This incident happened in the very early 80's in Prasanthi Nilayam. A
student's Mother was to have a major surgery and the High school boy wanted to
go home, He sat in the front in the old and wonderful Prasanthi Mandir Portico,
Swami did not take his letter nor seemingly look at him. Two days had passed
and the boy was becoming jittery, Swami had also given instructions that no one
from the Hostel should come for Morning Darshan.
The Next day in the evening during Swami's Darshan the boy again sat in
the front, He got up and Bhagawan said ''Kurcho" meaning " Sit down", Bhajans
started, Swami went into the Bhajan hall and after Mangala Aarthi upstairs. The
Boy needed to go the next day in the evening. As the next day was Sunday, boys
went for the morning Darshan, Swami was at the time with the Primary School
boys, Bhajans were over, Swami went upstairs and morning Darshan was over.
This boy was literally devastated and until Swami gave him permission, He
could not go. Strange thoughts came to him that He would also run away in the
evening to see His Mother. He wondered even whether Bhagawan even knew about
him and his Mother's condition. He sat near the Car Shed right at the back
waiting for everyone to go back. Suddenly the Hostel Warden came running
calling his name saying that " Swami was calling him". But he thought Swami had
gone upstairs, Swami had come down only for him, Bhagawan gave him
Padanamaskar, Vibuthi Prasadam, Money to go home,
Then Swami wonderfully told the boy " You are always thinking abut your
mother, yourself, But do you know that Swami was thinking about you always, all
the time, I never forget anyone and anything". Wonderful, Divine Words.
When the boy asked about the operation for his Mother, Bhagawan smiled
and said " Operation, what operation". Swami had taken care of everything. The
Boy went home happy and by Bhagawan's Divine Grace, His mother did not need any
operation.
This is Bhagawan's Grace. His Grace is always with us whether He is
Physically with us or not.
OUR LIFE IS HIS MESSAGE
