[Guest guest]

Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, the President of India, will settle in Prashanthi

Nilayam for the rest of his life after he retires...

....

Swami: (To V.C.) Very great man, when is he coming?

VC.: Tomorrow night.

Swami: Very good man. He is a Mohammedan. He is a vegetarian. He is also a

Bachelor. Now he wants to be close with Swami. He came here before. Was it

three years back?

VC: Yes, Swami.

Swami: Yes, I know, What is his name?

VC: Abdul Kalam.

Swami: See… Mohammedan. Sunday morning, he is going to see the Institute.

Swami: Swami, you too come to the Institute.

Swami: No time. The boys are coming here. He can talk to computer boys, and

laser boys. He likes lasers. What is laser? Not razor!

Boys: Swami, please come to Institute.

Swami: No, he is coming tomorrow night.

Swami: Bad luck boys. I kept every thing ready in Poornachandra. I made a phone

call to Hostel. But at that time, everybody was sleeping. (Swami made snoring

sound) Boys’ one leg in one direction and another on the luggage. Each one was

making different kinds of sounds. What is this sleep? I have never experienced

it. Even in the night at 1 AM, 2 Am, I go out to all places. Before, I myself

used to drive the car; Parthi to Rajahmundry, 1100 miles. Even last year,

during the Kodaikanal trip I drove the car. I asked Padmanabhan to move aside

and drove the car. Padmanban was telling “Sai, Sai”. Years back, Padmanaban’s

(Dentist in Bangalore) father Seshagiri Rao also sat with me in the car. He

used to close his eyes, and chant “Sai Ram, Sai Ram”, throughout the journey

and open his eyes only after reaching the destination. Such was the speed at

which I used to go. My car was Morris turner. It is very small car. I used to

go at 100-150 mph. But the car usually does not

have so much capacity. At that speed, the tyres were almost in the air. Even at

that speed, I never ran over cats and dogs.

Swami: Did He come to Institute?, What is his name? Abdul Kalam.

Boys: Yes, Swami.

Swami; In yesterday’s meeting in Bangalore, Abdul Kalam said, “I am a

Mohammedan. For me there is no Allah or any other religion. I want only Sai

Baba. Sai Baba is my God. Scientists always say, this…. this… But Sai Baba

always says, that… that… “This” is below senses and “that” above senses. Sai

Baba is always above senses. “Tat Twam Asi”.

Swami: In meetings, he quotes Swami’s teachings. He is a very good poet also.

When he entered the interview room, he looked at Swami and told, “KALAAM BABA

KO SALLAM KARTHA HAI”. (Kalam salutes Baba).

After his work, he is going to come and settle here in Prashanthi Nialyam for

the rest of his life. He is not married and has no children. Therefore, he is

going to come and settle here. He says he wants to come and spend his time with

students, by teaching them. His ambition is to build a rocket with the help of

Sathya Sai students in this life itself, in the next ten years. He will give

lot of inspiration to boys. I said, “It is your wish. Do whatever you want”.

Swami (to a teacher): What subject are you teaching?

Teacher: Self-awareness for 1-MBA boys.

Swami: What is self?

Teacher: Self means ‘Atman’ and it is everywhere. It is that which makes us speak and see.

Swami: Air is everywhere. Like that consciousness is everywhere, with you,

within you, around you; but you cannot catch it. Conscious, consciousness and

conscience. Follow the conscience to be conscious of consciousness.
