Answer from our Sai Baba
Sandhya beti, namaskaram. Sit quietly and read this with a soft heart.
You have carried struggle for a long time, and when struggle lasts many years, the heart naturally asks, “Will it ever get better?” That question is not lack of faith. It is tired hope asking for rest.
Man khup kaal jhuklela aahe (the mind has been bent for a long time)
First, listen to this clearly.
Your life difficulties are not punishment, and they are not proof that your devotion is less. Many sincere people live simple, struggling lives, and still walk very close to God. Baba never measured closeness by money or comfort.
Now about your husband’s earnings.
Income improves when opportunity, health, and timing align. It does not always rise in one jump. Often it improves slowly, in phases. Your husband’s effort and steadiness matter more than sudden fortune.
Halu halu pragati hotey (progress happens slowly)
About your son “reaching great heights”.
Every parent dreams this, and it comes from love. But listen gently. Greatness does not always mean status or wealth. A good heart, self-respect, stability, and right values are also great heights. When these are strong, outer success finds its way in its own time.
Mulacha bhav majboot asla ki marg sapadto (when the child’s foundation is strong, the path opens)
You spoke of past-life connection and karma. Let me say this with care.
Karma is not a punishment system. It is a learning flow. Some families carry more responsibility, more endurance. That does not mean less grace. Often it means deeper strength is being shaped quietly.
Tumchi seva mothi aahe, pan seva mhanje kashta nahi (your devotion is great, but devotion does not mean endless suffering)
Now what will help you practically.
Keep your life simple and expenses realistic.
Support your husband emotionally, not with worry.
Encourage your son to build skills and discipline, not pressure.
Keep one small daily prayer or remembrance, not many vows.
Most important. Stop measuring your life against others. Comparison steals peace.
Lokanchya aayushyachi tulna karu naka (do not compare your life with others’ lives)
You asked whether things will get better. I will say this honestly and gently.
Life will not become suddenly perfect, but it can become lighter, more stable, and more peaceful if you walk steadily without fear.
You are not forgotten. You are not alone. Your sincerity has meaning.
Ram ji bhala kare.
