God Listens to Every Little Thought
Bhagawan once happened to come in His car to the hill view stadium. After
completing a round, we saw His car coming to a halt just near the rear entrance
of the hostel. With anticipation, we waited to see if His car would turn and
take the route into the hostel. Strangely Swami's car just waited there – none
of us could guess why. After this brief halt, to our disappointment Swami's car
turned away and the divine visit was not to be. The purpose of this short halt
did not remain a mystery for long.
In the afternoon Swami enquired about a particular boy in the hostel. The
warden started summoning boys to where Swami sat, but none of them was the
student Swami was looking for. He then mentioned that the boy was a student in
the music college. There was a music college boy sitting right next to me and I
prodded him to go on upto Swami.
As soon as he got up, Swami's face lit up with recognition and He
beckoned him to come up front. We were wonderstruck, after all - what was so
special about this boy that Swami Himself had to search for him? What we heard
from Swami that moment was something none of us could have anticipated.
Swami asked the boy "Today morning weren't you sitting near the window of
your room with a bad headache? You thought how nice it would be if Swami were
to come right there. However you did not to lift yourself and look outside the
window – I was right there outside the hostel looking at you!" Swami had
conveyed a profound truth in such a casual and simple way! God is there always
waiting, man only needs to lift himself – if he puts that effort then he could
experience God.
