Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 A meaningful Touch During the war, a boy was brought into the hospital badly wounded. Word was sent to the mother that the boy was dying. She came to the hospital and begged to see him, but the doctors said that he was just hovering between life and death and that the slightest excitement might kill him. Besides, he was unconscious and would not know her. She promised that she would not speak to him or make the slightest noise, but begged to sit by the side of his bed and be with him. The doctor relented and gave permission for her to sit there without a word. She sat by her boy with her heart bursting. His eyes were closed. She gently put her hand upon his brow. Without opening his eyes the boy whispered. 'Mother, you have come. 'The touch of that mother's hand was self-verifying to the boy. Did you have any such experience from your mother, father, brother, sister or friend? (Source Shri Sai Padananda July 1998) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
