He decide who can come to Him
and leave Him Generally we as
individuals and successfule human beings have a feeling
that we can control many things and can do many activities by mere
wish or
hard work. This may be true in many cases but certainly not in
Bhagawan's
dharsan and Parthi's visit. He always says He and He alone can decide
who
can come to HIM and leave Him. Without His will no one can have His
dharsan.
Well, here the leela is about a person Late KASTHURI. This acclaimed
professor, scholar,the first editor of SANATHANA SARATHI (the official
monthly publication of Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust) and english
translator
for Bhagawan's speeches one day wanted to go to Bangalore from Parthi
on
some publication activity. It is a custom for officials in Parthi to
take
Swami's permission to go out of Parthi. He got this work of going to
Parthi
after Swami retired for the day, finishing morning Bhajan. In Parthi
Swami
gives morning Dharshan and evening Dharsan and in the afternoon talks
to
some officials about Trust and college activities. It so happened that
Mr.
Kasthuri could not obtain Swami's permission to go to Bangalore before
the
end of Bhajan in the morning. As the work was very important he could
not
postpone the journey till the afternoon and thought he could go to
Bangalore
(about 120KM from Parthi) and come back before evening
Dharsan. Thinking so
he started to Bangalore. A few kilometers passed by. Suddenly his car
broke
down a few kilometers away from Puttaparhi border. His driver spent a
long
time in diagnoising the problem and finally concluded that car did not
have
any known problem and hence he could not repair. Well, by then Mr.
Kasthuri
also got tired and also realised that even if he started then he could
not
make it to the evening Dharsan so he started walking back. After he
walked
for a few kilometers he saw a car coming from Mandir towards him. To
his
astonishment he found that it was for him only. The reason was swami
wanted
to talk to him immediately. Mr. Kasturi jumped in the car to see
Bhagawan.
Swami met him in the varanda itself. Mischeviously looking into Mr.
Kasturi's eyes Swami asked him 'What Kasthuri, your Bangalore journey
is OK'
How did you come so soon? Then Mr. Kasturi realised the reason for
his car
break down and fell at swami's feet.
After that he never left Parthi without taking Swami's permission.
Why I am writing this story is only to say that nothing is possible
without
His knowledge and certainly nothing happens to those who are in His
protective umbrella. Tommorrow I would like to narrate a story about a
person who is alive and stay right in front of us in USA. He is none
other
than Dr. Goldstine the president of Sathya Sai Org. USA.
With humble Pranams
