The Crumpled Letter
There are many incidents that reveal Swami's compassion. Let me narrate one that I remember. One day Swami was giving darshan to the devotees in Prashanthi Nilayam. As he walked amidst them, I saw a small girl, scarcely five years old, trying to give a letter to Swami. “Did this small girl write the letter ? Perhaps her mother would have written it.
I thought. Even as this thought flashed across my mind, I saw Swami taking the letter, crumpling it and throwing it down as if it was waste paper. This strange act of His made me wonder, may be Swami meant that the letter was a waste paper. Did this mean that their prayers were answered? He is compassionate. He might have answered. Even if He did not, there must be some meaning to it. This small girl was suffering from heart ailment.
The doctors in Madras and Hyderabad confirmed the presence of a hole in her heart. When they came to super specialty hospital at Prashanthi Nilayam, the same result awaited them. The doctors confirmed the hole in her heart. The date for the operation was fixed. The girl"s mother wrote a letter to Swami about the operation, and asked the girl to hand it over to Swami.
This was the scene witnessed by people in the darshan queue . The mother saw Swami crumpling the letter, and took it as a rejection. Mother"s heart bled for her child assuming that there was no hope. The day of the operation dawned. The girl was wheeled into the operation theater. When the final tests were done the same doctors could not believe themselves!
They
found
that
there
was
no
trace
of
any
hole
in
the
heart.
The
child
was
perfectly
healthy.
They
went
home
glad
and
grateful
to
Swami.
What
a
way
to
indicate
His
benediction.
Only
Swami
knows
the
purpose
of
what
He
does.
However,
once
in
a
while
He
does
let
us
peep
behind
the
curtain
of
His
mysterious
ways.
He
always
wants
to
instill
joy
in
us.
Perhaps
He
wants
us
to
understand
Him.
But
then
He
also
says
that
we
should
not
try
to
understand
Him
but
only
experience
Him.
Probably,
He
gives
us
these
glimpses
so
that
we
will
know
the
inscrutable
nature
of
his
deeds,
and
the
futility
of
our
efforts
to
comprehend
them.
