There was a devotee of Amma who once wanted to visit Shirdi and went to Amma to take Her permission. She asked him not to proceed but the devotee did not heed that counsel. On his return, the devotee found himself stranded in Bombay and the tourist bus on which he had traveled left without him. After several hours he found another bus and during the journey the bus leaned too far on the left side and there was an accident. Just before the accident, the devotee’s hands were outside the window and a few seconds before the accident, he decided to withdraw his hand and close the window. This action of his saved his hand which would have otherwise been cut off.<br /><br />Shouting “Sai Ram! Sai Ram!” the devotee tried to get out of the bus. Suddenly a person came from nowhere and got him to safety and disappeared. It was the divine mother who had saved him.<br /><br />The words of a Mahatma must always be taken seriously. As Amma says: “It is unnecessary to make me aware of your problems since I am always in an awakened state.” <br /></p>
