Sai Ram Divine Ones reading this
message:
This took place in the Verandah at Prasanthi Nilayam on
November 26, 1999.
Our Lord had just emerged from the interview room. A small
student sitting in the first line where the students sit (one step below the
main verandah) clasped a letter in his two palms and offered it to Swami. Swami
took the letter and the boy offered Padnamaskar. Then Swami asked the boy if it
was a big letter or a small letter, the boy did not reply but just kept on
looking a Swami with palms clasped in Namaskar position. Swami opened the
envelope and saw the letter and instantly there was so much joy all around, just
looking at the expression on Swami's face.
Swami first read the letter
for everyone seated in the front and then showed the letter to the students
seated in the front as well as the adults seated in the front in the
Verandah.
The letter went: "MY DEAR SWAMI, PLEASE DON'T WORK SO HARD,
PLEASE TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR HEALTH, FOR YOUR BODY IS MY BODY".
Swami
then asked the boy 'How old are you?'
The boy replied 'Seven'.
Swami also
asked the boy 'From where are you?'
The boy replied 'From Swami'.
At this
point Swami looked around to everyone with so much joy, as if to say, 'Look at
this boy!'
Immediately Swami turned to Uncle G.B. (co-ordinator for
Arabian Gulf countries) and asked him 'From where are you?' Uncle G.B. replied
'From You Swami', and Swami said to him 'I Know, I know, I know, you are simply
saying that because you just heard this little boy say the same thing, you are
from Dubai'.
Then Swami materialised Vibhuti for the 7 year old boy, and
no sooner did He finish materialising the Vibhuti, the boy pulled out a
handkerchief for Swami to wipe His hands!
My opinion is that perhaps we can learn a lesson of
simplicity, honesty and purity from this act of Divinity which took place
between the 7 year old boy and Our Lord!
Yours in Divine friendship,
S. D. B. D.
