SWAMI TALKING TO WAITING BOYS

 

Today was a memorable day for all the waiting boys - 21 of them.

They had been planning since almost a month and a half to put up a

small music programme in the Divine Presence. Swami kept playing Hide

& Seek with them - and finally it fructified today. As soon as He

arrived in the morning for Darshan- he sent for one of the waiting

boys. We all were there as it was a holiday - Bakri Id. Swami told

him that He has come early so as to listen to their programme and

asked him to find out whether the others were ready to put up the

programme.

 

The boy went into the Bhajan Hall and checked with the others, came

back and reported in the affirmative to Swami. Swami then walked into

the Interview Room and asked them to start. He then went to the

Bhajan Hall and sat on the throne. What followed was a heartfelt

rendering of beautiful songs by the waiting group. Most of the songs

were Swami's compositions like Daya Cheta Dhanyulu Kavalara., Naa

Mora Vinava., Narayan Bhajo Narayan.., Rama Rama Seeta, Aharaha

Tava..and other songs like Kaise Jiyun Main Tere Bin.., Uyirum Neeve

Ulagam Neeve Taye.

 

Songs over - Aarti was about to start. Swami asked to stop, but by

then the Pujari had lit the camphor. So the Aarti took its own

course. After that Swami spent almost an hour talking to the boys.

Following are excerpts from the conversation that went on:

 

Swami: Who actually started this idea of a music programme?

 

Boys: All of us Swami. We practiced in one of the houses.

 

Swami (To VC): Who is this boy?

 

VC: Swami, he has done M.Sc. (Maths) and then M.Tech.

 

Swami: Is he a good boy? What grades has he got?

 

VC: Swami, he is a very good boy - throughout his studies he has got

first class.

 

Swami: Yes, Give him a lecturer's job. In our Institute we pay the

lecturers Government Scale only. (to another boy) What are you doing?

 

Boy: Swami, IAS.

 

Swami: I do not want IAS, reverse it. I want SAI. I will tell..

 

Swami then asked most of them about their qualifications. Boys gave

answers like MFM, MBA, M.Sc.(B).

 

Swami: (in appreciation of the boys - pointing to the lady VIP's)

See, these boys have completed double post graduations and are now

waiting for Swami to give them a job. They do not want to go

outside. (Hearing MBA, MFMa number of times - commented jokingly)

Why so many MBA's and M.Sc.'s?

 

VC: Swami, outside it is very costly. They have to write tough exams

and then, they also have to pay almost 5 lakhs to get a seat. After

all that they do not get good quality education as they get here.

 

Swami: Yes, that is true. But after completing their studies they

should not sit idle. Their parents have spent so much on them. They

must go and serve their parents.

 

Swami pointed to an industrialist VIP and asked him to come in.

 

Swami: How much salary do you pay in your company? See, these boys

have all finished double PG's and MBA's and are waiting for Swami to

give them an opportunity to serve.

 

Swami(to a boy): What have you studied?

 

Boy: Swami - B.Com., MBA, M.Phil.. You only gave me a gold medal.

 

Swami: Swami gives everything to everybody. See, I will tell you one

important thing. Your mother has no legs. She cannot walk. But she is

working so hard and feeding you. Why don't you start working and take

care of her and give her some rest.

 

Boy: I prepare food for her and only then I move out to work in the

village. Even when I stayed in the Hostel I used to go home and cook

food for her.

 

Swami: You are moving around all the time. Who will take care of her?

 

Boy: Swami, I am moving around only for you and not for anything else.

 

Swami (in appreciation): See, this boy wants only Me and nothing

else. Seeing my boys taking such good care of their parents, I am

overjoyed. This is possible only with our boys. Outside this is very

rare. Seeing you all do such good service I am very happy. But are

you doing Swami's service?

 

Boy: Yes Swami. We all are going to the villages and organizing

medical camps, education for children, self-employment programme..

 

Swami: Chaala Santosham.

 

Boy: Swami, a small prayer. We have attained so many degrees. Instead

of we going out and looking for jobs, give us the capacity to

generate jobs for 10 other people.

 

Swami: O, then you all have to be in top positions as big managers.

 

Boy: Swami, please allow us to start a small scale industry that will

help

give employment to many of the local people here.

 

Swami: But then how will you market it?

 

Boy: Swami, if we do with a good intention, market will automatically

be there.

 

Swami: Very good. If you have that confidence, it will happen. Faith

is very important.

 

VIP: Yes Swami, Honesty and Loyalty are very essential.

