Car Keys gone "missing!!!"

Many a times I have misplaced my car-keys, this time I really lost it!!! Did it turn up? Please read on, thanks!


David my dearest son,

You knew how anxious I was last evening (30/10/08) as I rang you on your mobile to enquire if there was any chance you would be home earlier than usual? Reason was that I had to go to attend Baba-ji's Aarti on Thursdays at Shirdi Sai Temple in Sydney which started sharp at 7.30 p.m. and I would not have missed it if I could have helped it!
My car keys could not be found although I searched very carefully at all the different places that I may have placed the keys! I sat down coolly and prayed and asked Baba-ji why was it that I was not fortunate to visit him that Thursday evening?
When I told my son that, he asked, "Why not?" I said maybe for some unknown reason only God knows, so I should accept it for a change!

On the positive side, I know he wanted me spend more time learning how to handle the "net" better. I remember last year I was fondly and jokingly laughed at because I asked for help and did not even know how to use the lap-top to access my Gmail account that David set up for me, so I can read mails when I was away from home. I told myself, "God gave me life to do so many things of different practical skills and I seldom sit down except to eat, so that was one of the excuse for not being familiar with the computer!" However this is a blessing for me, as I naturally think it is not too old for me to learn something new! Thank you, my dear son! We all know that you are blessed with computer knowledge and a natural patient "Guru!" Thank you too for spending so many hours a fortnight ago on your precious Saturday night till 5 a.m to fix it for me.
I must have "stuffed" it up trying to remember all your instructions to do all these "You-tube" presentations and transferring images from your old camera into the computer as you were too busy, and most of the times I had to wait too long to get to see the pictures on my computer that I had taken with your camera. God Bless you son and "Thank You God,"as it keeps me busy at my age, learning something new all the time! I am truly always racing after the Clock, without a dull moment!

After a tedious searchfor my car keys again, I decided to back track my route to the car twice and was positive it fell out from my pocket on my jacket which I did not zip up! It was in my mind at that time that it might drop off, but I told myself, it was very close walk home, so it should be alright When I got home with a bag of groceries the evening before, I forgot to remove the keys out of my pocket to place it on the usual spot for keeping it. Having convinced myself of my loss, I prayed to Baba-ji that for the first time being at home that I could not visit him on his special Thursday, and to see Maa as well! So, straight after that
I made myself useful at the computer, learning and trying out new skills instead until David got home.

I decided this morning after another search that NRMA may be able to help!
As usual, I prayed to all the deities at home and looked specially at Baba-ji "hugging" the first bloom of Crysanthenum that was so vibrantly yellow which I plucked yesterday morning! I prayed very diligently for Mata-Di and also asked the "new' Mata-Di, highly respected and worshipped in Taiwan, which looks Indian, but carries a name known by Chinese as "Chun Ti For Ma." Anyone in Taiwan, knows about this famous Goddess worshipped in Chinese temples there, please inform me as I can only sit home and wait for answers, unlike most of my friends that can fly here and there for holidays. For me, I am a home-body and get too tired to walk around too much, so the "net" is GREAT for me!

My son rung me this morning to see if I had called the NRMA yet and also he left the computer on with the page to call the Locks-smith if worst came to the worse! I told him I was very positive that the keys fell out of my pocket!
I also recalled that I did come in and went out to throw out the rubbish which David normally dis when he got home from work as they get too heavy for me sometimes on my arm! I did it because I had more time last evening! The thought of the bins outside being too huge and too unhygienic puts me off to go and ramage through there, so not too worryabout my keys there! All along, I still had full faith, although it seemed a bit funny, that God would make my keys appear somehow from nowhere!!!
I still took my time and prayed to Baba-ji and said "So sorry, I did not get to see Baba-ji, but I did spend some time with him on Diwali night, which was so good. He even gave me a huge red rose (from Umma) who just shoved it into my hand before I left! "Thank you Baba-ji!"

I need to go the the Markets to-day and I still took my time to go out.
I sang some devotional song to Mata-Di with Snowy watching and said the most sweet-sounding Mantra that Swami-ji Chinna Jeeyar taught us in Mukti-Gupteshwar temple which I had recited everyday ever since! For Baba-ji this morning I played an Aarti C.D. for all the Deities in their order and one devoted to Sai. Then later I came across a C.D. on Sri Hanuman Chalisa and I played it on twice because it sounded so beautiful and relaxing! I thought maybe I should put a note for the residents to read, but I thought who wass going to read as nothing is pinned at all on our notice-board!
I told myself, I will leave it to the Gods and took my only spare car key, but I still not have the key to my "steering-wheel lock" which was fastened across the steering wheel!
I told myself, God has helped me so many times already this two months and I can only leave my problems at his feet, and put on my next "thinking cap" if I could not locate the keys!

Then, as I was walking down the drive-way, my neighbour's car drove in with his son inside. Tim,(asked his permission for mention of his name here) wound down his window to wish me and I said if he had asked his wife if I can also mention her name for another letter which I will write soon, regarding the "Seluar Kamis"(Indian ladies attire). He saw me with two keys in my hand and told me that Micheal, another neighbour on the other block where he lives too had found two keys in the "Garbage BIN!"
I exclaimed, "OH mM Gosh! You see, God always look after me!!!!" he smiled at me, and nodded his head and said, "Yeh! Yeh!"I told him I only had a spare key and the other was not, but I wanted to try with it though! Next, he drove in to park and lead me the way to Micheal's block through the security doors and knocked at his door. Micheal opened his door and gladly handed me the keys and remarked that he went knocking on all the doors on his side of the block to find the owner! I thanked him and Tim and said that God is so Great and that he will bless them also and he thanked me in return I did know for what!

So, this is my surprise letter to David. He knows that I am always careless with leaving things around, but this time he was convinced that I had lost my keys as I was so cool about it! He actually very politely asked me to ask "my guide" about it last night and he was so sweet about it. This morning he left for work with so much help that Snowy and I waved him "bye" so many times and said he is such a darling and we love him! Snowy said so many times to him too for the first time, the moment he sensed that he would be leaving for work soon!

I conclude with the note: "Have Total Surrender to God,"and He Will Turn up to Solve things for you, as He is a Problem-Solver when you sincerely call for him.
"Baba, Jai Sai Ram!"

Jai Sai Ram! Jai Mata-Di! Ram,RamSitaRam,Jai Srimanarayana! Hari Krishna! Hari Om! etc. etc. etc.!
Sweet sounds for God!

Blessings and Peace to All!
