OM SRI SAI SÄDHU JANA POSHANÄYA NAMAH - (8) Salutations to Sri Sai, Who looks after and sustains good people.
God incarnates in order to increase and sustain virtue and righteousness in people. Whenever the life of a virtuous person is beset with difficulties, Swami provides the strength to cope with these difficulties and removes the obstacles that hamper one's progress.
Once the daughter of Shri Radhakrishna Chetty (an old-time devotee of Swami), Smt. Vijayakumari, along with her husband Shri Hemchand, had gone for Swami's darshan. Swami came up to them and said, "Kumaramma, you have been promoted."
When she replied in the affirmative saying "Oh ! yes," Swami further said, "You did not ask, in which area of life you are promoted ? Shanideva has entered your birth chart." Unperturbed Smt. Vijayakumari replied, "Oh ! That is very good, Swami ! Why be afraid when we have God standing behind us like a mighty mountain ?"
Thereafter, the couple had to pass through a very difficult phase. They suffered a financial crisis. Although they had means of livelihood, no income was available. They were both under tremendous psychological stress. But their faith in Saishwar was unchanged. It grew deeper and stronger. Once Swami asked her, "You need some money, isn't it ? Shall I give you some ?" At this Vijayakumari replied, "Swami ! You alone are feeding us. Do not give us money, but indirectly, please help us to earn it." This earnest plea with total surrender reached Bhagawan. Swami penned them a letter. In it Swami wrote, "Your prayer from the sorrowful heart has reached Me. It has won My heart. Now I am bound to you. Don't be sad. In the near future you will be happy. Very soon you will sing and dance on the waves of ananda." With Swami's blessings their sufferings and misfortune finally came to an end. They recovered financially and happiness dawned on them. The family was able to overcome this difficult period only due to Swami's support and now are spending their old age happily contemplating on Swami. This is how Swami always stands by those who are good and saintly.
