Stories Of Addiction Breaking... Sai Baba Helps Break The Chains

I The Cocaine Raft: Drugs Into Salt

A cocaine smuggler who sold his wares from a raft on the Indian waterways.. approached the bank and saw police coming toward him. Suddenly a man appeared from the other side and entered the boat..went straight to his cocaine stash.. and touched it. The police directly entered the boat..and searching it foundthe booty. When they tasted it.. it was salt. They left. The smuggler turned to the man.. who said 'Your wife has prayed many years for children.. but I have not granted her request because your business harms children.' From that day forward the man never dealt in cocaine.. and years later someone saw him at the ashram, the proud father of children.

Whether it is Jesus turning water into wine, Baba turning cocaine into salt,
or a fruit tree turning rain into pear juice, God's miracles are delightful.

II Alcohol Materializes

B1 (he prefers to be anonymous) was frequently asked to translate into English by Baba (despite the fact that people around the world said Baba spoke their native language better than they did) .

B1 was reluctant to do this partly because Baba's advice was sometimes strict.

One couple came in for a private interview. The wife spoke of her husband's alcoholism. Baba said 'He may keep drinking.' The woman replied that doctors said it was harming his health. Baba said 'One day he will also see me at the end of a bottle.'

Time passed. The couple returned home. One morning in America by their bed had materialized one of the world's most expensive brands of whisky, one which could not be purchased in America. Over the next 2 days, the man drank the bottle, and when it was empty he saw Baba's form. He never took another drop. They placed the empty bottle on their altar.


III Smoking Behind The Building

'Where are you going Bangaru? ' asked Baba
of a boy in his school, and then made a motion
of smoking, for He knew that the boy had
been smoking behind a compound building in violation of
the school rules. Bangaru is Baba's affectionate
term for many of His devotees and means 'raw gold'.

The boy denied he had been smoking, until Baba
held out His palm and materialized a photo
of the boy smoking behind the building.

Baba in His incarnation as Shirdi Sai Baba
smoked a cigar, but does not in this life.

Baba has for some immediately removed the desire
for nicotine. For others He has gradually
removed the desire.

IV Addiction To Cocaine

To one who asked for help with cocaine addiction, Baba gave a piece of chalk and said the man should write Om on the blackboard daily, and by the amount of chalk it took to write the letter, reduce his cocaine use. When the chalk was gone, the man was no longer an addict.

For others he has immediately removed the addiction.

V Coffee

A woman decided to surrender each cup of coffee to Baba. She would pray and then flip a coin. Heads would be yes, tails no. Over 3 days she got 9 tails in a row,9 no's. The odds of that's occurring randomly are 1 in 512.

VI Relationsihip

A.

A woman who wanted out of a harmful relationship heard Baba's voice in meditation say

'As much as possible sleep under the midnight sky.' She began to sleep on the porch... which helped in the weaning process.

B.

A woman married to a man from the Mideast was told at the ashram to return to their home for 3 weeks and then to return. Upon arriving she discovered her husband had been involved with another woman for a long time. This knowledge gave her the strength to divorce him.
