It happened in Kodaikanal, a student along with his grand parents was
with Bhagawan along with other devotees. Swami was returning back from
Kodaikanal to a devotee’s house for night stay. Swami asked the grandmother,
“Will you let your husband go with you or remain with me?”. She replied, “We
will abide by your decision Swami.”
After dinner, all the devotees went to the terrace for rest. Suddenly the
grandfather said, “Swami I feel dizzy.” Swami said, “Come here!” Swami asked
him to close his eyes and lay his head on His lap. And then the old man
breathed his last.
Swami turned to the old lady and said, “If you want I can bring him back
to life but one thing, no one ever had or will have such good fortune of dying
on the lap of God. It is up to you to decide.” She replied, “Swami, let him
remain with you, I don’t want him to miss such a great fortune. Swami gave her
a smile of reassurance. And thus the old man attained ‘Moksha’.
