Growing up in the Grace of Bhagavan

Childhood Memories

...................

 

The atmosphere in the hall was relaxed. If there was a noise, say a child's cry

before it was hushed by the parent, or the greeting exchanged between friends,

there was no reprimand, no stern eye turned towards them. People were quiet

out of respect for the Master whose supreme teaching was communicated

by silence.

 

There was a delightful little girl called Lalitha who was a bit naughty. Bhagavan

was very fond of her, as he generally was of children. One day she was going

around touching papers and other things, her embarassed mother exclaimed,

"Lalitha what are you doing?" To which she replied , "I'm not doing anything."

The Maharshi commented, "You see how the truth is uttered instinctively

by children. I, in truth, does not do anything, it is the higher Self that acts."

Thus Bhagavan gave a lesson on surrender which is the first step on the path

to Self-realization."
