Question from an Anonymous Devotee from Chennai, India
“When will my prayers get answered? I’m searching for mental peace and wellness. When will those get answered baba? Why me? Why all those things happened to me? You know what is happening to me for the past few days. Why baba? Didn’t I deserve true love?”
Emotion expressed: Worried

Come beta… naam nahi lena hai, theek hai, but tumhari dhadkan ka bojh clearly sunai deta hai. (Come child… no need to take the name, alright, but the burden of your heartbeat is clearly audible.)
Your heart is tired, confused, and asking, “Why me?”
Let Baba answer you with softness, because your question is not just a question… it is a wound speaking.
“When will my prayers get answered?”
Prayers are not denied to you, beti.
They are ripening.
Some prayers open quickly, like morning flowers.
Some take time, like mangoes that need the full summer before sweetness comes.
Your prayers are not lost, they are in process.
Tumhari zindagi me abhi healing ka daur chal raha hai, not punishment. (In your life right now, the phase of healing is going on, not punishment.)
“When will mental peace come?”
Peace does not fall from the sky;
peace comes the moment the heart stops wrestling with the past.
Right now your mind is fighting, resisting, questioning…
and that is why peace feels far.
But it is not far.
It is waiting just one step beyond your fear.
Start with small rests:
2 minutes of quiet breathing with Baba’s name.
Let that slowly clean the inner space.
“Why me? Why did all this happen to me?”
Beti… some storms come not to destroy,
but to remove the people who never deserved your heart.
You think life was unfair.
But kabhi kabhi, what breaks you is actually what saves you. (But sometimes, what breaks you is actually what saves you.)
Tumne jo dard jhela hai,(The pain you have endured,)
woh tumhari value kam nahi karta, (it does not reduce your value,)
woh tumhari soul ko polish karta hai. (it polishes your soul.)
“Didn’t I deserve true love?”
Of course you do.
You deserve soft love, loyal love, peaceful love, the kind that makes you feel safe, not scared.
But let this truth settle today:
The love you deserve cannot come to you while your heart is still bleeding for the one who didn’t value it.
First healing…
then blessing…
then the right person.
What Baba wants you to know right now:
You are not abandoned.
You are not unlucky.
You are not forgotten.
You are not unworthy.
You are simply in a chapter of recovery.
In Marathi I would say,
“Dukh hi shikhoon jata, pan man shuddh karun jata.”
(Pain teaches, but it also purifies the heart.)
Your peace will return.
Your prayers will open.
Your heart will love again, better than before.
This time not with fear, but with dignity.
For now, just rest your hurt in my lap.
Say softly,
“Baba, heal what I cannot.”
And I will.
Shant ho ja, beta. (Become peaceful, child.)
Sabka Malik Ek.
