In plain words
Only Mother Sai went and helped her. The second time, I went at night and saw her. At daybreak I went. They took an ECG. The defect that was seen yesterday is not in the ECG today. It is normal. Blood pressure 130/80. Pulse 80. Everything is perfectly normal. Dr. Alreja and Chari came up: ‘What is this? It is a great wonder to us,’ they said. ‘Are you still in wonder? This is natural to Me, a wonder to you,’ I said.
Whether it is saving like this or punishing, you do not truly recognise the Sai-tattva, which is full of such compassion and of Prema of so many kinds. When you listen to what you are told, you get on all the better. It was this very lady I told three years ago: Heat is coming over you like this. You must not exert yourself in any way any more. You must not do the cooking. Swami, I am well. Thinking Swami was saying just anything, she went on cooking and moving about; that is how it went. She did not listen to what I said. In just the same way I tell so many people, ‘Do not do this.’ But they do not act as they are told. Afterwards they go through the suffering of it. Then within Myself I feel the pain: ‘What is this? However much I say, however much I teach them for their welfare, their progress and their happiness, they do not understand it.’ Even so: if I were to say something for My own sake, you need not follow it. But you are narrow mind. You keep following a narrow feeling, but you do not understand a broad feeling at all. That is why listening to good words is the very breath of man's life. Whoever speaks them, we must listen to good words. Having listened, we must try to put them into practice.
Life is like a bubble on water. Even as we are thinking of it, who knows when it will go. Why should we not, for the sake of such an impermanent life, experience the life that is eternal Satya? So whether the words are spoken by teachers, or by any other elders, or by Swami, follow good words well and try to put them into practice.
You are doing bhajans. All of you have Prema for Swami. You have Bhakti. But you do not know how this Prema, this Bhakti, should be. This Prema must not be selfish. Come what may, we must keep this Prema as Prema.
Even if, with nothing to eat, hardships come by the crore, even if wife and children go to the burning-ground, and wealth crumbles, even if incurable illnesses befall,
whatever state of things comes upon us, our mind must stay in one place.
