SWAMI Chat at Mandir Veranda – October 5, 2002

 

Sairam Brothers and Sisters,

 

We were reading lot of SWAMI’s chat with Students at Mandir Veranda sent by our

beloved Sri Bombay Srinivasan. These are some conversations of SWAMI at the

Mandir Veranda with Students and Teachers. These conversations are being

compiled by Prof. Sri Anil Kumar as “Pearls of Wisdom”, which I would like to

post for the benefit of larger group of devotees.

 

At his LOTUS Feet

SAI Bharadhwaaj

 

Kidney Stones

 

Immediately Swami got up from His chair and was about to move towards the bhajan

hall, but He stopped.

“Hmm, come here,” He said, “You must look at that.” I got up and went over to Him.

He asked one man, “Bring that bag.”

One boy brought a polythene bag. He asked me, “What is in that bag?”

“Swami, I see some stones.”

“What stones?”

“Swami, stones of this size -- big size.”

“Hmm. What are they?”

“Swami, I don’t know!”

“They are the stones which were recovered from the kidneys of our student! A

student was operated upon recently and those heavy stones were removed from his

kidneys.”

I was shocked. “Swami, so big!”

“Yes, you have seen there.” I was watching all the time there.

And suddenly Swami said, “Doctor Bhat,” with His sweet melodious voice. There

came Doctor Bhat, an 83-year-old man, a well-built, hefty personality. He’s

called the ‘Father of Nephrology’, which means he’s an expert in kidney

science. He served in Philomena Hospital in Bangalore. He also served as

professor in the Department of Nephrology at Vellore Christian Medical College.

He’s a very top man.

“Anil Kumar, do you know him?”

“Swami, I know Doctor Bhat, who’s an old devotee of Bhagavan. I see, Swami.”

“He did the operation only this morning.”

“Swami, an 83-year-old doctor?”

“Yes! Those who are with Swami are never old. (Laughter) They are ever-young.”

Oh, everybody laughed. And then He said, “Bhat, you did the operation?”

“Yes, Swami!”

Then Swami looked at me and said, “You see, at this old age he’s doing such

tremendous work in our hospital – a very good devotee.

Then with folded hands, Doctor Bhat said, “Swami, there is an American doll that

goes on playing. How does it play? When you wind the key on that doll, it goes

on playing. I'm only a doll in Your hands, Swami. You are the key and the key

man behind this dancing doll!”

Immediately I caught hold of both of his hands and said, “Sir, you are Baba’s

gift to Sai devotees and a person of inspiration to all of us.”

This I thought worth sharing with you all.
