Prof Kasturi account.And Brindavan Boys experiences

The examinations were approaching, Swami said that if He was with us at

Brindavan, we do not study. Finnally He decided to leave for Puttaparthi, just

to make us study for exams.

The boys fell at His feet, pleaded with Him, but Swami insisted on going. He

said that He felt that He was the cause of the boys neglecting their studies

and that feeling gave Him much pain.

It was Monday. Swami was preparing to leave by 8.30 A.M. The boys crowded round

Him with sadness pain on their faces. Pleadings and prayers had proved

fruitless.

Swami was down on the ground floor. He got into the car, and the white vehicle

glided away. With heavy hearts, boys walked slowly back into the Hostel. We

tried in vain to concentrate on what the books had to tell us, so full was our

hearts with the thought of our Lord.

Barely 15 minutes had passed, when some one shouted "Swami has come!" and

started running behind the car. I thought that the poor fellow was still

dreaming and that his fantasy probably had given shape to that car.

But many more boys followed and I came out to ascertain for myself. What I saw,

I could not believe. I saw the white car driving right up to portico. I rubbed

my eyes once or twice to make sure for myself, and then I also ran . Swami

walked up the stairs. Many of us could not believe what was happening.

Swami said, "You boys were creating so much noice that I forgot to take the

keys," ... Swami forgetting to take the keys! Our hearts were full,... no one

spoke. The tears that rolled down were probably more eloquent in expressing

what was in our hearts.

Somebody had probably still some doubts that Swami may leave again with the

keys. So he asked very wisely. "Swami! shall we start unloading the things back

from the car? "... No I am leaving again in the evening." Swami said, in

pretended anger...

Then He broke into a beautiful smile, At this, a chorus of pleading voices

followed, "Swami! Swami! And Swami decided to stay on. He told us latter, "You

pulled me back here, just by your pure yearning. Now you must study well, if

you want me to stay here. Trivial, insignificant instances these, do you say?

And What have they got to do with spirituality, do you ask? But what else is

spirituality than yearning for Him, pining for Him, suffering anguish for Him?

What is spirituality but deserving to live in Him. This is made possible only by

the form-ful God, the God without whom one cannot live. His benign smile, the

loveliness of His Graceful Form His tender affection that flow when He enquires

about your welfare, and above all, the nectarine sweetness of His childlike

sport--these help us to fuse our heart with the Lord,s and thus raise ourselves

to the heights of Blessedness. Boys have made an unsuccessful attempt to put

these in words, for, it is impossible to contain them in human language. They

belong totally to the realm of experience which the heart alone can experience

"Raso "vai Saha" He is Sweetnes itself. His sweetness is infinitely enhanced

when He comes, Humanness enveloping His Divinity.
