AS YOU SOW, SO SHALL YOU REAP....
Movie like projection by Swami
He fell at Bhagawan's Lotus feet and cried, 'You are God, being ever
present in the past, present and future. You are our destiny.
Please save us all.'
The author Dr. A.V. Lakshminarasimhan, is a Faculty Member in the
Department of Bio-Sciences of the Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning at
the Prasanthi Nilayam Campus. This is one of the miracles mentioned in his
article.
"Way back in 1948 when Bhagawan was 22 years of age in this beautiful
physical frame, a certain wealthy man visited Prasanthi Nilayam along with his
twin sons who were born blind. This wealthy man had toured the world over and
had consulted great eye-specialists but all of them had said unanimously that
it was impossible to provide eyesight to the blind twins. Hence the wealthy man
had come to see the young Bhagawan.
Bhagawan did not see them for seven long days. When the devotees, who had
brought this family to Prasanthi Nilayam, prayed to Bhagawan for an interview,
He called the wealthy man and his family along with the devotees. Bhagawan gave
them all a profound discourse on the law of Karma and human dharma.
At the end, when the devotees prayed and almost persuaded Bhagawan to
grant sight to the twins, He said, 'Look, what these twins have done in their
past life' and asked the devotees to look towards the corner of the interview
room. What they saw was like a movie. These twins appeared as two cruel
dacoits. They appeared to be tying two other persons to a tree in the forest
and plucking out their eyes and robbing them of their wealth. The devotee was
perplexed and disturbed seeing this incident taking place before his eyes.
Bhagawan asked the devotees.'Tell me, shall I grant sight to these boys?
If you are in My place what will you do?' The devotee had no answer. He fell at
Bhagawan's Lotus feet and cried, 'Baba, pardon me for my audacity. You are God,
being ever present in the past, present and future. You are our destiny. Please
save us all.' Bhagawan with all His Love lifted the devotee and said that the
twins had repented for their evil deeds and prayed to God for forgiveness.
Their lifestyle had changed. They served the poor with the robbed money and as
a result of which they have been born in the house of the wealthy man. They
cannot, however, escape from the evil act of blinding two innocent persons and
hence had to be born blind. Bhagawan assured that now that they had come to His
divine presence, their future would be good and that He would take care of them
and would bless them."
The present is a product of the past, but it is also the seed of the
future
