Lost Talisman

One evening, Baba took all those devotees, who were at the old Mandir, to the sands of the river.  After Bhajan, Baba called one devotee, Sri C.N.P. near Him and talked to him consolingly about his personal problems.  Suddenly He took out from the sands a talisman or Raksha and handed it to C.N.P. Baba had already given one talisman to this devotee some time back and he had kept that in a silver box in the shrine at his home.  When Baba gave him another, he was alarmed that his problems had worsened, that was why Baba felt he needed another Raksha as additional protection.

So he made bold to question Swami as to why a second Raksha for him.  Smilingly, the loving Lord replied, "This is the one I gave you last!  You left it at home in a silver box, it had been stolen yesterday.  Here, keep this Raksha safe!"

And it was true, when C.N.P. went home, he found the house broken into and the silver box gone, along with some other silverware!
