Swami knows everything

[Guest guest]

Professor Krishna Nandan Sinha has given a vivid experience of his wife Malti at Prasanthi Nilayam, in his book, ‘Sri Sathya Sai Baba, Absolute Sole Lord of Life and Death’.

 

Malti Sinha, wife of Krishna Nandan Sinha was at Prasanthi Nilayam during the birthday celebrations of Bhagavan Baba. After the Darshan, she along with her friend Prema, daughter of Sri Atri were walking in a leisurely fashion on the streets of the Nilayam and were talking intimately about their experiences about Swami and comparing notes, suddenly there was commotion on the street and among the passerbys, the red sleek imported car of Swami was seen coming out of the Ashram gate - the reason for people lining up on both sides of the street. The car moved slowly amidst the assembled devotees and moved in the direction of Gokulam. The activity in the narrow and congested street continued as before and both the ladies proceeded towards a photo shop, still animated by having a close view of Swami.

 

After purchasing Swami’s photographs, they were returning to the Ashram, walking slowly, still in their conversation when Prema said, “Look, Swami’s car is returning. Let us line up and stand on the pavementâ€.

 

Driven by a strange inner impulse Malti whispered, “I wish Swami’s car ran me down and trampled me so that every particle of my flesh and bone and each drop of my blood flies to Him and scatters over the Lotus Feet, a real consummation of my desire:†. Suddenly a strange thing happened. The car came very fast and there was grating noise of the clutch and the brake. The car stopped just a yard from the place where Malti was standing. The passerbys were all surprised and clustered around the car. Swami opened the door of the car and beckoned to her. Malti drew near Him in a nervous and apprehensive frame of mind.

 

Swami smiled affably and asked her, “Shall I ask the driver to run you over and trample you down so that every portion of your flesh and bone and each drop of your blood flies to me and pour over my feet like a sacred fountain?â€. At that moment there was not a single drachma of blood within Malti that did not tremble, as she recognised the token of Divine love. But she hardly had courage enough to look at Him full in the face or bend down to touch His Lotus Feet. It was Swami Himself who directed her with a gesture of His hand to touch His Feet. He was looking at her tenderly as the car moved slowly in the direction of the Ashram gate.
