With two teeth
"Your letter has not reached me yet;
but, I have read it already. You posted it to Madras, not knowing
that I have come back here. I was near you when you wrote it. Your
mother must know be very much better: is it not?" This is what
Baba wrote to a devotee, some years back. He is Sarvantharyami; He
is in all places, at all times.
Our letter need not
reach Him. Even when it reaches Him, He need not open it and read
the contents!
One
day, I happened to be in His room when the post came. When He
dropped on the floor one letter unread and unopened, some newly
arrived person muttered, "Swami, you have not read that letter. It
may be some tale of misery". Baba smiled and said, "No,No. It is a
tale of joy, He says that a son has been born to him; but, he is
worried that the baby was born with frontal teeth." Then, He told
us the whole story with the envelope in His hand.
"A Vaisya couple
from a village in Telengana had come on pilgrimage to Puttaparthi
a year ago; they prayed that they may be blessed with progeny. I
gave the man an apple and asked him to share it with his wife. He
took it in his hand and examined it. Finding some marks on the
skin, indicating that it might have been bitten by a rat or so, he
asked me what it was, evidently nervous about eating it. I told
him that they both could eat it. 'Only, the baby will have two
frontal at birth. Don't worry.'
He has now written
that the child has been born and, (Here, He tore open the
envelope, took out the letter and turning over the lines showed us
the very sentence) "he has asked Me whether any Santhi has to be
performed, to alleviate what he fears be a calamity!"
Looking at that
sentence, we stood amazed, in the resplendent Presence of
Bhagavan.
Baba is Sarvajna,
Sarvasaktha, Sarvaantharyami.

Sanathana Sarathi, June 1960)
