We live in California and by the
grace of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, we have visited Him, twice, in India. The
first time was at Puttaparthi, a little over a year ago. The next time
was in Bombay, when we attended the "World Conference of Sathya Sai
Organisations". It was at this Conference that we were shown (by another
delegate from California, a photographer himself) an outstanding
picture of Baba, where on the gown of Baba, the picture of a clock, a
clock marking spiritual progress, had miraculously appeared, when the
camera was clicked. HE was then standing facing such a clock but, who
could have imagined that it would appear on the gown HE was wearing?
We very
much wanted one like it, but, could not get one in India. We thought Lee
Halpersm had taken the photograph and we decided to ask Lee if he could
make a print for us. We saw him several times; each time we went to ask
him we were interrupted and so, we gave up the idea of asking him.
Next to
my bedroom, we have the library and on the wall we have an electric
clock. About 2 months ago, one night, the clock started banging against
the wall.
I got out
of bed and stood looking at it. It kept up the noise. I thought the
best thing to do was to disconnect it, but, it would require moving a
heavy chinese chest. So, I went back to bed; that moment the noise
ceased! I thought we could get the clock cared for in the morning. My
husband had not heard the noise.
The next
night, too, when I went to bed, the clock started banging against the
wall! I went in and pulled the chest away from the connection. As I
looked down between the chest and the connection, I saw a small object,
like a luminous watch, with hands on it. It was the picture we wanted so
much, Sri Sathya Sai Baba wearing the spiritual watch!
What a
thrill it was for us to know that God came into our house to give us our
heart's desire! And where else would He put it but under clock?
And, how wonderful, He drew our attention to His gift, by the banging of the metal clock on the wall !!!
