Guest guest Posted April 6, 2002 Report Share Posted April 6, 2002 A devotee from north India, M. who stayed here for a few years in the later forties, was in the money-lending business. He was a staunch devotee of Bhagavan, but his activities were disliked by almost everyone in and around the Ashram. He lost all his money, his only daughter became mad and she came over here to stay with him, adding to his burden. M. was totally shattered; still he contined to stay in the vicinity of the Ashram. One day, in April, 1950, he stood in the queue to have darshan of Sri Bhagavan who was then very ill. Devotees were strictly prevented from talking to Bhagavan, much less to hand over things to Him. M. stood in front of Sri Bhagavan and dropped a piece of paper at His feet and moved away. Bhagavan read it and kept it under His pillow. After some time, an attendant came to fetch M. Others felt that it was to reprimand M. for having transgressed the rules. However, he was taken straight to Bhagavan. Sri Bhagavan looked at M. with intense grace for sometime and nodded His head to express approval. On the paper M. had written: "Bhagavan, save me"! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ganesan: Moments Remembered, p. 10f ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
