Swami responds to every Single Prayer

[Guest guest]

This incident happened in 1970. The college, and also the hostel attached to it, was in Bangalore (Whitefield). As the hostel was too small, Swami was thinking of building a bigger hostel to accommodate more and more students in the coming years. So the plans were all made ready to lay the foundation stone for the construction of a new hostel in Bangalore. The plans were ready, all the orders were placed, and the date also was fixed to lay the foundation stone. However, the boys were not happy because the proposed new hostel would be a long way away from Swami. The boys would be distant from Him. Psychologically, they were not prepared for this physical distance. At that moment, a very young boy gave a letter to Swami, who was deeply touched and literally moved by reading that little letter. Bhagavan responds to our prayers. Prayer

makes anything on earth possible, though it may seem impossible to all of us poor mortals. There is nothing that cannot be done by prayer. Because of this simple, genuine, humble prayer of this young boy, Swami decided to respond positively. “Swami, are You justified in taking us away from You? Do you think that we can bear this separation? If You have decided to construct a new hostel specially for us, I pray Bhagavan for You now to have a residence built for Yourself too, at the side of our new hostel.” So he wanted Swami to have a new building constructed for Him also. The young boy didn’t want to be at a physical distance from Bhagavan, which would be the result of living in the new hostel. So he wrote, “Swami, You too have a new house built by the side of our proposed new hostel.” That really touched Swami. He called the chief

engineer in charge of the construction of the hostel building and said, “Change the plans. Shift the plot from there to this place, so that the boys can stay very close to Me. They don’t want to be away from Me; they are crying.” Om Sai Ram Source : www.saiwisdom.com
