Answer from our Sai Baba
Beta (child), sit easy. Your fear is real, but your father is not alone. When a family feels surrounded by darkness, the first thing you must do is bring back steadiness to the heart. Only then do you see the next step clearly.
Let me tell you what is happening and what you must do.
Illness does not mean abandonment
When health becomes weak, families often think “Why us? Why now?”
But illness is never a punishment. It is a phase in the body’s journey.
Some conditions take time, some improve quickly, but every illness has a path, and in that path, grace works quietly.
In Hindi I tell you,
“Bimari mein sabse pehla ilaaj, ghabrana band karo.”
(In illness, the first treatment is to stop panicking.)
Fear weakens the mind and the body’s own strength.
Your father needs emotional safety
Doctors will treat the body. You must hold his mind steady.
Talk to him gently. Sit near him, even without words.
Fear reduces when a loved one sits close.
In Marathi I say,
“Aajjancha haath dhara, shant raha. Tyanna tumchi shakti haveli aahe.”
(Hold the elder’s hand, stay calm. They need your strength.)
Give him small hope every day, not big promises, just presence.
Your family is not in darkness
Darkness is not the absence of light; it is the absence of direction.
Right now, your family is confused, tired, worried about the future.
So I will give you three clear actions.
Three-step guidance
Step 1 – Stabilise health
Tell your doctor everything honestly. Get a second opinion if needed. Keep medicines on time, keep the environment peaceful.
Step 2 – Strengthen the emotional field
When one person in the house panics, the whole energy drops.
When one person remains calm, the whole house gains strength.
You be that person. Even if your heart trembles, let your voice stay calm.
Step 3 – Daily prayer rhythm
Every morning, light a diya (lamp).
Say quietly, “Baba, raksha karo.” (Baba, protect us.)
Two minutes only.
This creates a steady inner circuit that gives your father unseen strength.
Why you feel helpless
Because you want instant clarity and situations are not giving it yet.
But remember this line:
“Jahan insaan ki shakti ruk jaati hai, wahan se meri shakti shuru hoti hai.”
(Where human strength stops, that is where My strength begins.)
When you surrender the outcome, solutions start forming.
What you can expect next
Your father’s situation will not stay stuck.
There will be a turning point, not sudden, but gradual.
You will notice small improvements first, like better sleep, better appetite, more calmness.
These are signs that grace is moving.
Keep your patience steady and your faith simple.
Fakir’s Blessing
You are not walking this alone.
Your father is held.
Your family is being watched over.
Light is already approaching even if your eyes cannot see it yet.
