Once an elderly Devotee sitting in the Upper Portion of the old Prasanthi Mandir asked Swami to extend his life by another 20 years beyond his life span. Everyone was surprised by this unexpected question which even though many of us might have been praying from within, but no one had asked Swami directly. Swami gave a Wonderful smile and asked the person for the reason behind him asking such a boon of extension of life for another 20 years. The devotee replied “Swami, I have come to you at a very late stage of life. If only you give me another 20 years of life span, I would do Sadhana and attain Kaivalyam”. Swami again with a mischievous smile said “Do you require 20 years for doing that?. Do you require all the match sticks in the match box to light a stove? Is one match stick not sufficient to do that? Similarly if you pray intensely for a minute you can attain liberation for that do you require 20 years?”. A Wonderful Divine Message.
