Professor Anil Kumar has presented this talk as an extra satsang. He has selected important messages Baba has imparted to the students gathered around Him during the afternoon sessions on the verandah at Prashanti Nilayam.
It was a bright sunny day, and Bhagavan was on His way to give Darshan to devotees seated in Sai Ramesh Hall. He noticed everybody and instructed all the teachers, students and guests to move over to the college auditorium where the summer classes were held. Yes, the sessions were interesting, and in the evenings, Bhagavan usual, came for the Divine discourse. As you know, every evening during summer classes, Bhagavan used to give a discourse to all the students, teachers and devotees. That evening, He was proceeding towards the dais, then suddenly He stopped and stood in front of an elderly gentleman. Here the name is not important, but the event is important. He stood in front of this elderly gentleman who wore the Indian dress of this state of Andhra Pradesh. The pundits wear dhoti and also a lalchi (upper cloth). He stood in front of that gentleman and said, "This morning I saw you with a vermilion dot on your forehead that was in plastic. (Laughter) Now you are here wearing the vermilion dot of kumkum powder. This morning you had plastic and this evening kumkum. Why the difference?" He asked. I was wonder struck because I know this gentleman was sitting far back in the auditorium he must have been in the 50th or 60th row. This good God notices even the plastic dot on his forehead and then asks about it in the evening, "Why the difference?"Well, as usual I said, "Swami how is it that you noticed that small vermilion dot on his forehead? I know this gentleman was sitting far behind. What is all this? It is very mysterious!" Swami laughed and said, "Nobody needs to tell me anything. Everything comes under the preview of my notice and observation. Everything will come to my notice. Nobody needs to tell Me." This was really a revelation!
