Look Deeper!!!

By Mrs. Usha Ranganathan

" A man, to be greatly good, must imagine intensively and

comprehensively; he must put himself in the place of another and of many

others; the pains and pleasures of his specie must become his own. "

- SHELLY

It was on the 3rd August 1990 at Madras. My husband was admitted in a

Nursing Home and I was taking care of him. I had gone out to a nearby

shop to purchase some medicines. As I was talking to the shop-keeper, an

old man presented him-self and sought alms from me. Very much annoyed,

the shop-keeper shouted and asked him to go away: " This is not the place

for begging. " The old man stood imperturbably and told me: " My Daughter

- Sai Baba is kind to you " . He smiled at me.

 

" Give me ten rupees. Look at your hand. Sai-Ramji has blessings for you.

Give me ten rupees. " Instinctively I looked down at my hand. On my right

palm was imprinted in black Devanagari script 'Sai Ram'. It would have

taken no more than a feather to knock me down. The man was ten feet away

from where I was standing and he had not come within touching distance.

I took out twenty five rupees and offered him. He blessed me and left. I

rubbed my eyes. There was no question of its having been hypnotism, for

I had to use soap before I could remove that sooty imprint.

Sai Baba in His own inimitable style had given me 'darshan' and blessed

me.