 

Swami: Yes, Truth, Honesty and Loyalty are very essential.

 

Boy; But Swami all this is available only here, not outside.

 

Swami: Yes, but you should be able to achieve the same even outside.

 

Boy: Once we achieve this here, wherever we go we will be able to do

the

same.

 

Swami: Once you have completed your education, you must go and take

care of your parents. Matru Devo Bhava, Pitru Devo Bhava.. You should

never disappoint them. If you cause one drop of tear from your

mother's eye, you will cry throughout your life.

 

Swami: What did Lava and Kusha say? (Swami was choked with emotion

and with tears in His eyes) We want to take care of our parents -

Rama and Sita, and we want to serve them all throughout our life.

 

Boy: Swami, please do not feel so bad, we cannot see you like this.

 

Swami: These are tears of joy. Idi Ananda Bhashpamu - not Shoka

Bhashapmu. Seeing you boys taking such good care of your parents, I

am feeling so overwhelmed.

 

Boy: Swami, Mee Aanandame Maa Ananadamu..

 

Swami: Abbo!!! Kadu Bangaru, Mee Aanandame Naa Ananadamu..

 

Boys: We find it difficult to see you limping and walking like this.

Please

cure yourself.

 

Swami: Even this event is for your sake only.

 

Boys; Please pardon us for our mistakes.

 

Swami: Yes, I have pardoned and am therefore talking to you all. I

have no pain for I do not have any body consciousness at all. In

Brindavan, that day, a boy was tying Toranam at the door, standing on

an iron chair. I opened the door and the boy in excitement fell on me

with the iron stool. The bone broke into three pieces. The doctors

said - God's bone is very strong. It is difficult to replace it.

Therefore they put an iron rod in its place. It is because of the

iron rod that I am limping. I have no pain. This too will go away

slowly. See even at this age I am so beautiful and healthy. Can

anyone be like this? The doctors advised three years bed rest but I

am already walking. I am very healthy.

 

Boy: Swami, Your Love for us is so great.

 

Swami: Aunu, Naa Prema Chaala Apaaramainatidi. (Yes, My Love is

Infinite). You boys cannot understand it.

 

Swami created a Vajra Lingam (transparent crystal lingam) and gave it

to the M.Tech. boy and told him to keep it safely.

 

Boy: Swami, we are ready to do even a sweepers job at your Lotus Feet.

 

Swami: Can I give such a low job to My boys? Mee Gauravame Naa

Gauravamu (Your dignity is My dignity). I will give you jobs

according to your qualification.

 

It was almost 9.40 a.m. Swami got up from the throne and asked loudly:

EmKavali?

 

Boys: Swami, we want You.

 

Swami: I am ready, take Me.

 

Boys: We are also ready. Take us.

 

Swami: Santosham. Santosham.

 

As He walked out holding the hand of one of the boys, the boys

started praying - Swami keep us with you.

 

Swami jokingly said - See your desires are already increasing.

 

In the afternoon, Swami came around 3.20 p.m. Vedam chanting went on

for some time. Suddenly, Swami called Prof. Anil Kumar and asked him

to speak. What followed was a torrent of beautiful messages,

experiences and Telugu poems of Swami. The talk was very inspiring.

He went on for around half an hour plus and stopped. There was a loud

applause. Swami asked him to continue and we had another half an hour

plus. Excerpts of his talk are available in the next mail.

 

Aarti followed. Swami got up. A Music college boy gave the Aarti and

another gave a flower. Swami asked the boy to sing Rama Katha. The

boy sang the beginning part. Swami blessed him and his singing

partner very lovingly. As He moved towards the car, He saw the

waiting boys waiting for Him. He spoke to them for some time and then

pointed towards the Interview room. Needless to say, they all rushed

into the Interview room.

 

As an icing on the cake, Swami spoke to them for almost 45 minutes.

He talked to each boy individually. He said that the coming Thursday

(Poornima) is a very auspicious day and He will give appointment

letters to them on that day. Incidentally, He also created a small

pouch for the M.Tech. boy to keep the Lingam that He had created in

the morning!! He gave them individual photographs to their delight!!

What a wonderful way of relating this so special story of the avatar...it made

me emotional and I enjoyed sheding tears of joy in your narration and the

conversation between the lord and his bhaktas (SAI and not IAS). Sometimes as

human beings we have attachments and in this case the difficulty that the

avatar is having in walking is painful to hear and now we really know how

accidents happen and we need to pray also in the quick recovery of our lord.

This is a real gem and I look forward to the next version in your email.

 

Aum Sri Sai Ram,
