Answer from our Sai Baba
Divya beti, sit down for a moment and breathe with me. Read this slowly.
Your fear is understandable. When time feels short and syllabus feels big, the mind starts shouting. But fear does not mean you are finished. Fear only means the mind is tired.
Dar aata hai jab zimmedari mehsoos hoti (fear comes when responsibility is felt)
First, listen to this clearly.
You do not need to revise everything in 48 hours. That is not possible for anyone, and Baba never asks for the impossible. What you need now is calm selection, not panic coverage.
You said, “Please just stay with me.”
Listen gently. Presence is not something that comes and goes. Support is felt when you steady yourself and act.
Baba dar ke saath nahi baithta, himmat ke saath khada hota (Baba does not sit with fear, He stands with courage)
Now the guidance for these 48 hours, very simple.
First. Stop counting what is pending.
That list will only scare you. Choose the most important topics, the ones you know partially. Strengthen them.
Second. Revise smart, not wide.
Do not open new chapters.
Revise summaries, formulas, headings, key concepts.
Understanding one topic well is better than touching five lightly.
thoda pan pakka kara (do a little, but make it firm)
Third. Study in short blocks.
25 to 30 minutes study, 5 minutes rest.
No phone in the room.
No self scolding.
Just presence.
abhi kaam pe aao, baad ka dar baad mein (come back to the task now, fear of later can wait)
Fourth. About fear of passing or failing.
You did well not to ask that question. That question weakens the mind. Right now, the only useful question is,
“What can I do in the next 30 minutes?”
That question builds strength.
Now hear this from my heart.
You are not alone in that exam hall.
Not because of miracles, but because you will carry the calm you build now.
Presence does not remove difficulty.
Presence helps you face it without breaking.
man sthir asel tar buddhi kaam karte (when the mind is steady, intelligence works)
Do not promise perfection. Promise effort with sincerity. That is enough.
May your fear soften into focus, may your memory support you where you have studied, may your mind stay present one question at a time, and may you feel held without needing proof.
Allah Malik.
