Mantra from Swami




DO WE REALLY NEED A MANTRA FROM SWAMI?

Once, Professor Kasturi (Biographer of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba) was consumed by the desire to receive a mantra from Bhagavan.
Having mentioned this to Baba, he bathed himself in the Ganges and fasted all morning to receive it. Morning came hours passed and noon. But no Mantra.
Lunchtime, he was seatednext to Bhagavan. Bhagavan asked, "Kasturi, why are not you eating?" "The mantra ..." began a miserable Kasturi. "What is the purpose of getting a Mantra?" asked Bhagavan. "To get closer to God," was the reply.

  Baba looked at Kasturi's arm and then at His own. They were almost touching. "Well," He smiled in His Divinely way down to earth, "How much closer do you want to get?"

Bhagavan is indeed a unique multifaceted diamond, precious and priceless!
