DIVINE PRASAD – A LESSON TO LEARN

In 1913 Nama-saptha, Baba sat surrounded by a large crowd.

Baba: Shama, go out. Beyond the wall there is an old man sitting and he has some

sugar candy with him. Beg of him some candy for me and bring it.

Shama went out and found an old man, his saliva dripping, stinking pus exuding

from a wound on his chest, pestered by flies and wearing a rag, in one corner

of which some sugar candy was tied in a knot. Shama brought him through the

crowd to Baba and said "He here is".

Baba placed his hand in blessing on the old man’s head, took out a piece

of the candy and said "Take back the rest of the candy" (as prasad).
