Swami, you have not read that letter...

[Guest guest]

"Swami, you have not read that letter..."

"Your letter has not reached me yet; but, I have read it already. You posted it

to Madras, not knowing that I have come back here. I was near you when you

wrote it. Your mother must know be very much better: is it not?" This is what

Baba wrote to a devotee, some years back. He is Sarvantharyami; He is in all

places, at all times.

Our letter need not reach Him. Even when it reaches Him, He need not open it and read the contents!

One day, I happened to be in His room when the post came. When He dropped on the

floor one letter unread and unopened, some newly arrived person muttered,

"Swami, you have not read that letter. It may be some tale of misery". Baba

smiled and said, "No,No. It is a tale of joy, He says that a son has been born

to him; but, he is worried that the baby was born with frontal teeth." Then, He

told us the whole story with the envelope in His hand.

"A Vaisya couple from a village in Telengana had come on pilgrimage to

Puttaparthi a year ago; they prayed that they may be blessed with progeny. I

gave the man an apple and asked him to share it with his wife. He took it in

his hand and examined it. Finding some marks on the skin, indicating that it

might have been bitten by a rat or so, he asked me what it was, evidently

nervous about eating it. I told him that they both could eat it. 'Only, the

baby will have two frontal at birth. Don't worry.'

He has now written that the child has been born and, (Here, He tore open the

envelope, took out the letter and turning over the lines showed us the very

sentence) "he has asked Me whether any Santhi has to be performed, to alleviate

what he fears be a calamity!"

Looking at that sentence, we stood amazed, in the resplendent Presence of Bhagavan.

Baba is Sarvajna, Sarvasaktha, Sarvaantharyami.
