Day by Day with Bhagavan, 27-5-46

27-5-46

 

 

 

Nagamma's niece, a girl of about 9, wanted to know why Bhagavan would

never leave Tiruvannamalai and go to visit his devotees. She put the

question through G.V.S. but Bhagavan kept silent. However, she

importuned G.V.S. to get a reply. Finally Bhagavan said: " You wanted

to see me, so you came here, and as I am always here you were able to

see me; but if I kept moving about you might not find me here. Many

people come here and if I was absent they would have to go away

disappointed. Even if I left here how do you know I should ever reach

your house, when there are so many people in Tiruvannamalai and other

towns on the way who would invite me to their houses. If I agreed to

go to your house I should have to agree to go to their houses too,

and I might never reach yours. And besides, all this crowd of people

you see here would go with me. Even here I can't go anywhere or the

whole crowd follow, like that time when I went to Skandasramam. " He

added, jokingly, " I am kept in confinement. This is my gaol. "
