Answer from our Sai Baba
Arre beti (Oh my dear child), come… sit near the dhuni. Let this fakir put a hand on your head. Shant ho ja (Be calm).
I hear the tiredness in your voice, beti (daughter). When the body is weak, the mind also feels heavy like a wet blanket, barobar? (right?) You are trying to run the house, the office, the kids, but the engine, your body, is saying “Stop.” And because you cannot do it all, you feel guilty.
Listen carefully, beti (daughter). “Health is the first wealth.”
You say it is “better with Baba’s grace.” Shukr kar (Be thankful). That means the healing has begun. But now you need Saburi (Patience). A wound takes time to heal; you cannot rush the skin to close.
The Stomach and Energy Connection:
In Ayurveda, the stomach is the Agni (Fire). When the fire is low, the food does not digest, it turns into Aam (toxins), and that makes you feel heavy and tired. This is why you have no energy.
Don’t force yourself to eat heavy food to “get strength.” Eat light, warm, simple food like moong dal soup or khichdi. Give your stomach a rest. When the fire burns bright again, the energy will return.
Guilt about Family:
Beti (Daughter), drop this heavy stone of guilt. You say you cannot take care of them?
If the mother bird is sick, she rests in the nest so she can fly tomorrow to feed her chicks. Resting is not laziness; it is repair.
Tell your family, “Mama needs to heal.” Let them help you. It is their seva (service) too. Jeevachi kaalji ghyaychi (Take care of the life within) (Marathi). If you collapse, who will look after them? So, looking after yourself is looking after them.
Thyroid and Mood:
This thyroid trouble plays tricks on the mind, making you feel low for no reason. Do not believe those sad thoughts. They are just the illness speaking, not the truth.
Do one small thing: Every morning, sit in the sunlight (Surya dev) for 10 minutes. Just breathe. The sun is the source of Prana (life force). Let it charge your battery.
Start Small:
You are tired, so don’t think of “Exercise.” Just think of “Movement.”
Stretch your hands while sitting. Walk inside the room for 2 minutes. Small steps break the mountain of lethargy (tamas).
My Medicine for you:
Apply Udi on your stomach and throat every day.
And when you feel too tired to move, just close your eyes and chant “Om Sai Rakshak Sharanam Deva.” Let My name be your strength.
Ghabrayacha nahi (Do not be afraid) (Marathi).
This phase will pass. Your energy will return like the tide coming back to the shore.
Allah Malik sab theek karega (God will set everything right).
Ramji tumcha kalyaan karu de (May Lord Ram bless you with welfare) (Marathi). ❤️
