A college student of Swami went to his village for holidays. He was going cycling to the nearby town for purchase of household articles. He was returning by noon in the hot sun on the bicycle. He saw a young lady known to him in the village walking. She requested him to take her on the carrier of his bicycle. He was in a dilemma. Whether Swami will approve his taking this young lady on his bicycle was his doubt. He reasoned that helping her would not be wrong, since Swami said often, "Help Ever, Hurt Never." He took her and dropped her in her house in the village.
On his return to Prashanti Nilayam, he went for Darshan of Swami. He was still nurturing the doubt whether he had committed any mistake in taking that young lady on his bicycle. Swami came to his side and even before he asked Swami, Swami said, "No Mistake". He was too happy that Swami Himself had said that there is no mistake. Next day, when in a group interview, Swami called him and said, "I said "No Miss Take" and not "No Mistake". Do you understand?" The student fell at Swami's feet and begged pardon!
