Somewhere around the end of January 2000

Shirdi Sai baba and I are sitting on the floor in our Marlboro Master bedroom near the foot rest of the bed.
I am sitting to His right. He speaks to me for about three and half hours and is ready to leave. Then I say to Him "Swami, I have this pain in my right shoulder. I have been suffering with this for more than two years". He materializes milk and pours it in my cupped palm. I drink it as prasaadam. Then, He smiles (**) and touches my shoulder. The pain (***) is gone. Baba leaves.

** At that moment, in the dream, I feel that Baba is thinking "I spoke to you about so many things for 3 1/2 hours and all you ask Me is to relieve you of shoulder pain?"

*** Actually, I have had the pain since Nov 1997 - working with the Computer key board for many hours at work. After that night, it never returned !!!
