Swami's Love of a Thousand Mothers

[Guest guest]

There

was a Student of the Sathya Sai University whose father died during his

childhood. Swami had told his mother that He would look after the boy

and his elder brother who is still working in Prasanthi Nilayami. Swami

also called the student and told him: "From now, I am your father. If

you need anything, you should ask Me and not trouble your brother or

mother."

 

A few days passed and the exams were over and most

of the students were going home and this student also wanted to go and

see his mother, But he did not have money for the ticket. He asked his

elder brother who too expressed his inability to spare any money at

that point of time. The boy was distressed, but did not tell anyone.

 

In those days, Swami would call all the students to sit right from the bhajan door once bhajans started. Swami would keep moving in and out of the bhajan hall on several rounds of darshan.

 

One such day, He had just come and sat down on the

throne and was looking at the students as everyone rushed to sit at the

front. Swami then suddenly got up and went into the interview room

door. He then signaled to the student to follow Him inside. Five

minutes later, the student came out profoundly weeping and in tears.

What happened was..

 

Swami had called him inside and asked him: "I told

you that if you need anything you should ask me. Why did you go and

trouble your brother? I know you want to go home and see your mother.

You should have asked me. Am I not your father? Why do you then

hesitate to ask me what you want?" He then gave him money for the

ticket and more for his expenses told him to go and enjoy his holidays.

 

The Student had never told even a single person

about him wanting to go home apart from his Brother. Swami knew as He

knows everything at all times.
