A Flower From My Lips To Yours, Sai

 What a Om Sairam Beloved Amrita Bhaktas of Lord Sai

Glory to the most High God Sathya Sai Baba, His Glories, Leelas and Stories are exlated
to the highest heavens.

Recently, Swami taught me a great lesson and submerged me in His Omniscience. Omnipotence and Omnipresence.

It all started back in January, when the dental hygienist noticed a white patch on the side of my tongue. I told her that I had bitten my tongue a couple of times during sleep. She told me that I should keep a watch on it since it seems my tooth was snagging it. A few months went by and I kind of ignored it and kept biting it inadvertently in my sleep.

Then in the beginning of May I had a disturbing dream:

In the dream, a doctor said to me "that cancer on your tongue." I woke up frightened, jumped out of bed and put on my clothes nervously, thinking I made go to the dentist right away. It was early in the morning and of course the dentist office was not open. I calmed myself down and went back to sleep later. Curiously, again, in a new dream I was waiting for an appointment with another dental doctor. I was number i think 308 or something like that. Finally, I was called into the examination room. the doctor examined the lesion and said "it's clean" then I woke up.

Anxiously, I called the dentist later that morning and was told to come in the afternoon. The dentist examined the lesion and felt it was suspicious. She recommended a biopsy. I made an appointment with an oral surgeon for later in the month. This of course made me even more anxious. I prayed to Baba and kept looking at the little white patch on my tongue. I decided to apply Golden seal root to the area and look at ways to heal it rapidly and naturally.

When I returned home I went into meditation asking Swami what to do. In my third eye visions I saw Swami pouring honey everywhere. Honey! Honey Honey! I thought to myself when I came out of meditation, well, I should get some honey. Then I started exploring other treatments. I read up on Jethro Kloss's excellent natural healing book, Back To Eden, and decide to make my body more alkaline. I bought vegetables to start juicing, ph strips to check my acid/alkaline balance. I even consulted the health store technician and he recommended Colloidal Silver which I readily bought. I felt a mouth guard would help prevent me biting my tongue in my sleep. But, to my great shame, No Honey. It did feel like the golden seal and silver were helping, and I noted that my body was very acidic and gradually made it more alkaline.

I must mention, that around this time David and I were about to do a Compassionate Communication, Listening workshop. In the evening before the workshop, I vaguely mentioned to David that I hadn't gotten any honey, then forgot about it. The next morning, during my meditation I received the following quote from my Blue Baba bag:

"When the mind is engaged in wavering thought processes it is called Manas. When it is busy in the process of enquiry and discrimination between right and wrong. It is Buddhi, intellect. When it functions as a repository of memories it is known as Chitta. When it identifies itself with the physical body, assuming doership for various activities, it goes by the name Ahanjara - ego."

I felt a little prick as I read these words, but wasn't sure why. I recalled the wonderful divine saint Ramakrishna. This was when Ramakrishna was dying of throat cancer:
http://www.captizen.com/ramakrishna-paramhansa-dying-from-cancer/
Here was a Soul so immersed in his God-ness that he could say this to his wife:
"At the time of Ramakrishna’s death, it had become clear three days before that Ramakrishna is taking leave now. So his wife Sharda became very worried and upset. Ramakrishna asked her, ”Why do you cry? Because the one who is, is not going to die. And did you love this body known as me or did you love the one who is?” Sharda said, ”I loved the one who is.” Ramakrishna said, ”Then drop the worry. Then, when he who is not dies, do not break your bangles.” There was only one widow in India who did not break her bangles after her husband’s death Then Ramakrishna died." Source:
Sri Ramakrishna Dying from Cancer from “Walking in Zen, Sitting in Zen” – Osho
Ramakrishna’s Paramhansa death and Sharda Ma from “Sun of Consciousness ” by Osho


I thought about this great Soul and how unshakable his faith in his inherent divinity was and so fearless in the face of illusory death. What a reminder for me and all of us that we are not these ephemeral bodies, but the indwelling, imperishable Universal.

In my subsequent contemplation, I realized this whole experience I was undergoing had spiritual and karmic significance. I examined my speech and thinking. Was I speaking softly and sweetly. The only outstanding moments I could discern had to do with bad mouthing Trump and feeling upset about his hurtful actions and speech. I resolved to work on not bad mouthing anyone, keeping my speech as sweet and loving as possible, because after all, God is present in everyone and everything.

Later on that same day, I was looking on a mouth ulcer forum on the internet and came across this surprising statement:

"Take a Q-Tip dip it in pure honey, and rub it on your ulcer several times a day. Try not to bother the spot where you place the honey. . .to let it sit on the ulcer."
Judith Johnson Kypta 11 May 16

Naturally I felt this was a direct message from our Lord Sai and hurriedly ran out to purchase some raw honey. I applied the honey several times and now the white lesion has lessened greatly and is looking more like a crescent moon.

We must listen to God and not feel we know more. His grace is endless and His power immeasurable. I love how the virtue of sweet speech synchronized with the holy advice and remedy of applying honey to the ulcer.
