Guest guest Posted November 3, 2002 Report Share Posted November 3, 2002 Hi Gang, What a great suggestion from Premarupa! I heartily agree and hereby contribute the following story, which occured on this summer's tour. It was devi bhava night in Iowa and the crowds had been such that I hadn't gone for darsan either day. I was doing seva all night long, but near enough Amma to be able to go for darshan. As usual, I inwardly asked, "Amma, what time do you want this child to come for darshan?" In my mind, the answer was "5:00". So about 4 a.m. I told the person supervising me that I wanted to go for darshan "at some point," inwardly thinking of 5:00. To my surprise, this person said, "Well, if you want to go, go now because we may get busy later." Hmmm! So I approached the stage, but inwardly it just felt all wrong, and I then got out of line and told my supervisor that it felt wrong, and perhaps I just wouldn't go after all. Inwardly I was okay with not going, but I prayed to Amma, "Okay, Amma, if you want me to come for darshan you're going to have to give me a sign, because otherwise I'm not coming." About a half an hour later I needed to take a restroom break. As usual, I stopped by the shoe rack to put on my orthopedic shoes, a nice break from going barefoot! But this time something was different. There was something in my shoe! What could it be? I pawed at the inside of the shoe trying to see what it was. Can you guess? There were darshan tokens in my shoe--a whole handful! I gasped in disbelief. Never before in all the years I've followed Amma have I found a single darshan token in my shoe. Here were 37 of them! Well, I definitely took that as a sign! When I told my supervisor about it, she wholeheartedly agreed, and so I went for a lovely darshan. Perhaps you can guess the final synchronicity. Right after darshan I just happened to check my watch, and it was 5:02 a.m.! Is it any wonder we're all so crazy about Amma? Jai Ma!
