The author Dr. A.V.
Lakshminarasimhan, is a
Faculty Member in the
Department of
Bio-Sciences of the
Sathya Sai Institute of
Higher Learning at the
Prasanthi Nilayam
Campus. This is one of
the miracles mentioned
in his article.
"Way back in 1948 when
Bhagawan was 22 years of
age in this beautiful
physical frame, a
certain wealthy man
visited Prasanthi
Nilayam along with his
twin sons who were born
blind. This wealthy man
had toured the world
over and had consulted
great eye-specialists
but all of them had said
unanimously that it was
impossible to provide
eyesight to the blind
twins. Hence the wealthy
man had come to see the
young Bhagawan. Bhagawan
did not see them for
seven long days. When
the devotees, who had
brought this family to
Prasanthi Nilayam,
prayed to Bhagawan for
an interview, He called
the wealthy man and his
family along with the
devotees. Bhagawan gave
them all a profound
discourse on the law of
Karma and human dharma.
At the end, when the
devotees prayed and
almost persuaded
Bhagawan to grant sight
to the twins, He said,
'Look, what these twins
have done in their past
life' and asked the
devotees to look towards
the corner of the
interview room. What
they saw was like a
movie. These twins
appeared as two cruel
dacoits. They appeared
to be tying two other
persons to a tree in the
forest and plucking out
their eyes and robbing
them of their wealth.
The devotee was
perplexed and disturbed
seeing this incident
taking place before his
eyes.
Bhagawan asked the
devotees.'Tell me, shall
I grant sight to these
boys? If you are in My
place what will you do?'
The devotee had no
answer. He fell at
Bhagawan's Lotus feet
and cried, 'Baba, pardon
me for my audacity. You
are God, being ever
present in the past,
present and future. You
are our destiny. Please
save us all.' Bhagawan
with all His Love lifted
the devotee and said
that the twins had
repented for their evil
deeds and prayed to God
for forgiveness. Their
lifestyle had changed.
They served the poor
with the robbed money
and as a result of which
they have been born in
the house of the wealthy
man. They cannot,
however, escape from the
evil act of blinding two
innocent persons and
hence had to be born
blind. Bhagawan assured
that now that they had
come to His divine
presence, their future
would be good and that
He would take care of
them and would bless
them."
