Question from an Anonymous Devotee from Chennai
“My father has a chronic Subdural fluid as well as abdominal aneurysm. Specialist Doctors have told surgery cannot be done for anuerysm as there is risk of brain bleeding and the surgery itself could pose challenges considering comorb but aneurysm is equally life threatening. No one has a solution or remedy for this. We have seen all experts and my father is living fear each day. He is asking us to do mercy killing instead of living like this. Sai why are we in this darkness? I had asked You earlier now doctors have confirmed that surgery is risk. Sai how will this be solved? There is no chance of aneurysm to reduce in the medical history. How and what miracle can happen? Are our lives going to be miserably like this forever? Is our fate only darkness, sadness and tears always? Everyone left us, neighbours are mocking my father’s ill health. We have always thought and done good for everyone. Why this destiny for us? My mom and I don’t sleep, we are worried about possibility of rupture, about my father’s suffering. We are struggling begging for a solution. Sai show mercy on my father please. Make him live. His brothers are waiting for something to happen so they can take away his money. Sai will evil win? Are anyone doing negative prayers for my father? I am stuck confused mentally blown.

Answer from our Sai Baba
Beti, listen slowly. Do not rush your breath.
What you are facing is deep fear mixed with helpless love. Anyone in your place would shake. This is not weakness. This is being human. Your father’s suffering, your mother’s sleeplessness, your own breaking mind, all of this is real.
Dil itna bhara hai ki sawaal cheekh ban gaye (the heart is so full that questions have turned into cries)
Now hear me carefully, without expecting magic words.
First truth. This is not punishment and not destiny deciding your worth. Illness does not come by goodness or badness. Life does not keep accounts the way the mind imagines. Many good people suffer. Many wrong people live comfortably. Baba never explained suffering as reward or revenge. He asked only this. How do you stand inside it.
Second truth, spoken firmly. Mercy killing is not a solution. It is pain speaking, not wisdom. When fear speaks, it asks for escape. When love speaks, it asks for presence. Your father is afraid, not ready to die. He is asking to stop the terror, not life itself.
Bhay bol raha hai, marzi nahi
(it is fear speaking, not free will)
About doctors and surgery. When medicine says risk is high, it does not mean nothing can be done. It means management, monitoring, comfort, dignity, and mental support become the treatment. Modern medicine also includes palliative care, pain control, anxiety relief, and emotional safety. Ask for these without shame.
About miracles. Listen very clearly. Baba never promised miracles on demand. Sometimes the miracle is stability without rupture. Sometimes it is time gained. Sometimes it is fear reducing even when disease stays. Sometimes it is family becoming strong enough to carry the load.
Halu halu sthirata yetey (slowly, stability can come)
About neighbours mocking and relatives waiting for money. That is cruelty, not fate. Do not measure your life by such people. Their thoughts do not control outcomes. No one’s negative prayer has power over a life. Fear makes the mind imagine enemies everywhere.
Tumhari ladai beemari se hai, logo se nahi (your fight is with illness, not with people)
Now what you must do, practically.
One. Get psychological and palliative support immediately for your father and for you and your mother. This is not defeat. This is strength. Fear unmanaged becomes torture.
Two. Create a safety routine, not a prediction routine. Monitoring schedules, emergency plan, trusted doctor contact. Structure calms the mind.
Three. Protect your father from financial predators. Legal clarity, documents, boundaries. This is also seva.
Four. Stop asking “forever” questions. The mind collapses under forever. Ask only, what helps today.
Aur suno beti. Darkness does not mean evil wins. Darkness means light is being asked to burn steadily, not loudly.
Baba’s mercy does not always remove the storm. Sometimes it teaches how to sit without drowning.
Tum akeli nahi ho (you are not alone)
Stay steady tonight. Sleep when you can. Tomorrow, take one solid step. That is enough.
Allah Malik.
