He reveals flashes of His Divinity at times purposefully to bless and show
the world that He is indeed the finer essence of our very being. Sri K. R. K. Brat
wrote in the 1968 April issue of Sanathana Sarathi a small, yet beautiful
episode sharing these flashes of Divinity ... Read on...
On
Guru Poornima Day, there was a big gathering of devotees from all parts of
India at Prasanthi Nilayam, a gathering of at least a few thousands. I had no
chance all these years of receiving from Baba's Hands the sanctifying Amrith
that He distributes on holy festivals. So I was anxious to be present and to
receive it. The devotees had arranged themselves in rows along the verandah
and porch and the open spaces opposite the Nilayam expecting Baba to come
through there and give the nectar that thrills the soul.
A
few minutes before the arrival of Baba, a volunteer asked us, under
directions, to go into the Prayer Hall and sit in lines there; for, Baba will
enter the Hall and give Amrith there also. Only two or three of us responded
and went into the Hall. The rest remained where they were. Meanwhile, Baba
started distributing the nectar to the people on the verandah and those who
received it came into the Prayer Hall, for it was nearing Bhajan time. The
volunteers did not allow us to move out of the Hall to where Baba was; the
rule is that no one should disturb others by getting up in the middle and
walking towards the door. I prayed to Baba to take pity on me.
After
about an hour, Baba entered the Prayer Hall. Seeing a few devotees like me
who had not received the Amrith, He summoned for the vessel, and graciously
distributed it to those few. He came near me; I was overjoyed that my prayers
had been answered; but, to my surprise, He said that I had already received
it at His Hands! I could not understand Him. I begged Him to bless me with
the Amrith He had in His hand, saying I had not received it. With a smile and
a look full of mercy, He said, "All right! Have your second dose!"
and poured into my palm a spoonful of the nectar.
After
the Bhajan, I returned to my room, with mixed feelings, and sat before the
portrait of Baba in my prayer room. To my great astonishment, I saw drops of
Amrith, trickling down from that photograph. Baba had given me the first dose
of Amrith in my room, in answer to my prayers. What He gave me in the Prayer
Hall was the second dose!
O,
Sarvajna, Sarvasaktha, Sarvantharyami, Deenadayapara! I surrender at Thy
Feet.
