A Wonderful incident narrated by Dear Sai Brother Shri.Anantha Vijaya, alumni, SSSIHL..
The summer vacations had ended in Brindavan and some of the hostel students who had gone home had returned, One of the students, who had returned by train, had had a vehement argument about Swami with his fellow passengers in the compartment. All the boys were seated around Swami in Brindavan…, Swami looked at the boy and enquired about what had transpired in the train.The boy narrated the story of the passengers who had first asked him where he was studying, and as soon as they heard that he was studying in Swami’s college, they had become critical of Swami. The boy added that he had responded to the criticism by defending Swami, citing the many miracles that he had seen. Swami then asked him, “What did you tell them?” The boy replied, “Swami, I told them about my seeing you materializing vibhuti, creating rings, curing diseases, etc.” Swami then asked a few other people in the room about his miracles, and all of them alluded to different materializations, cures, extra-ordinary events, etc. None of the answers were significant and then Bhagawan asked, “You know what my greatest miracle is?” Not waiting for an answer he added, “You all, all of you are my greatest miracle.” We realized that our transformation is Swami’s greatest miracle. Swami clarifies the place of the miracle in man’s spiritual evolution with God. Miracles are a means for God to attract man, and are the first step of the transformative journey of man with God. Bhagawan also added “The ones you mentioned can be called chamathkaara, that lead on to samskaara, which in turn urge one on towards paropakaara and finally result in saakshaathkaara. Sai Ram
