Shri.T.N. Giridhar , Alumni of the Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning and now from UK, recalls an incident of his student days in the Mandir, that delivers a very potent message.
"The live flute music, which used to be played before the Bhajans, began. Swami happened to be standing directly underneath the speaker and looked up as soon as the music started. With a twinkle in His eyes, He asked, "Where is the sound coming from?" Without hesitation, the boys there answered, "From the speaker, Swami!" Pleased with that, He said, "Ah, see, the sound comes from the speaker but the source is inside" and pointed towards the Bhajan Hall. To this day, I am amazed at the simplicity with which He delivered such a powerful lesson. Years later as I was waiting anxiously outside the Board room in UK for an important presentation, I recalled those words of Swami and instantly felt comforted. I then went in, made my presentation, answered their questions and walked out after almost three hours of gruelling. I had no clue as to how it was perceived by them, but got the answer in about two days -- we were awarded the contract of several million pounds!".. Sai Ram __._,_.___
