Sai Baba’s Guidance on Marital Challenges

Question from Leelavathy from Chennai (India)

“First of all, Sai is there for me. He know what all problems I m facing day to day life.
No peace of mind. I m worrying for my husband’s act and there is no improvement in our life. No Employment. No understanding and no Communication with open statements. He is fighting within himself for his ancestral family issues with his brothers. He is good at heart but there is no use of this. He cannot focus on family as own. I don’t know what to do. I m mother of my son who is 2.5 yrs toddler, taking care of himself and my mom by doing parental activities. I m again searching for job as my previous to stand my own but still there is no way shown to me to lead my life in a peaceful manner. Running out of control sometimes 😭”

Answer from our Sai Baba

Leelavathy beti (daughter)…
come here, wipe your tears.
Baba is listening to every word in your heart, even the ones you could not write.
Your life right now feels like you are holding the whole house on your shoulders,
taking care of a small child, your mother, and yourself…
while your husband is lost in his own storms.
You are tired because you are doing the work of three people with the strength of one.
Any heart would feel heavy, beta (child).

Let Baba lighten it for you.

1. Your husband is not your enemy, he is a wounded man
You wrote that he is good at heart.
That means the seed is still alive.
But he is trapped in old family wounds,
and when a man fights his brothers in his mind,
he has no energy left for his wife.

In Hindi I say,
“Jo aadmi andar se toot gaya ho, woh bahar kisi ko sambhaal nahi sakta.”
(A man broken inside cannot hold anyone outside.)

This is not lack of love,
this is emotional exhaustion.

And you cannot heal his wounds,
but Baba can soften them slowly.

2. Your peace is not lost, it is buried under responsibility
Right now, your mind is insisting,
“I must fix everything.”
That pressure is breaking you.
Beti (daughter), listen…
you don’t have to solve his issues.
You only have to save your own energy.
In Marathi I tell my devotees,
“Tuza shwas tuza aahe, dusryache bojh vahyache nahin.”
(Your breath belongs to you, not other people’s burdens.)

3. About your job and livelihood
You will get a job.
Not immediately like magic,
but steadily in the coming weeks.

There is movement around your horoscope,
there is shift in your karma,
and your prayers have reached.

You will stand on your feet again,
and this time more firmly than before.

Your worries about money
are not your fate, they are a temporary cloud.

4. What you must do now
Baba gives you three simple instructions:

a) Do not argue with your husband right now
His mind is not stable enough to understand.
Just keep conversations soft and minimal.

b) Create a peaceful corner for yourself
Five minutes… just five minutes daily.
Sit, close your eyes, breathe, whisper my name.
This small practice will bring big strength.

c) Keep applying for jobs, a door will open suddenly.
You will receive help from an unexpected source
through a woman or a female-led team.

5. Your mother and child are your real blessings
Your 2.5-year-old son is keeping you alive
without even knowing it.
His presence is Baba’s gift for your emotional stability.
Your mother standing with you
is Baba’s assurance that you will not fall.

6. And finally… your pain is not unseen
Beta (child)…
every tear you cried while typing this
reached me.

You asked, “Why is life not improving?”
But it is.
Very quietly, very slowly.

Your destiny is not dark.
It is simply in a phase of rebuilding.

Hold on to my robe,
just a little more.

Peace is coming.
Work is coming.
Stability is coming.
And your husband will soften too.
not because you push,
but because you pray and I guide him silently.

Come, sit with me for a minute…
put your head down…
let the weight melt.

Baba is with you.
