PERFECT DEATH!!! Long back, there was an eight-year-old daughter of a lady known as Chincholi Rajamma, and used to visit Puttaparthi with her mother. She skipped and ran, laughed and crooned, and flitted about like a ray of sunshine in the presence of Baba. One evening, while Baba was about to proceed with a small group of devotees to the Chitravathi sands, she brought His sandals and placed them on the ground before Him. Baba patted her on her head and said, "What do you want? Tell me. "She surprised everyone and shocked her mother by her reply: "I want to be absorbed in you." Baba said, "You are a child; you have to get married, bring up a family and make your mother happy." But the girl insisted that these things were trivial when compared with mergence in Him. Where from she learned all this, people wondered. Baba wiped her tears and said, "Your father is no more; you have to be with your mother." But she protested "If, as you say, I get married, I will still have to leave my mother. No, I wish you would shelter me for ever." Baba was silent for a while. His response to the agony of the tender heart was, "Good, Good," and He tweaked her cheek. Five days later at Bangalore, on a Thursday, she died peacefully with her eyes fixed on a portrait of Baba which she had herself adorned with garlands barely three hours before, while continuously reciting Bhajans. What a perfect death!!! The mother was grateful that the Lord has welcomed her daughter into His arms. "Come to me gladly; dive into the sea and discover its depth; there is no use dallying near the shore and swearing that the sea is shallow and has no pearls. Dive deep and you will secure your desire." – BABA "I will be very happy, if all of you can become children once again. A child will never have the bad qualities of anger, passion, jealousy, conceit and ego. Jesus Christ was always appreciative of the quality of innocence in children. Once, he lifted a small child from the lap of her mother in the crowd and said "I like this small child very much; she has all the qualities of Divinity. She is pure, selfless and is in perfect bliss". - BABA http://www.ineval.com/sai/Teachings/SathyamSivamSundaram/s1054.html Read the entire collection of experiences under 'SAIPRASHANTHI GURUKULAM' (10 PARTS) http://www.ssso.net/gurukulam/Preview.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
