A Wonderful Incident of Swami's care and compassion

[Guest guest]

The Below wonderful wonderful incident which shows Swami's Divine care and compassion is taken from a Wonderful talk given by Prof.Anil Kumar in September 2002 :

 

Once Swami Was serving Food to some poor people to start Narayana Seva, Suddenly stopped at one spot, noticing a lady who was carrying a little, small child in her arms. Swami stopped there and called to one Seva Dal boy. "We are serving food to these people; how about that child?"The Seva Dal Boy had no reply. "Swami, what should I do?""Bring a glass of milk for this child."So the Seva Dal boy went all the way to bring one tumbler of milk.Swami went on moving around the lines, serving food. From a long distance, He stopped and shouted, "Did you give milk to that child?"That boy said, "Yes, Swami."Swami said, "Nothing doing!"Swami went all the way back to that lady and touched the glass. "It is very, very hot. How do you expect the child to drink the milk? No, bring another glass."He started cooling the milk -- pouring it this way and that, pouring it from one glass into

the other. He made it cool and offered the milk to the child and only then left.This shows the personal care He takes and the sprit that He wants us to maintain while doing seva. Seva or service is not a routine; it is not mechanical, no! It is not a schedule. We have to do it wholeheartedly.
