a sense of security and I gave up all my fears and sorrows for the time being. I wanted to convey to Baba that he was supremely more intelligent than me and that he should take care of his followers. It was a sense of surrender I felt and joy and gratitude for a higher power looking down at me. I also felt my mind expand; I was more intuitive and perceptive. Strange, but true!
It was 5 am on a Saturday morning, the town had come alive and people were dressed in all their finery to meet Baba. Legend has it, that people grow more intuitive and peaceful in the presence of a higher being. And I felt the same way. Amidst the chants of pure devotion, I felt cleansed and refreshed and a certain peace overtook my being because I knew I was in the presence of someone more powerful and greater than me.
The simple, but rich, sensitive and perceptive beings of our Hindu saints have a positive impact on the personality. You feel a sense of oneness with the universe, and the fact that troubles are coming your way only to improve your personality, is a message I received.
I prayed for my family, my friends and well wishers alike. Shirdi’s Sai Baba has an alluring presence and you can feel a sense of detachment and abandonment when you are in His presence. I am a Shirdi Sai Baba fan now!
I came back feeling refreshed and reassured that my life was in safe hands and that there is truly someone out there looking out for all of us lesser mortals.
