An ordinary man wanted to travel from Coimbatore to Odisha to see his old Mother

Hi,

I hurt my parents a lot in the past 3 years. I love them a lot but I have really hurt them irrespective of the fact that they too show their anger on me. I love my parents so much but now a days, I really get tensed a lot when they speak to me about life. Anyway, I just wish to be calm as they mean a lot to me. Over the past few month, I was working on various ideas. I wanted do something which will reach out to thousands and change their life for good. I wanted to sell Posters but eventually, I feel that’s not for me and I kept it on hold. I wanted to do something online which is really touching lives. I do it with StarSai but there must be a way I can do little good deeds every minute through my work.

Mean while, Here’s a photo contributed by Satya

An ordinary man wanted to travel from Coimbatore to Odisha to see his old Mother

There’s a big advantage in travelling by bus and walking where ever you wanna go. I will miss this in few days. Today, When I got down the bus and was walking to Saibaba temple, a Man holding bag was anxiously asking me “Will the bus to railway station come by this way?”

I usually think such people in Bus stop are dangerous to talk to and was about to walk away but I stopped and listened to him. He was speaking in Hindi and I understood, he can’t read the bus boards written in Tamil. I usually avoid speaking Hindi since anyone can find our I don’t know the language well.  This time, I tried to speak to him and told him the bus numbers. He said “OK Bus number 32…”

I took my mobile and searched for bus that leads to Coimbatore Railway Station. I realized it will be good if I take him past Saibaba temple near the Ganga Hospital stopping as there’s frequency of Bus number 11 which can take him sooner to Railway Station. I requested him to walk along with me. As we started walking, he asked me to check Trains to Odisha from Coimbatore. Since it was Sunday, I told him there are two trains which goes through Odisha, one at 8.45 PM and 9.30 PM. ( I honestly don’t know about these routes and just told him these trains are available on Sunday).

I told him that I am supposed to go Saibaba temple but will walk with and then go back. I asked him what he’s doing and he said that he’s working in Coonoor in some Military base there. I din’t got him clearly. He must be a labor worker.  I asked him why are you going to Odisha in hurry and trains will be crowded. He said “I got call that my Mother is sick and in serious condition”. He don’t have a Father too. I asked him if he doesn’t have any brother or sister. He said that he’s the only one. I gave him the little Saibaba photo I had with me. He was happy about it. Kept it near his eyes and then in his pocket.The bus came and I asked him to get on it.

I wish the bus came a bit late as I wanted to give him some money for travel expenses.

Sai, there must be a way I can do little good deeds everyday and every minute

I came to Saibaba temple, lit lamps and prayed Saibaba. I was a bit depressed and sad. I stood in the parking space and was chatting with my Sai friend in Singapore. Then, I saw this girl who was speaking to Saibaba looking at Dwarakamai portrait.  I usually speak to Saibaba but do it only at home. I try not to speak infront of everyone in the temple.

When I was coming around Dhuni, I thought Saibaba must bless me to do something that will be like a good deed I do every single minute. I can do it online too.  The ordinary Man with whom I walked to the bus stop was very thankful to me as I showed him a way. Its just a small good deed and any one can do it. We just need opportunity. There are people who needs such little favor to grow in their life.I wanted to do such a projects which will make me feel satisfied that I lived a good life. There must be something that Sai wants me to do and hope he makes me do it.

Everyday, we must ask ourselves if we did something good. It could be for us or others but being good and doing good matters a lot for Saibaba than doing any pooja for him or even visiting Shirdi.
