Once during Bhagawan's Darshan, a devotee was continuously calling Him in
great anguish, "Swami, Swami!" Swami noticed him and invited him into the
interview room. He was longing for Swami's love, for Swami's divine proximity
and for an opportunity of conversing with Swami. Swami entered the room,
closed the door and was bolting it. The devotee could not hold himself any
longer. He blurted out, "Swami, I have been waiting for you for the last three
weeks. For three long weeks, Swami!"
Swami turned around and said affectionately, "Bangaru, do you know for
how many years I have been waiting for you?" The man was thunder-struck!
Bhagawan? Actually waiting? For him? He was overwhelmed at the thought.
Unable to bear the impact of the flood of Baba's love, he started weeping.
