Good Thoughts on Thursday

Aum Sairam

May This Thursday [Baba's Day] Bring You Strength, Good luck, Success,
Happiness And Joy

It is interesting to note, how Sri Sai Baba encouraged good thoughts.
You have to surrender yourself completely to Him with love, and
devotion, and then, you will see, how He helps you, off and on, in so
many things. Some saint has said that, when you get a good thought,
immediately after awakening from sleep, and if you develop the same
afterward, during the day, your intellect will be unfolded and your
mind will attain calmness. Shri Hemadpant wanted to try this.

On one Wednesday night, before going to bed, he thought : "Tomorrow is
Thursday an auspicious day and the place, viz., Shirdi is so holy; so
let me pass the whole day in remembering and celebrating the Ram Nam",
and then he slept. Next morning, when he got up, he remembered, without
any effort, the name of Ram and was much pleased. He then, after
finishing his morning duties, went to see Sri Sai Baba with flowers.
When he left Dixit Wada, and was just passing Butti Wada [present
Samadhi Mandir] he heard a beautiful song, that was being sung nicely
by one Aurangabadkar, in the Masjid, before Sri Sai Baba.

The song was "Guru-kripanjan payo mere bhai", in which he says that, he
got collyrium in the form of his Guru's grace, which opened his vision
and made him see Ram, in and out, in sleep, dream, and waking state and
everywhere. There were so many songs; but why was this song,
particularly chosen by Aurangabadkar. Is this not a curious coincidence
arranged by Sri Sai Baba to amplify the determination of Shri Hemadpant
to sung unceasingly Ram Nam during the day.

All saints agree on and lay stress upon the efficacy of uttering Shree
Ram's name, in fulfilling the ambitions of the Bhaktas and in
protecting and saving them from all calamities.
