SWAMI KNOWS IT ALL !!!

[Guest guest]

The greatest truth that Swami has taught me is a kind of

preparedness to accept anything that comes to me in life, good or

bad, or if you want to use another term, spiritual surrender.

 

Several years ago I was waiting for the results of my son's

engineering entrance examination, but on the very morning when the

results were to be published the President of India, the first

citizen of this country, was to visit Prashanti Nilayam.

 

Sai Baba slowly, softly, smilingly came walking up to me in Darshan

and standing in front of me, He enquired, " How are you, Sir? "  

 

I replied, " Swami, I am very fine. "  

Sai Baba then said to me " How about your son? " and I

replied, " Waiting for the results, Swami. " Sai Baba responded " He is

going to be selected, he is going to be an engineer, he is going to

pass with distinction, don't worry, Anil Kumar. "

 

I immediately fell at His Feet and I thought to myself " Oh God, when

the President of India and all the VIPs are waiting at the door, you

still manage to show concern for this little, unimportant fellow,

Anil Kumar. I am grateful to you Swami, for this concern, this love,

which rises above position, status and money. "  

 

Let me give you another incident. One day, in Darshan, I was reading

a letter from my daughter, who is a doctor in the USA, in

Minneapolis. She was doing her internship there at the time and she

had written me a very touching letter in which she told me not to

worry about her, adding that Americans were very kind people, who

were always ready to help her.

 

One day, while returning home from the hospital, she missed a

turning and got lost. She could not find the way back to the hostel

where she was staying. Even though she felt like crying, she began

singing some of Swami's bhajans instead and prayed to Swami for

help. Immediately an American stopped his car and said, " May I help

you? Where do you want to go? "

 

She gave him her address and he dropped her off at her hostel. She

concluded her letter by saying " Daddy, don't worry about me. "  I

folded the letter and put it in my pocket, wiping away the tears of

joy that were flowing down my cheeks, and then suddenly I realized

that Swami was standing in front of me and so I started smiling and

pretended to be happy.

 

Swami said to me " Where is the letter? "

 I replied " Letter, Swami? " not wanting Him to know about my

daughter's letter.

" Yes, the letter, " said Swami " the one that is there in your pocket,

give it to Me. "

 

I said, " Swami, it is a letter from my daughter. "

Sai Baba then said " I know.Your daughter in America constantly

thinks of me, whilst you, who are here in Puttaparthi, close to me,

think only of your daughter in America! That is the difference!! ! "
