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.
