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, as 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.
On 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 and who was from Andhra Pradesh.
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 wonderstruck 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!
