Probably some of you are thinking, “Swami is leaving Prashanti Nilayam” on 6th,7th,10th or 12th that is very uncertain.” If you ask me when

he leaves, I also don’t know. I am not informed. I come to know of Swami leaving this place only when people run towards Mandir. I ask one of them” Why are you running ? “Swami is leaving” he says, and I start running towards Mandir. When Swami is here, we are not definite when He will be leaving. After He leaves, we are not definite when He will be returning. He proceeds towards north, He may go up to Delhi or Mussoree or Simla or Himalayas ! No one knows. In the olden days, while following Him by car He would ask us to go and wait at some milestone, and there we would be informed where He was going until we reached that milestone. We would not be knowing where He would go! That is the uncertainty! Other gurus or teachers will not keep their followers under uncertainty, because they don’t want to disappoint them and loose them. A sheep lost is a loss to the shepherd.

He wants to keep all the sheep’s together, but Swami is beyond all that. In one of his introduction poems, Swami says, if you are pleased and proud that I have allowed you to come near me and be near me, immediately you also face the possibility of being pushed away! If you find that you are getting proud because I have allowed you to come near me, and because of that others are honoring you, then I will push you away. In our country, we touch the feet of elders for the very fact that they have lived so long!.

Prof Kasturi says Some people touch my feet because I am old. Swami warns me “Yeh! You are getting proud, head swelling” and I say” No Swami.” Then Swami says you are accepting namskar, allow people to touch your feet! And I say “Swami, mistake of being born earlier! Moreover, I was a teacher for 32 years and my students, very much remember me as their teacher and so, when they meet me, they touch my feet. What to do?” And Swami says “But you have been accepting without demur, as if it is your due! When they come to touch your feet you don’t protest. You just offer your feet. That is where pride comes. Don’t allow pride to enter you. Keep

protesting. Don’t go on gathering Namaskar. If an old student of mine comes and stands before me without touching my feet, I may get angry. These are the attitudes to be avoided, and therefore Swami asks us to be careful. He says don’t be glad for having been allowed to come near me, you may be pushed out! Of course, I have been a target a number of times! It is difficult thing to decide how near or how far you should be from Him. It is something like fire. If you go too near you get burnt! And if you keep too far you

get cold! Taking advantage of closeness to Him, feeling it is my due, because I am a big scholar, because I am indispensable to his glory, such swelling of head will result in being pushed away! Once it happened to me says (Kasturi) this story will continue please wait to hear as it is very interesting. (Sharing With Sai Love) Ram.Chugani) Ram ChuganiKobe, Japanrgcjp
