2-( continued from post 1.......) Sure enough when we reached the highway junction of Nasik, the road was blocked for cars and there was a batallion of police force with guns and they told us to go back or stay in Nasik for the night and travel the next day- the highway would be open then. I was very stubborn and wanted to go that very day to Shirdi. I asked my driver to take the car via different routes to bypass the junction road where the police force was but whereever we went, we came back to that point where the police were!! This went on for about 2 hours!! Then as I was wondering what I should do, I suddenly got a whiff of Agarbatti (incense) fragrance in the car and I knew that a presence was with me and now I would find the road. I did not mention the fragrance to my people in the car thinking that maybe only I smelt it but later I got to know that all of them had got it and they too were quiet!! I saw a very thin lane and asked the driver to take the car there. When we entered this lane I saw a small cycle shop on my left and stopped the car there. There was a man standing who asked me my problem and I mentioned that I wanted to go to Shirdi but could not find the road. There was a teenager with black curly hair and very fair sitting on a stool outside the shop and he jumped up, came forward and told me that he could show us the way where we could bypass the police and go straight in between the highway and then straight to Shirdi!! It sounded very good so he sat in the car with us to show the way. He sat next to the driver, right behind him on the rear seat was my aunt, next to her was my mother and I was next to my mother behind the driver. The boy took us via private society roads and compounds and then straight in between the highway with the trucks going on all sides!! We would have never found this road! He stopped the car in the middle of the highway and got down and asked us to proceed. I could not see him when he got down since he was on the other side, so I asked my aunt who was on his side to give him some money to go back. As she took out the money- the boy bent down to look at me from his side through the open window and it was as if his eyes pierced my soul and I was dumbstruck and my hair stood on end!! I said to myself My God, I know who this is!! He said to me in Hindi Mai paise ke liye thodi aayaa hoon!!( I have not come for money!!). In my daze I said No?! He said No then he said When you go further down you will find a private society gate- tell the guard that Patilsaab has asked to let you go through the gate. Then the guard will open the gate and let you go through. I said okay. My car zoomed off and I went on looking behind till I could see him no more and then all of us screamed together and cried because all of us knew, that was Sai who had come to take us to Shirdi!! The gate was wide open and no one stopped us!! Like Ma always says If you sincerely call out I am there. For me all my experiences I have had on this journey have all been due to the immense grace of Ma. Jai Ma.
