This beautiful story was narrated by a devotee.
One day Swami was giving darshan in Prasanthi Nilayam when a small girl, barely five years old, was trying to give a letter to Swami, who took the letter, crumpled it and threw it down. Everyone was shocked and very disappointed. Only later it came to light that the small girl had a heart ailment and doctors in Madras and Hyderabad confirmed the presence of a hole in her heart. When they came to the Super Speciality Hospital at Prasanthi Gram, the same diagnosis was given. The date of the operation was fixed. The girl's mother wrote the letter and gave it to the child to hand it to Swami. When Swami crumpled and threw it down, the mother took it as rejection and her heart bled for her child. But the Lord's ways are inscrutable.
The day of the operation dawned and the girl was wheeled into the Operation Theatre. When the final tests were done, the doctors could not believe what they found. They checked again and found no trace of the hole in her heart. The child was perfectly healthy. They went home happy and grateful. When Swami crumpled the letter, he had "crushed" the hole in the heart!
