Divine Anecdotes - Experiences of Late Shri.Karunyananda - 3

Bhagavan eats only a few morsels of Ragi balls (a minor cereal eaten by the poor, prominently in Rayalaseema of Andhra Pradesh). His dining is only a drama, a mere pretence, as He takes very little food. He however, sees to it that people seated by Him are fed well. This He does Himself; it is all the mother's affection. Some people bring and offer sweets and curries to Bhagavan, but Bhagavan does not even touch these foods.

I keep telling Him to eat more because between dinner and breakfast, there is a gap of 15 hours. But, Swami always replies that though He eats lesser quantity than we do, He is more active and does not become tired and weak like we do. Divinity - that is the secret! It is divine energy. You and I would be worried if our food were delayed even for a few minutes. But, He is above all this.

Some people bring Him and offer sweets and curries to Bhagavan, but Bhagavan does not even touch these foods. I said once, "Why should they carry all these food stuff here? We have two cooks. All the items are offered to you. They have to be taken back without you tasting it. Then why should they be brought upstairs?" Bhagavan replied, "What is your objection? They bring the food here. Those who bring it, take it back again and it gives them satisfaction. to offer food for me." He is verily the embodiment of compassion!

Once when I was returning from Kakinada in 1956 Bhagavan said, "Karunyananda, you are clapping in union seated before me now. A time will come when you can see me only from a distance." He told me again in 1970, "You are able to sit and see Bhagavan now. A time will come when you have to see Swami from a hill only."

HOW VERY VERY MUCH TRUE IS IT TODAY.

Om Sai Ram
