It was a miracle of omnipresence that made Mr. Omprakash Mehra accept Sathya Sai Baba as his God. By the time he completed his service in the Indian Air Force, retiring as Air Chief Marshal in 1976, he was an avowed devotee of Baba. His life was filled with multiple miracles of Swami's omnipresence, omnipotence and omniscience.
However, one important insight we gain from his attitude and Swami's constant advice to him is that we should always do our duty and consider work as worship. Doing so will automatically attract the grace of God. These experiences will fill us with hope and faith.
Swami had told Air Marshal OP Mehra that he would scale great heights in life and that is what precisely happened. He was awarded Padma Vibhushan, and also was Governor of Maharashtra and Rajasthan among many other achievements.
