It's a truth by evidence that Shirdi Sai Baba is a miraculous healer. There were many people of his time who got healed from stubborn deadly diseases. One of such cases was the prevention of a cholera epidemic.
Shirdi suffered from cholera epidemic in 1910 AD. The administration of those days tried and did everything to control the people's sufferings, but the efforts were not sufficient. Later, some people approached Sai Baba and pleaded for help. Then Baba picked up a grinding stone and began to grind wheat. His devotees surprised by his acts, as Baba was a person who possess nothing, store nothing and live on alms. The villagers came to see Baba's act, once the new spread in the village. Four women, absolute devotees of Baba, came forward from the crowd, pushed Baba aside and started grinding. At first Baba was angry at them, but on seeing the women's love and devotion, he was pleased and began to smile.
While grinding, those women thought, Baba's will was to distribute the grounded flour among them. Because he was renounced man, had no house to store, live on alms. Once the grinding work was finished, they started dividing the flour into four portions. Baba, who was quiet and calm till now, started scolding them and ordered them to sprinkle the flour on the village borders. Those four women obeyed Baba's orders. Miraculously from then, the cholera epidemic started to subside, patients recovered and Shirdi village was completely free from cholera.
" The sages find pleasure in suffering to help others. This is beyond the conception of an ordinary mind. Human history has provided many instances of spiritual leaders who healed people and suffered for them. When individual consciousness expands itself to cosmic consciousness, it becomes easy to feel delight in suffering for the sake of others.
Pain and pleasure are a pair of opposites experienced when the senses contact objects of the world. Those whose consciousness has expanded beyond the sensory level get freedom from this pair of opposites. All such healing powers flow through the human being from the one source of consciousness. The moment the healer becomes conscious of his individuality, that spontaneous flow of healing power stops.
Healing is a natural power in man. A human being is fully equipped with all necessary healing powers, but does not know their usage. The moment he comes in touch with the healing potentials within, he can heal himself. All the powers belong only to one God. A human being is only an instrument. "

Referring to the current scenario, the whole world is suffering from COVID-19 now. I am desiderating and how astonishing it could be, if such miraculous healing is done! But I believe miracles may not always be visible, they could be done by bright beings beyond this physical sensory world.
So our part as a responsible citizen is self quarantine till the pandemic and epidemic is under control. Because it's not deadly to young people, but the sheer risk to older people. Youngsters may become carriers of the virus and older people the victims. However, I pray God from the bottom of my heart, to calm down the pandemic as early as possible.
