Megha

Aum Sairam

Sri Sai Baba worked on Megha internally so that Megha changed considerably.

Megha came to Sri Sai Baba's fold via H.V.Sathe. As an orthodox Brahmin, his simple mind refused to see God in the Jewel of Shirdi. When Megha approached Sri Sai Baba, Sri Sai Baba yelled at him, kick out the rascal You are a high caste Brahmin and I am a low Muslim. Strange it might sound; the ego of being a sattwic is still a blob of ignorance.

Megha had to endure the mental turmoil, traveling from place to place thinking of God's grace. After several months, he was allowed into the masjid and he began to see Sri Sai Baba through different eyes and worship him as he would worship his beloved deity Shiva. Seri Sai Baba, without unsettling the mind of this simple folk, began giving him the experiences that reinforced his faith in God. Not only that, his experiences was such
that he was completely convinced of Sri Sai Baba's divinity.

A practice of Megha worth mentioning is his method of worshipping Sri Sai Baba; he used worship Sri Sai Baba's picture in the wada and later proceed to Dwarakamai for Sri Sai Baba's darshan. He used to participate in regular worship and Aarti’s. When Megha passed away in 1912, Sri Sai Baba said, this is the true devotee of mine.

It is well known that inscrutable are Sri Sai Baba's ways. Megha's episode is a nice example where Sri Sai Baba spoke very less but did a magnificent job so that Megha's ignorance was completely driven out and he was able to see God in the most tangible way.
