He was absorbed in deep thought, with his attention focussed on Swami. Swami turned to him and asked, “Why are you sitting with a castor oil face? Why are you so serious?”
So saying, Swami materialised a pair of earrings and gave them to him. Even as everyone around him was wondering why Swami had presented earrings to a boy, Swami materialised another pair of rings and gave those also to the same boy. Inquisitive as he was, Prof.Anil Kumar asked Swami why He gave two sets of earrings to a boy and said that he had three daughters. If Swami had given that gift to him, it would have been useful. Even as doubts ran in the minds of everyone around, Swami chided Anil Kumar saying,
“I know whom to give what, where and when. The boy’s mother had died leaving behind her two daughters. She had desired to make earrings for both of them but her wish could not be fulfilled. Hence, as a mother, I had to fulfil the wishes of that mother."
Through the gift of earrings Swami had demonstrated that "Truth expressed in the form of action, is Love". The doubts of those around were dissolved through tears in their eyes at the loving gesture of benevolent Mother Sai.
