The snake and the car Sairam to everyone,
As part of outr on going effort to keep in touch with bhagawan and his
leelas today I would like to share a small incident happened in Parthi
which
shows how compassanate lord he is.
Well it was a hot summar afternoon Swami was coming back to Parthi
after a
hectic day at Bangalore. Radhakrishna (Then the driver and close
associate
of Swami) was driving and Swami was lost in his divine silence. Usualy
when
Swami does not talk noone dares to disturb him. When the car was
moving at
high speeds suddenly Radhakrishna saw a huge snake crawling across the
road. Thinking applying sudden brakes would disturb Bhagawan Radhakrishna
ran over the snake praying the omnipotent lord about the safety of the
snake. Nothing happened Radhakrishna peeped through the rear view
mirror and
confirmed swami was not disturbed.
Well they reached Parthi without any more troubles apparently. Then
Swami
got down from the car at the front door of Prasanthinilayam waved at
the
awaiting devotees and talked to a few devotees about their problems
consoled,advised and with his usual smile moved inside the resting
room.
Then he sent a call to Radhakrishna that swami wanted to see him
immediately. Radhakrishna arrived wondering to know why swami called
him.
Swami with a smile looked at Radh Krishna and told Radha you have been
with
me for so long you think that you understood swami. If you did why
this
happens Saying that he lifted his shirt to show a scar on his back. It
was
the mark of car tire. Then Bhagawan explains my luxary or comfort is
certainly not important than the life of another being. If I kill some
living being for my comfort how can I be a protector and omnisciencent.
I
had to lay over the snake to protect its life from the car.
What I am trying to say in this incident is to narrate how beautifully
He
communicates. The message is perfect. Take care of fellow beings which
or
who share all the five elements with you.
I beg your pardon for any mistakes in this.
Wshing you a pleasent day.
Sairam
