YOUR TIME HAS NOT COME !!!

[Guest guest]

There was a convener in Indore named Mr. Mandalay. Every Thursday he would hold bhajans at his house. He noticed that the number of devotees coming for bhajans was increasing and many faces were unfamiliar.

So he went to those people and asked them, " Are you SWAMI's new devotees? "

They said, " No. On the railway station there is a Sanyasi (Sage) who says, 'If you want peace of mind, go to this house on Thursday and you will get it.'

Listening to this Mr. Mandalay was surprised. He decided he would go to the railway station and find out for himself. He went there and as he approached the Sanyasi, the Sanyasi told him, " Stop! Don't come near me. If you want to come near me there are two conditions.

Condition one: you should not fall at my feet.

Condition two: I will fall at your feet!!! "

Listening to this Mr. Mandalay was stunned. Next the Sanyasi said when Bhagavan visited North India He went to the ashram of Swami Sivananda. (This posting was sent a few months back)

He said, " I was a disciple of Swami Sivananda. Swami Sivananda was my Mentor, my Guide, my Guru, and my Teacher. But when Bhagavan came, he ran and prostrated to him and spent one day with Bhagavan!!! "

" The next day, we all asked our Guru, 'Who was this lad?' [swami was very young at that time!]

Swami Shivananda proclaimed: " He is the Jagad Guru! "

After that the Sanyasi said, " Whenever I meditated in my third eye region I could always see Swami, but never could come to Puttaparthi. "

One day, while traveling to Madras, He saw a photo of Bhagavan and people told him that Swami was there at Puttaparthi then. He was overjoyed listening to this & asked them, " How can I get to Puttaparthi? "

They said, " Very simple. Catch a train to Dharmavaram. From there, take a bus to Puttaparthi. "

He then said a most amazing thing. " I took a train to Dharmavaram. By the time I reached Dharmavaram it was late at night so I decided to sleep and catch the bus to Puttaparthi the next morning. " But he said the next morning " I woke up in a distant cave in the Himalayas!!! "

And then I heard a Voice which told me " Bangaru, your time has not yet come. You will have to wait!!! "

The sage continued, " Sir, I have not been able to step on to the Divine land of Puttaparthi, while you visit every now and then. You have had the chance to have Darshan, Sparshan and Sambhashan with Bhagavan Baba. Tell me, should you fall at my feet or should I fall at your feet? "

Brothers and sisters, let us never forget what a great opportunity it is just to sit and look at Bhagavan. Sages and saints of yore have prayed for ages and they just get a glimpse. We get Darshan for hours together. (A few snaps attached)
