A couple brought their little daughter, sick with heart trouble, to Puttaparthi. Doctors at the Super Specialty Hospital found two or three holes in her heart. As the case was considered an emergency, they decided to perform open-heart surgery the very next morning. She was immediately admitted.
The distraught father decided to inform Baba about the crisis early next morning and to obtain His blessings. So he went and sat in the audience hall. The ever-merciful Baba was moving among the devotees. A boy whose birthday happened to be on that day, brought toffees and offered them to Swami. Baba accepted them and threw handfuls of the toffees among the seated devotees. One piece landed in the lap of the heart-broken father of the heart patient. He was overjoyed and accepted it as Swami's holy prasadam. He took it to his daughter and made her eat it.
A little while later, the patient was moved in for operation. The doctors took last minute X-rays and, to their consternation, found no trace of anything wrong with her heart. They decided that she needed no operation and discharged her.
Is it possible for anybody to describe Swami's immeasurable love and mercy in words?
(From the book "Tapovanam" by J.V.Sastry)
