In the year 1975 my wife and two daughters felt jubiliant as we planned to visit Shirdi in August that year and it was their first visit to Shirdi. However quite unexpectedly my wife fell ill in the first week of July and she had high fever for one week continuously. It slowly turned into typhoid. She entered 2nd week of typhoid and she developed certain complications like green diarrhoea. She had spells of unconsciousness at intervals and her condition caused us a lot of worry. On 22nd july 1975 at about 3 pm my wife started shouting at me, asking me to remove the photo of Shri Sainath hanging on the wall right before her and to throw it away. She started sobbing bitterly saying "Sai Baba is not responding at all. All your prayers to Him are sheer waste, throw the photo away". I was helplessly bewildered at her outburst. No doubt it was a grim situation. I tried to convince her in a soft tone saying, "Look here! I am all the while praying to Shri Sai Baba to give you strength and courage to withstand this ordeal, so that you can clear off the bad effect of your past actions. I am not praying Him to remove the ailment or defer it to some other occasion. Do not think Shri Sai Baba is unkind to you. He knows when to choose the right moment to come to your rescue". I did not know whether my words had the required impact on her. She did continue her sobbing for some time and slowly drifted into sleep. At about 10 or 11 pm, same night I was lying in the easy chair meditating on Shri Sai Baba and ardently praying him to show mercy on my ailing wife, as she was unable to undergo the agony any more and to give a turning point in her condition. I slowly opened my eyes and I was startled to see what was happening before me. I saw Shri Sai Baba sitting on the corner of the cot and gently passing his hand over my wife's forehead. I could see Shri Sai Baba in an airy form and He was as clear as He was seen in the photo at Dwarkamai. I kicked off my chair and rushed towards the bed of my wife to have a clear glimpse of Shri Sai Baba and feel His touch. Oh! The vision melted away. A thrilling and happiest moment for me! My wife woke up to the noise caused on account of my swift movements. In an ecstatic mood and with a choking voice I told her, ''How dare you accuse Shri Sai Baba as unkind. See! Here He is at your side massaging your head gently. Are you blind not to recognise Him?" I do not know whether she had understood what all I uttered in broken voice she went into deep sleep again. I really felt relieved at that moment as I knew Shri Sai Baba had came to her rescue. I slept to my heart's content that night after passing through sleepless nights continuously for the past 20 days. At about 4 am I suddenly woke up, as my wife was crying aloud 'Baba Baba’ and searching around the cot. I made her sit quietly on the cot and after composing herself she narrated to me the dream she had just then. She was running alone passing through jungles, mountains and towns knowing not where she was. She was terrified and cried for help and a voice came from behind her. She saw an old man sitting at a distant corner and beckoning her to come near Him. In fear she ran towards the old man and to her utter surprise she found that He was no other than Shri Sai Baba Himself (in the form of Shri Sai Baba sitting in Dwarkamai). She prostrated before Him weeping for help. Shri Sai Baba, in a gentle tone asked her not to get agitated. He asked her to take the teerth (holy water) and be calm. She did take the teerth in her dream and the vision melted away at this point. Our joy knew no bounds on hearing the contents of the dream. I told my wife that Shri Sai Baba had blessed her and it was an open call for her to visit Shirdi. The typhoid fever took a favourable turn from that night onwards and she got rid of it in course of time. We all went to Shirdi in October 1975 and enjoyed Dassehra festival at Shirdi.
